Accounting and business advisory firm Bober Markey Fedorovich (BMF) has elevated Kristian Barr and Michael Bigler from senior managers to directors in the Assurance and Advisory Department of its Northeast Ohio team.
Barr, who has been with BMF for several years, specialises in the nonprofit industry as well as client accounting and advisory services (CAAS).
Barr is known for his deep knowledge of nonprofit financial reporting, grant compliance, and audit processes. His expertise also extends to the for-profit sector, where he offers financial forecasting, internal control assessments, and acquisition due diligence.
