Strategic Acquisition Horwich Coleman Levin was acquired by Wipfli LLP in February 2017, signaling potential access to Wipfli’s broader corporate resources, cross-sell opportunities across audit, tax, and advisory services, and integration pathways for clients seeking scalable solutions.

Cross-sell Potential Post-acquisition, the combined firm offers services beyond HCL’s scope, including technology consulting and strategic planning, creating opportunities to introduce Wipfli’s IT, cloud, and ERP solutions to HCL clients and vice versa.

Tech Stack Alignment HCL’s tech footprint ( Docker, CircleCI, Grafana, Procore, ADP, Microsoft Active Directory, 6sense) aligns with Wipfli’s technology consulting practice, enabling targeted upsell of modernization, DevOps, cybersecurity, and data analytics services to improve client outcomes.

Growth Momentum Wipfli’s recent revenue growth and recognition (NetSuite implementation awards, leadership promotions, and expansion activities) indicate a healthy platform for joint go-to-market campaigns and expanded services to current HCL clients.

SMB and Niche Focus With a small team size at HCL (2-10 employees) and Wipfli’s scale, there is an opportunity to target mid-market to small business segments with bundled services, leveraging Wipfli’s breadth for scalable solutions while maintaining personalized delivery.
