Doeren Mayhew Celebrates 75 Years

A Message From Mark Crawford, Managing Director

Celebrating the Past

This year marks the 75th anniversary of Doeren Mayhew. Originally founded in 1932, Doeren Mayhew has grown from its humble beginnings in Grosse Pointe Park to become one the nation’s leading certified public accounting and consulting firms. Even Karl Doeren and Bruce Mayhew might have hesitated to predict that their life’s work — and names — would become nationally and internationally recognized as trusted business advisors to thousands of individuals and businesses throughout North America and around the world.

Since relocating to Troy in 1979, Doeren Mayhew has achieved tremendous success, placing us within the 50 largest firms in the U.S. — always with a strong focus on serving our clients with integrity and quality.

Our approach to maintaining a single office and keeping our talent consolidated in one efficient location has created the 4th largest single-office firm in the nation.

Our profession has recognized the quality of the firm, and for the eleventh consecutive year Inside Public Accounting has awarded Doeren Mayhew with its “Best of the Best” rating, which ranks the nation’s top 25 firms based on fiscal management and performance. No other firm in Michigan has ever achieved this honor and no other firm in the nation has been on the list longer than Doeren Mayhew.

Additionally, as an independent founding member of the international association Moore Stephens International, we have access to resources in virtually every major city in the U.S. and in 95 countries around the globe.

Focused on the Future

While we fondly remember the past, it is with great enthusiasm and anticipation that we look to the future.

Our Community. In commemoration of this important milestone, Doeren Mayhew has set in place several ongoing programs with the focus on giving back to the community, which has been very supportive of us over the years.

Included in these programs is a philanthropy program to encourage all of our directors and staff to become involved in community charities, and a gifting program to several Michigan universities that helped shape the directors and professionals who are the backbone of this firm.

Our Employees. In appreciation of our employees, the directors of Doeren Mayhew have implemented a new program to recognize and incentify our long-term employees at every five-year anniversary.

Our Clients. Over the course of our 75-year history, Doeren Mayhew has proudly served individuals, manufacturers, schools, contractors, distributors, financial institutions, and just about every industry in between. We sincerely value every one of our clients and realize your importance to the success of our firm. Your patronage and referrals over the years are greatly appreciated.

Looking to the future, we are committed to strengthening and growing the services and capabilities that you have come to know and expect from Doeren Mayhew — always with the goal of delivering the widest range of business tools to keep you ahead of the curve.

Thank you to all who have made these years more rewarding than any of us could have ever imagined. Please join with us in celebrating the last 75 years and in looking forward to many more years of continued growth and success.
