NAPERVILLE - Professional services firm Sikich LLP said it will acquire Alexandria, Virginia-based public accounting firm Halt, Buzas & Powell, Ltd.

Terms of the acquisition were not announced. The deal marks Sikich's entry into the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore markets and expands its presence on the East Coast.

HBP offers audit and assurance, business consulting, outsourced accounting, tax, and information technology services to business across industries. The firm specializes in working with not-for-profit organizations and government contractors.

Approximately 50 HBP employees will join Sikich and continue to work in offices in Alexandria, Virginia, and Crofton, Maryland. Powell and Marco Fernandes will join Sikich as partners.

The transaction is scheduled to close on Dec. 31.
