CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Addison Group, a leading professional services firm, announced today the acquisition of Bridgepoint Consulting, a Texas-based management consulting firm that delivers a broad range of financial operations, risk/compliance and technology services to support companies throughout their business lifecycle.
The acquisition strengthens Addison Group’s presence in several high-growth Texas markets, anchored by a tenured leadership team with deep industry expertise and business relationships.
