BUSINESS NOTES

Squar Milner LLP announced late last month that it has added a real

estate services division.

The Newport Beach-based company provides accounting and other financial

services.

Jeffrey Leckich will run the day-to-day operations of the new division,

said Stephen Milner, managing partner of the firm.

“Our firm has a number of people on board who have worked with those in

the real estate industry over the years,” Milner said. “So it makes

perfect sense for us to add a completely new division devoted to handling

all our real estate clients’ needs.”

Joining Leckich will be Jim Bone, who will handle tax issues; Michael

Campbell, who will focus on joint venture agreements; and Jennifer Hegg,

who will work on property management.

Squar Milner has added more than 30 people to its staff during the last

year and nearly doubled its number of clients.
