BKD LLP joins Praxity alliance

Praxity is a joint initiative of former members of accounting group Moores Rowland International, including BKD and advisory organization Mazars, to better meet market expectations and enhance services.

Drawing on international resources, members can augment their depth of knowledge to provide services and information to their clients.

“We are excited about this new opportunity to help our clients operate competitively in the international marketplace,” said John E. Wanamaker, partner in charge of BKD LLP’s southern Missouri Practice Unit, in a news release.

Praxity was organized as a not-for-profit organization under Belgian law and has its administrative center in London. It started out with coverage in more than 65 countries and a combined turnover of approximately $2.4 billion. Membership is selective for Praxity, which has a Web site at www.praxity.com.

The chairman of Praxity is William E. Fingland Jr., managing partner of BKD.

“We want to open up the world market and bring its infinite possibilities to everyone’s advantage,” Fingland said in the release.
