Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP (DHG),  a U.S. top 20 professional services firm, is pleased to announce the professionals of Burkhart & Company, P.C. will join DHG effective September 1, 2021. Burkhart & Company’s 20-person team, located in Knoxville, Tenn., diversifies and strengthens DHG’s service offerings by adding Family Office services to the firm’s offerings.  Family Office provides full-service professional management and personal CFO capabilities for affluent families encompassing multi-generations.

“In addition to building valuable careers with all of our people, our mission is to help our clients achieve their goals. The integration with Burkhart & Company and the addition of the Family Office service offering, enables us to further fulfill our mission and support our current and prospective clients’ strategic goals,” commented Matt Snow, DHG’s Chief Executive Officer. “We are proud to welcome the Burkhart & Company team and clients to DHG and continue to expand our growing presence in the Tennessee Market.”

Burkhart & Company has been working with families for more than 30 years to provide services that include tax compliance, strategy formation, back-office services and family finance. One of the unique offerings is a platform for high-net-worth families that is called Virtual Family Office.  This offering facilitates the benefits of a single-family office without the high cost of creating and managing one.

“We view this integration as a step forward in our evolution and truly believe it will broaden and deepen our offerings with greater resources, such as tax specialty services and IT solutions. We remain committed to providing an excellent client experience as well as the confidentiality and security our clients entrust in us,” said Renda Burkhart, President of Burkhart & Co. “DHG’s future focus, technical knowledge and commitment to client service are among the reasons why we look forward to joining forces.  We also see great opportunities for enhanced career growth and development for our valued team members.”

The Burkhart & Company office location will become the DHG Knoxville office and will remain in the Riverview Tower in Knoxville, Tenn.
