Doeren Mayhew, a national assurance, tax and advisory firm, has established a strategic partnership with West Michigan CPA (WMCPA) to enhance service delivery and expand resources for WMCPA’s clients in the region. 

Led by its founder Mark Verstraete, WMCPA has served clients in West Michigan for over 25 years, providing a full range of tax and accounting services to local businesses and individuals from its Grand Haven office.

“We’re excited to partner with Mark and his team,” says Joshua Garvey, West Michigan’s managing principal at Doeren Mayhew Advisors, LLC. “West Michigan CPA has built meaningful, community-based relationships with clients, which makes this a natural fit. We are eager to continue building upon his legacy and have the opportunity to serve more local businesses.”

Through this collaboration, WMCPA’s clients will gain access to Doeren Mayhew’s broader suite of services, specialized expertise and deeper strength of resources, while continuing to receive personalized attention from Doeren Mayhew’s existing Grand Haven team. The strategic alliance also supports Verstraete’s transition into retirement, ensuring continuity of services for WMCPA’s clients for years to come.

“My priority was ensuring the only change our clients experience was an expansion of the high-quality services they’ve come to know and trust with us. Based on Doeren Mayhew’s strong relationships in the community and proven results, it was clear they were the right partner for both our firm and our clients. I’m confident that I’ve placed my trust in the right team that will continue to guide our clients toward long-term success.”

Today, Doeren Mayhew is recognized as the 46th largest CPA and advisory firm in the nation and the 8th largest CPA firm in Michigan with 475 local team members. This collaboration supports Doeren Mayhew’s continued expansion of its regional West Michigan presence, a key area of focus for the firm in recent years.
