CLEVELAND, OHIO, UNITED STATES, July 10, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pease & Associates, CPAs (Pease), a premier Cleveland-based CPA firm serving Cleveland, New York, New Jersey, and California clients for the past 20 years, has announced the appointment of Kuno Bell, CPA, J.D., to Managing Partner of the organization, made effective on June 1, 2019. Current Managing Partner, Chairman and Founder, Joe Pease, will step out of the role and onto the Executive Board but will remain Chairman.

Bell currently directs the Tax Department at Pease, and has led the team’s extraordinary growth efforts in that area.

“We are excited to have Kuno assume the role of managing partner, and continue the memo-rable journey we began decades ago ,” said Pease. “Kuno aspired to be in this role from the time of his interview way back as an intern, and now it has become a reality. We wish him well and look forward to the impact his leadership will have on our business,” said Pease.

Pease, 62, felt the time was right to hand over the reins to the next generation. Under his lead-ership, the firm was showcased for success at CPAmerica, one of the largest associations of in-dependent accounting firms in the world.
