Marcum LLP has finalized the sale of its remaining stake in its Asia operations, marking a complete withdrawal from the region’s market. This strategic exit follows the firm’s earlier partnership with CBIZ Inc., which was originally designed to bolster Marcum’s presence and capabilities across key Asian financial hubs. The decision underscores a shift in Marcum’s global strategy, emphasizing a more consolidated focus on domestic markets and selective international engagements.

The transaction, valued at approximately $45 million, transfers full operational control to CBIZ, which plans to integrate the Asia services into its broader consulting framework. Key highlights of the deal include:

  • 100% stake acquisition by CBIZ
  • Transition of over 120 employees to CBIZ
  • Expansion of CBIZ’s footprint in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Shanghai
