Our Southwest Ohio Roots

70 Years Is Just The Beginning

In 2012, GBQ opened an office in Cincinnati to house the firm’s Forensic & Dispute Advisory team. In 2013, the Cincinnati office expanded to accommodate personnel from the State & Local Tax & Advisory team. In 2016, GBQ combined with Ernst & Rabe and eventually moved to a new location on Smith Road in 2017. In December 2024, the fast-growing firm acquired another Cincinnati CPA firm, Wirth Lowe Wissemeier. The growing office continues to see clients at its Smith Road location.

GBQ's Cincinnati team provides assurance, tax, and advisory services to clients in various industries. Additionally, the office has been repeatedly recognized as a "Best Places to Work" by the Cincinnati Business Courier.
