WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Joseph Kask has been elected by the partners of BlumShapiro as the firm’s new managing partner, effective Jan. 1.
Kask will succeed Carl Johnson, who has served as managing partner for the past 14 years. Johnson will become chief operating officer, focusing on internal operations and talent acquisition.
In 2007, Kask began working for BlumShapiro, through the merger with Scully & Wolf LLP, a public sector accounting and tax firm located in Glastonbury, Conn.
Kask has been serving as the leader of the firm’s government services group and as office managing partner of the West Hartford office. He also serves on several of the firm’s strategic leadership committees including two terms on the firm’s executive committee.
“We are excited about this transition and the positive impact it will have on our clients and our firm. Joe brings a new energy and vision for our firm’s future. This, coupled with his dynamic leadership skills, provides us with the confidence that we will be even better positioned to serve your needs in the future,” according to information from BlumShapiro.
Under Johnson’s leadership, the firm said it has grown from 125 people in one location to the largest accounting, tax and business advisory firm in New England, with 429 employees in six offices throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Kask and Johnson have been working together over the past few weeks to ensure a smooth transition, the firm said.
