Two New Partners Announced

Mantyla McReynolds, Certified Public Accountants announced the promotion of two new partners, Matt McReynolds and Brian Cheney.

“It is with excitement that we welcome Matt and Brian to the partnership as they have continually exemplified leadership and success,” said Don Mantyla, co-founder and Partner. “They demonstrate the important skills necessary of a partner as they’ve made significant contributions to our clients, communities and our staff”.

Matt McReynolds, CPA has been with Mantyla McReynolds for approximately 12 years. Matt has been heavily involved with companies going public through initial SEC registrations and reverse acquisitions. This requires strict compliance with rules and regulations and Matt has also applied this high level of attention and care to private entities. He has guided companies through numerous technical issues such as convertible debt and equity transactions. Matt worked for Mantyla McReynolds part-time during his master’s and bachelor’s programs from 1999 through 2003. After the master's program, he was recruited and hired by a Big 4 firm as an Audit and Risk Advisory Services Associate. However, after our audit practice started to grow exponentially, we asked Matt to consider coming back in 2004. He agreed, as long as it meant that he could service some amazing public and private companies, which has definitely been the case. As a result of Mantyla McReynolds joining the BDO Seidman Alliance as an independent member, Matt enjoys being involved with a firm that has direct access to extensive national and international resources, while maintaining our local firm autonomy. Matt services publicly traded issuers and privately held companies throughout the United States as well as companies with international operations. Matt has been a very dedicated manager, and we are confident in the success of Mantyla McReynolds with him as a partner.

Brian Cheney, CPA has been with Mantyla McReynolds since 2008. In a short amount of time we've come to realize that new clients investigate and retain our firm not because of what Brian has said about our service and expertise, but because of what his clients have said about him. It's not every day that the CEO and CFO of large public companies will brag to their peers about their auditor, but that is what we've come to experience from Brian's clients. Brian is widely recognized by clients and peers alike for his personable and dedicated client service and outstanding technical knowledge. Brian's clients know this is his passion, and fortunately he's very good at it. While at Mantyla McReynolds, Brian’s clients have successfully completed secondary public offerings aggregating over $500 million. After graduating from Brigham Young University, Brian excelled at a Big 4 accounting firm for 8 years. He joined us in 2008 as a Senior Audit Manager, with the vision of serving his clients with the streamlined efficiencies only a local firm can provide. With the BDO Alliance, he still has the national and international resources immediately available to efficiently respond to each of his client's unique needs. Whether it's working with attorneys and underwriters through a substantial equity raise or guiding a client through the efficient implementation of a financial reporting internal control system, he has consistently exceeded the needs of his clients.
