Fenner, Melstrom & Dooling move to downtown Birmingham

Fenner, Melstrom & Dooling is returning to its urban roots, moving its headquarters from Auburn Hills to downtown Birmingham.

"We think it's a dynamic financial area," says Brian Hunter, partner with Fenner, Melstrom & Dooling. "It's accessible to a lot of private equity firms, bankers, and attorneys."

The regional CPA and tax consulting firm got its start in Detroit in 1950 before moving to Rochester and eventually Auburn Hills. It will now move its 25 CPAs and five support staff to one of the poshest urban centers in Michigan.

And Fenner, Melstrom & Dooling plans to grow there for the foreseeable future. It added 4-5 positions last year and expects to continue hiring this year. It's renovating about 14,000 square feet of space in a building at 355 South Old Woodward.
