Marcum LLP forms MarcumBuchanan Associates, LLC

As a result of strategic growth, Marcum LLP, one of the largest independent public accounting and advisory services firms in the nation has formed MarcumBuchanan Associates LLC, a financial and regulatory compliance outsourcing firm. The new entity is comprised of former employees from Buchanan Associates LLC, a recognized expert in financial industry regulations and compliance and will operate under the umbrella of The Marcum Group, a multifaceted professional services organization.
