BKD LLP, a Springfield, Mo.-based national accounting and advisory firm, announced today that regional accounting firm Kiesling Associates LLP will join BKD, effective Dec. 4. Both firms have offices in West Des Moines. Kiesling, which has personnel in Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and Wisconsin, will join BKD’s North Region, which is led by Regional Managing Partner Barry Davis. Kiesling combines full-service capabilities with deep industry knowledge in the telecommunications industry. “This is truly a win-win for both firms,” Davis said. “The combination strengthens BKD’s presence throughout the Midwest and provides Kiesling with additional resources for existing clients as well as enhanced growth opportunities beyond their current niche practice.” With the addition of Kiesling, BKD will have 35 offices in 16 states, approximately 2,600 personnel including more than 270 partners, and more than $550 million in revenue. BKD entered the Iowa market in 2013 with the opening of its West Des Moines office.
