Two local accounting firms, one Savannah-based the other with offices in Savannah, Dublin and Atlanta, have announced their merger.
Skinner, Barndollar & Lane P.C. will become part of TJS Deemer Dana LLP on Jan. 1, and the announcement said partners and staff already have begun work on integrating the two firms.
The Savannah office will have seven partners and more than 30 staff members and will operate as TJS Deemer Dana LLP. Skinner, Barndollar partners Michael W. Skinner, Gail M. Barndollar and Becky L. Lane will join the TJS Deemer Dana LLP partner group.
“We view this merger as a significant benefit for our clients and our team,” Skinner said. “Combining our resources, offices and knowledge base is a tremendous win for our clients.”

TJS Deemer Dana managing partner Tracy Sharkey said her firm is pleased to expand their Savannah team.
“This is a win-win for both firms. The expertise and depth of knowledge of the partners and staff at Skinner, Barndollar & Lane will be a tremendous asset to our firm,” Sharkey said. “We are honored to have such a strong and well known firm become a part of our team.”
