M&A Growth SSH joined Citrin Cooperman in July 2022 to establish a Midwest footprint, signaling potential cross-sell opportunities with a larger regional platform and access to expanded services for existing clients.

Midwest Expansion As a Chicago-based firm that became part of a national network, SSH provides an entry point for Citrin Cooperman to deepen market penetration in the Midwest and upsell to clients requiring broader national capabilities.

Tech Stack Use SSH’s adoption of tools like CCH Axcess, GoFileRoom, and a digital presence (LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook) suggests opportunities to streamline clients’ cloud-based accounting, tax, and workflow solutions for efficiency and remote collaboration.

Growth Readiness With revenue in the $10M–$25M range and a 11–50 employee base, SSH represents a mid-market target for scalable services such as advisory, cybersecurity, outsourcing, and ERP/financial systems optimization for growing firms.

Brand Prestige SSH’s recognition as a Top 10 Best Accounting Firm in Chicago and its integration into a well-known CPAs network provides a credible platform for cross-sell to affluent local clients seeking assurance and multi-disciplinary expertise.
