Abbott, Stringham and Lynch (ASL), a Silicon Valley-based Certified public accountant (CPA) services firm has appointed Deepa Bhat as its managing partner.
Bhat joined ASL in 2004 as an assurance staff accountant and recently served as the firm’s in-charge principal of the assurance group.
According to a release by the firm, Bhat serves privately held clients in the technology, international and construction industries and helps them navigate complex and unique accounting issues encountered in their domestic as well as international operations.
In addition, she leads the ASL Construction Group and the employee benefit plan audit practice.
Reacting to her appointment, Bhat said, “I am excited to take on this new role as Managing Partner and continue driving the firm’s culture of engagement and innovation, while providing training and leadership development for our staff, ultimately contributing to the financial well-being of our clients.”
“I’ve seen the firm grow significantly since my start as an Assurance Staff Accountant and am looking forward to being a part of ASL’s continued growth,” she added.
Bhat succeeded Carol Wagner, a certified public accountant (CPA) who served in the role since 2020. She is ASL’s seventh managing partner since the firm’s inception in 1977, and the third woman managing partner.
“I am pleased to welcome Deepa Bhat as Managing Partner. Her leadership, client focus and ability to drive the success of the firm will only continue to advance ASL,” said Carol.
In 2016, Bhat was awarded the CalCPA’s women to watch emerging leader award, which celebrates outstanding women in the profession who have made significant contributions through personal growth and the leadership development of their colleagues.
ASL works with emerging- and middle-market privately held businesses to help them thrive in their markets.
