BGM Expands Into New England With Norwalk Acquisition

Partners David W. Gibbs and Kenneth T. Miller will remain at the helm of the Norwalk office, ensuring continuity for existing clients while transitioning the firm under the BGM brand. The acquisition folds R. L. DePanfilis & Company’s extensive portfolio—ranging from estate planning and tax compliance to complex financial audits—into BGM’s broader advisory framework.

BGM CEO Dane J. Boeckermann noted that the alignment of service philosophies prompted the deal, which was facilitated by Joe Tarasco of Accountants Advisory Group. For local clients, the merger promises stability in daily operations while granting access to BGM’s expanded wealth management and trust services. This consolidation broadens BGM’s geographic footprint, reinforcing its presence as a top-tier national advisory firm.
