LANCASTER, PA — Trout CPA has strengthened its valuation and complex financial reporting capabilities with the addition of Daniel Pavlovic as director of business valuation, a move aimed at supporting growing middle-market clients navigating increasingly sophisticated transactions and reporting demands.
Pavlovic, a Chartered Financial Analyst, joins Trout CPA with experience from national and global firms including KPMG and RSM, where he led complex valuation engagements tied to mergers and acquisitions, audits, strategic initiatives, and financial reporting across industries such as technology, manufacturing, and industrials.
At Trout CPA, Pavlovic will work closely with Michael Wolfe, partner in business valuation, to expand the firm’s ability to deliver advanced valuation services while maintaining its hands-on, client-focused approach. Firm leaders said the hire allows Trout CPA to pair big-firm technical rigor with the flexibility and responsiveness of a growing advisory practice.
Managing Partner Todd Harrington said Pavlovic’s background positions the firm to meet the needs of clients whose size, geographic reach, and reporting complexity continue to expand, without sacrificing the personalized service model the firm is known for.
In his new role, Pavlovic will support and grow service lines related to business valuation, mergers and acquisitions, purchase price allocations, impairment testing, and other high-level financial reporting matters. The firm said his addition aligns with a broader strategy to serve clients through growth phases, transactions, and evolving regulatory requirements.
Pavlovic said Trout CPA’s blend of technical excellence and practical, client-centered culture drew him to the firm, calling it an opportunity to deliver sophisticated valuation work in a more tailored and relationship-driven environment.
Wolfe said Pavlovic’s technical depth and collaborative style strengthen the firm’s existing valuation practice and open new opportunities to support clients as they scale.
Trout CPA said the hire reflects continued investment in senior-level talent as the firm positions itself for long-term growth in the middle market and beyond.
