President of Sorren. “By coming together as Sorren, we’re strengthening our ability to meet those challenges with
deeper expertise, expanded services, and smarter solutions — all while staying rooted here in the North Bay.”

can provide.
• Greater investment in innovation, technology, and tools that help clients make better decisions, faster.
• A stronger platform for collaboration, enabling North Bay Area businesses to tap into resources and
relationships across the country and around the globe.
The name Sorren blends the meanings of “master of craft” and “coming together as one” — a reflection of the shared
values and collaborative spirit that brought these firms together.

said Joshua Moore, Office Partner-In-Charge. “This isn’t just about growth for growth’s sake – it’s about combining
our strengths to deliver smarter solutions, deeper insights, and more strategic guidance, all without sacrificing the
local relationships and personal service that our firm is built upon. Businesses today need more than compliance —
they need strategy, insight, and a forward-looking partner. With Sorren, we’re doubling down on our ability to bring
that to the table, while continuing to serve our community with the same care and commitment we always have.”
