True Partners Consulting Acquires Affinity Tax Group

True Partners Consulting LLC (TPC), the fastest growing tax consulting firm in the nation, announced today that it has purchased Affinity Tax Group LLC, a New York-based firm. This move expands TPC's strong ASC 740 (formerly FAS 109/FIN 48), tax compliance and state tax service lines. ASC 740 is the set of rules governing how companies report the impact of income taxes on their financial statements.

"The Affinity team brings knowledge and experience in important and complex areas of tax consulting," said Cary McMillan, the firm's Chief Executive Officer. "Adding this expertise to our growing New York practice will provide clients the critical support needed during the upcoming tax season."
The move follows True Partners Consulting's other expansion efforts during the previous 18 months. During that time, the Chicago-based firm has added offices in Manhattan, Dallas and Denver.

Similar to TPC's New York practice, Affinity has worked with both public and privately held corporations as well as private equity firms. Federal tax issues are handled by Peter Crocco, who, prior to joining Affinity, spent a decade at Big Four accounting firms, including a rotation with the National Tax Office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in its Mergers & Acquisition Tax Group in Washington, D.C. and New York.

Wayne Trumbull heads Affinity's State and Local Tax Practice, providing analysis of state tax implications of proposed business reorganizations, analysis of state tax filing for refunds and prospective favorable filing positions and representing clients in state tax controversy matters. Prior to joining Affinity, Wayne had 10 years of experience in the State and Local Tax Practice in the New York Office of Ernst & Young, LLP. Wayne is a member of the New York and Connecticut Bar.
