Plante Moran is excited to announce that George Bloomfield from its Columbus office, Alex Engebretson from its Ann Arbor office and Kimberly Deyak from its Macomb office have all received the Elijah Watt Sells Award for their exceptional performance on the Certified Public Accountant, or CPA, examination.

The award, which is given by the American Institute of CPAs, is bestowed upon candidates who have obtained a cumulative average score above 95.50 across all four sections of the CPA exam, passed all four sections of the exam on their first attempt, and completed testing in 2015. Only 75 of the 93,742 individuals who sat for the exam in 2015 received this prestigious award.

The Elijah Watt Sells Award program was established by the AICPA in 1923 — Bloomfield, Engebretson and Deyak are three of eight staff members in Plante Moran’s history to receive this honor.
