Rea & Associates Settles In To New Home

25 January, 2007

MENTOR, Ohio -- Rea & Associates, Inc. (formerly Lynch, Anselmo, Ott, Bryan + Company), a regional accounting and business consulting firm, has moved its Lake County branch from Willoughby Hills to Mentor.

"We enjoyed our 16-year tenure in Willoughby Hills, however, due to the recent expansion by the Cleveland Clinic, who we shared our former building with, we were unable to renew our lease," said Ed Ott, principal with Rea & Associates and former LAOB shareholder. "Lake County has been very good to us and we wanted to stay local, which is why we chose Mentor."

The firm, whose offices were formerly located at 2550 SOM Center Road in Willoughby Hills, is open for business at 7325 Production Drive, Suite C in Mentor. The move took place Jan. 15, 2007.

"This new location gives us room to grow," said Ryan Dumermuth, CPA, CFP, Rea director and office manager of the firm's Mentor branch. "We expect to add several new professionals to our staff as we continue to expand in and around the Lake County market."

Rea merged with Lynch, Anselmo, Ott, Bryan + Company on Nov. 1, 2006.
