Team NEO announced today that Sikich, a Chicago-based leading global technology-enabled professional services company, plans to create additional new jobs in Northeast Ohio, bolstering its current staff of 125. The Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) approved the project for tax credit assistance during its Ohio Tax Credit Authority meeting today.
The decision for Sikich to expand in Northeast Ohio reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to the region and its clients in the market. The company has consolidated operations into a single facility in the Village of Richfield, creating a strategic hub that will enhance talent recruitment across the Northeast Ohio area.
“Northeast Ohio offers a dynamic environment for us to invest in both talent and innovative solutions,” said Jason Tuma, principal and Northeast Ohio market leader. “Our recent acquisition of Cleveland-based Thornhill Financial demonstrates our commitment to this region, and we look forward to building deeper community connections while creating new opportunities for our people and clients alike.”
The economic development team, consisting of the Greater Akron Chamber, Village of Richfield, JobsOhio, ODOD, and Team NEO worked with Sikich to help secure Northeast Ohio as the ideal location for its growth.
“We are thrilled that Sikich is continuing to invest and expand in the Northeast Ohio Region,” stated Team NEO Project Manager Dan Kennedy. “With 140,000 workers supporting headquarters and professional services, we have the talent available today, as well as the support of our universities to train the workers of tomorrow.”
“Sikich has deep roots in the community that go back to 1986,” stated Gregg Cramer, Vice President of Economic Development at the Greater Akron Chamber. “Their ongoing commitment is a visible vote of confidence in our competitive business climate, quality of life, and talent pipeline. Our region is fortunate to have companies like Sikich that see the benefit of being located here and continue to invest in the region.”
