“We are excited for RBF to join the Brown Plus team. They have a track record of client success, but more than that, they share the same values that we do as a Firm,” said Ken Wolfe, President and Managing Principal at Brown Plus. “For us, this is a strategic acquisition to help us grow in the Lancaster market, strengthening our presence in the region while aligning with a firm that believes in caring for their people in the same way that we do.”

After enjoying over 40 years of serving clients and the Lancaster community, Jeffrey Bleacher will be retiring to begin his next adventure. During his time with RBF, including 17 years as Managing Partner, Bleacher has navigated the rapid pace of change in the accounting industry, as well as major shifts in technology and the increasing complexity of the regulatory environment. He leaves a legacy of success and has built a foundation for RBF to continue forward in the future as a part of Brown Plus.
