Patterson & Company CPAs, PLLC has officially joined Abacus!, a regional accounting and advisory firm recognized for its people-focused approach and commitment to better guidance. As part of this transition, the Patterson & Company team fully rebranded as Abacus!, continuing to serve clients from its Louisville office with the same trusted professionals, now backed by the national strength of Abacus! and the Crete Professionals Alliance.

This move marks the eighth office location for Abacus! and its second out-of-state expansion. In addition to joining Abacus!, the Louisville team now becomes part of the Crete Professionals Alliance, a collaborative network of firms that share resources, talent, and innovative solutions to better serve clients nationwide.

The two firms share a common focus on client relationships, community involvement, and professional excellence. Patterson & Company has long been recognized for its service to small businesses and franchise owners in Louisville, and that focus will continue under the Abacus! name.

According to Bob Patterson, Owner and Partner of Patterson & Company CPAs, the alignment between the two firms made this transition a clear step forward. “Teaming up with Abacus! brings new opportunities to grow and serve clients at an even higher level. The shared values and commitment to excellence made this partnership a natural fit,” said Patterson.

Abacus! Managing Partner William A. “Bill” Dunton added, “The Patterson team brings deep expertise and strong relationships in the Louisville market. Welcoming them to Abacus! strengthens our presence and enables us to better serve clients across the region.”

The rebranding of Patterson & Company CPAs under the Abacus! name will not affect the existing team or client relationships. Clients can expect the same level of service and personal attention, now with access to a broader network of professionals and expanded service offerings.

With this partnership, Abacus! continues its mission of delivering better guidance and smarter decisions, now with a stronger presence in the Louisville market.

Abacus! is a full-service accounting and advisory firm that believes clients and employees deserve to work in an environment that fosters growth, trust, and confidence. With eight office locations and a growing national footprint, Abacus! professionals are committed to providing leadership and delivering the best guidance possible so clients can make smarter decisions.
