Platform Accounting Group announced that Pennsylvania-based accounting firm Keystone Advisor Group has joined the group. Formerly known as Heckman & Laudeman, LLC, the firm has been in practice for more than 30 years serving the greater Pennsylvania business community, as well as businesses across the nation. This is Platform’s first location in Pennsylvania, further expanding its reach in the Northeast marketplace.

Keystone Advisors has maintained its success and longevity in the community because of its dedication to high standards, seasoned tax expertise, and quality work ethic and product. They specialize in preparing useful financial reports, referencing industry benchmarks as a tool to help guide business owners to long-term success, including in the Construction, Dentistry, Healthcare, Law Firms, Manufacturing, Restaurant, Veterinarian and Real Estate sectors.

“Our mission, as a successful accounting firm and trusted advisor, is to provide clients with high-quality professional accounting services that empower them to make informed financial decisions to achieve their business goals,” said Bill Heckman, partner at Keystone Advisor Group. “We are excited to offer Platform’s resources to our employees and clients.”

“By joining forces with Platform Accounting Group, we are positioning ourselves to better serve our clients, expand our capabilities, and create new opportunities for our valuable team. We look forward to building upon what we have built over the last 30 years and what the future holds as we combine our strengths and resources to create a stronger, more innovative firm,” added Dave Laudeman, partner at Keystone Advisor Group.

Platform Accounting Group has more than doubled in size every year over the last seven years, has nearly 1,000 employees across 16 states, and has a market-leading low turnover rate. While employees still enjoy the benefits of being part of a local firm embedded in a community, they gain access to a much broader range of growth opportunities and resources. Platform is continually building out an ecosystem to provide collaborative, best-in-class professional services from tax to wealth management, ERP consulting, business accounting services and more.
