Mountjoy & Bressler, L.L.P. Enters into Three-Year Sponsorship Agreement with the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers (KAM)
Frankfort, KY - July 21, 2009- The largest Kentucky-based accounting firm, Mountjoy & Bressler, L.L.P., has entered into a three-year sponsorship agreement with the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers (KAM) to help create and protect a manufacturing friendly environment in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, according to Jim LeMaster, President & CEO of KAM.
KAM is the only statewide business association that exclusively fights for Kentucky manufacturers, which contribute $29 Billion or 18 percent of the state's gross domestic product, more than twice that of each of the next two commercial segments, healthcare and real estate.
As part of the three year sponsorship agreement, Mountjoy & Bressler has become "The Official CPA Firm of the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers". Mountjoy & Bressler is also now "An Official Sponsor of KAM's FreedomKentuckysm Branded Initiative" which is designed to help free manufacturers from high taxes, regulations and other constraints that prevent them from winning in the global marketplace.
"KAM is very excited to have Mountjoy & Bressler as its newest major sponsor due to their longstanding commitment and involvement in supporting manufacturing's value as Kentucky's number one economic driver," said Jim LeMaster, President & CEO of KAM. "Mountjoy and Bressler will be a great asset to KAM as we stand together with our members, sponsors and affinity partners to fight for all Kentucky manufacturers."
"We have served manufacturers since 1980 but with the recent challenges of the market our clients need us in a increasingly strategic role to assist them through difficult challenges," said Mike Mountjoy, CPA, ABV. "We felt it was a natural decision for us to step up in support of KAM as they push for legislation and changes that will ensure the viability of our clients. We look forward to being a part of the progress for our clients and the Commonwealth."
"This sponsorship agreement between two of Kentucky's leading business institutions is a perfect marriage," said LeMaster. "Mountjoy & Bressler has a great reputation as a Certified Public Accounting firm and has provided high quality accounting and other business services to Kentucky manufacturers for many years."
Mountjoy & Bressler has four offices in Kentucky including Louisville, Lexington, Covington and Frankfort. Their manufacturing practice includes traditional accounting, auditing and tax services as well as specialized business valuation, information technology, tax credit and fraud/risk management services.
