DMA, the employee-owned corporate tax services firm, bought the assets of Barron Corporate Tax Solutions, a Chicago property-tax advisory shop. The deal adds compliance and valuation-review capacity across manufacturing, retail, hospitality, and utilities clients.
Barron had been running as a standalone firm serving Fortune 100 companies down to mid-size organizations. Its core business is managing property tax processes – compliance support, valuation review, appeals – and keeping clients from overpaying on assessed values. DMA said the acquisition folds that into its existing North American Property Tax practice, which already covers assessment review, audit defense, and strategic advisory.
“Barron brings a strong, client-centric approach that aligns with our service philosophy,” said Dan Hutmacher, DMA’s president and CEO. “This expands our ability to support clients with day-to-day compliance needs while also identifying opportunities to reduce tax exposure.”
