PKF O’Connor Davies Announces Key New Hires in Risk Advisory Group
New York, NY (PRWEB) March 30, 2016 -- PKF O’Connor Davies, LLP, one of the nation’s fastest growing accounting and advisory firms, announced today that it has named Lawrence Baye a Principal and John Madden a Director of the Firm’s risk advisory practice. These latest hires reinforce the Firm’s commitment to recruiting top industry and practice experts as part of the Firm’s ongoing growth initiative which has added more than 150 associates in the last two years.
“We’re continuing to see a growing need for risk advisory from our clients and businesses in general. We’re building out our team to stay ahead of that need,” said Kevin J. Keane, Managing Partner. “John and Larry bring a broad range of expertise across all areas of risk. Additionally, they have demonstrated a dedication to providing value beyond the numbers further enabling us to offer the highest level of service to our clients.”
Lawrence Baye was the longest tenured member of the advisory services practice at a Global Six CPA firm where he launched and directed the Northeast Region’s Sarbanes-Oxley practice, which evolved into the Governance, Risk and Compliance group and helped drive robust revenue growth in the Business Advisory Services group. He also has provided management consulting services in the areas of performance improvement and information technology to public companies, private businesses, not-for-profits and New York State government agencies. He is a regular speaker at industry forums and a committed educator who has held adjunct teaching positions at several distinguished academic institutions.
John Madden joins PKF O’Connor Davies after spearheading a successful overhaul of one of the country’s largest hotel chain’s vulnerability management and cybersecurity protections. His industry experience in managing technological threats gives him a deep expertise in identifying and mitigating risks.
Along with PKF O’Connor Davies’ commitment to expanding its risk advisory group with top tier new hires, the full-service firm is growing significantly in other areas as well, now with 10 offices in four states and recent mergers and acquisitions in the Northeast and Washington, D.C. area.
