Local Firm Commemorates Four Decades of Service
PHILADELPHIA, PA – December 17, 2025 – Today, MILLIGAN, a leading provider of assurance and consulting services, reaffirmed its commitment to helping businesses achieve financial transparency and regulatory compliance while celebrating 40 years of service.
Established in 1985, Milligan & Company, LLC began as a full-service certified public accounting firm. Several years into its operations, it established a consulting division, and in early 2020, Milligan Consulting, LLC was created as a distinct entity to provide more dedicated service to clients with consulting needs. Both firms are collectively known as MILLIGAN.
Over the last four decades, MILLIGAN has served as a strategic partner to public sector clients, providing compliance consulting, audit and assurance, and support and technical assistance services. Some of the firm’s notable engagements include a partnership with the federal government to lead and expand a Financial Management Oversight program, work with seven different states and several local agencies to support Federal Grant compliance programs, partnerships with state and federal agencies to provide technical assistance and compliance monitoring, and assisting agencies in more than a dozen states with developing and implementing compliance systems.
Highlights from the last 40 years include:
- Oversight of more than $30 billion in public funds.
- One of the largest minority-owned CPA firms in the U.S.
- Long-standing client relationships spanning more than 20 years.
- Many staff members with a tenure of more than 25 years, reflecting a strong, family-style environment.
- Support of major national initiatives, including World Trade Center recovery, Hurricane Sandy relief, and COVID-19 oversight.
“In today’s dynamic regulatory environment, organizations need more than just compliance; they need strategic guidance to build trust and drive sustainable growth,” said John Milligan, Managing Principal at Milligan. “We are proud to have been a strategic partner to our clients for 40 years, empowering businesses with reliable financial insights. This anniversary is not just a celebration of our longevity, but a testament to the enduring partnerships we share with our communities.”
The firm’s diverse and collaborative team is committed to assisting clients in navigating complex challenges. With a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, the team brings a well-rounded approach, which leads to better solutions for clients.
“What stands out most is MILLIGAN’s ability to conduct a thorough audit with minimal disruption to our day-to-day operations,” said T. Wilson, CFO of Philadelphia Soccer 2026. “Most importantly, they provided actionable insights that helped us improve our internal processes and controls. I highly recommend MILLIGAN to any non-profit organization looking for professionalism, technical excellence, and a partner to improve your company.”
