ERCPA Announces Acquisition of HTSG CPAs + Advisors
Elliott, Robinson & Company, LLP (ERCPA), one of southwest Missouri’s largest locally owned accounting and advisory firms, is pleased to announce the acquisition of HTSG CPAs + ADVISORS, effective November 1, 2025.
The acquisition marks a key milestone in both firms’ commitment to providing exceptional client service and deepening the resources available to individuals and businesses across the region. The transition is part of HTSG’s long-term business succession strategy, ensuring continuity, stability, and the same personalized service that clients have come to expect.
“We are honored to welcome the HTSG team to Elliott, Robinson & Company,” said Matthew Solidum, CPA, Managing Partner of ERCPA. “Their firm’s values, reputation for excellence, and dedication to clients align perfectly with our own. This partnership reflects our shared vision of growth through integrity, collaboration, and exceptional service.”
While the HTSG name will transition under Elliott, Robinson & Company, all current staff members are being retained in their existing roles, and clients will continue working with the same professionals they know and trust. Services will continue uninterrupted and with the same commitment to quality and care.
Leadership Transition
As part of this acquisition, Stephen R. Gintz, CPA, will join the Partner Group at Elliott, Robinson & Company. Beginning in 2026, Donald L. Hagan, CPA, CFP, and Leilani L. Hagan, MBA, CPA, will begin a phased transition toward retirement.
“Partnering with Elliott, Robinson & Company allows us to continue offering the same trusted service our clients rely on, while expanding the resources and expertise available to them,” said Stephen Gintz, CPA, Partner at HTSG. “This decision was made with our clients’ long-term success in mind.”
Shared Values, Shared Future
Since its 2016 merger of O’Dell, Hagan & Company, LLP, and Tucker & Company, PC, HTSG has grown through the trust and referrals of its clients. This new affiliation with Elliott, Robinson & Company builds upon that foundation, expanding capabilities while preserving the personal approach that defines both firms.
Looking ahead, Elliott, Robinson & Company remains guided by its vision — to be the most trusted partner, promoting growth and creating lasting value for clients and employees alike. This partnership with HTSG reinforces that commitment and exemplifies the firm’s seven core values: pursuing continuous improvement; upholding trust, honesty, and integrity; fostering teamwork; leading with expertise and precision; expecting accountability at all levels; prioritizing efficiency and productivity; and committing to quality and excellence.
Together, these shared principles will drive the next chapter of ERCPA’s growth — one focused on advancing client success, empowering employees, and strengthening the communities we serve.
