CHICAGO - April 27, 2015 - PRLog -- McGladrey LLP, the nation's leading provider of assurance, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, announced today that it has reached an agreement in principle to acquire substantially all the assets of Bay area firm PKF San Francisco and St. Louis-based Wolfe Nilges Nahorski (WNN).
