COLUMBUS, OH – Effective July 1, 2025, Nick D. Lombardo, Shareholder, is transitioning into the role of leader for Schneider Downs’ Business Advisory practice within the Firm’s Consulting Practice. He will coordinate this transition with Schneider Downs Consulting Practice Unit Leader Adam Goode, who previously served as leader of the Business Advisory practice.
The Firm’s rapidly growing Business Advisory practice provides a broad spectrum of strategic and specialty services, including transaction advisory, fraud and forensic accounting, litigation support, business valuation, and managed. Practice growth in Fiscal Year 2025 exceeded ten percent and is projecting continued growth for FY26.
