Albin, Randall & Bennett (ARB), an accounting and business advisory practice based in the US, has promoted Matthew S. Marcoullier and Samantha J. Pedersen to the role of principal.

Together, Marcoullier and Pedersen have accumulated 35 years of service at the company.

Marcoullier joined ARB in 2013. He focuses on accounting, tax, consulting and advisory work for auto dealerships and commercial businesses across New England.

His work includes tax planning, addressing operational issues, organisational planning, compensation strategies and compliance.

Within ARB, Marcoullier oversees annual dealership last in, first out (LIFO) calculations and contributes to the development of training and technical resources that support the company's specialist knowledge.

Pedersen has been with ARB since 2004 and has spent more than two decades working with clients on complex accounting and business issues.

She provides attest and advisory services to manufacturers, credit unions and commercial entities, and serves as an adviser to organisations and individuals throughout Maine.

Pedersen heads the company's Learning & Development Programme, coordinates Financial Accounting Standards Board update training and implementation, and acts as internal inspections lead for ARB's Quality Management Programme.

In their new roles as principals, Pedersen and Marcoullier will remain involved in shaping the company's direction while continuing to provide guidance to clients.

ARB managing partner Laura T. Everett said: "One of the most rewarding parts of being at ARB is watching people build long, successful careers here.

"I have watched Matt and Sam grow into outstanding leaders over the years.

"They have earned the respect of our clients and team through their technical strengths, hard work and genuine commitment to helping those around them succeed."

Headquartered in Portland, Maine, ARB works with clients across New England in sectors including automotive, construction, manufacturing, credit unions and other commercial businesses. It also works with closely held companies and family groups.
