History
McGladrey & Pullen traces its history to 1926, when Ira B. McGladrey started his own accounting firm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The I.B. McGladrey Company was formed when McGladrey purchased a seven-person office from his employers, Billings, Prouty and Tompkins. Shortly after, he added one-man practices in Davenport, Burlington and Iowa City, Iowa. After 10 years of operation, George Hansen and Keith Dunn were admitted as partners, and in 1937 the firm changed its name to McGladrey, Hansen, Dunn & Company.
During the next 40 years, the firm expanded into 29 offices in eight states and in 1966 began offering consulting services. Ira McGladrey, a leader in the public accounting profession at both the state and national levels, stayed active in the firm until his death in 1952.
In November 1978, the firm merged with Broeker Hendrickson & Co. to become McGladrey Hendrickson & Company. Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, Broeker Hendrickson & Company had 16 offices in five states. With the merger in place, McGladrey Hendrickson & Company was able to serve clients throughout the Midwest.
Six years later, the firm merged with A.M. Pullen and Company, based in North Carolina. A.M. Pullen and Company had 26 offices located in seven states along the eastern seaboard. As McGladrey Hendrickson & Pullen, the firm’s offices extended from the east coast to the west coast, north to Duluth, MN, and south to Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
For simplicity’s sake, the firm changed its name to McGladrey & Pullen in 1987.
In the summer of 1999, McGladrey & Pullen sold its non-attest assets and business to H&R Block, Inc. RSM McGladrey Inc. was established as an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of the Block organization. Today, RSM McGladrey provides accounting, tax and business consulting services. To ensure independence, McGladrey & Pullen was maintained as a separate entity offering audit and attest services. McGladrey & Pullen is owned and managed by McGladrey & Pullen partners, independent of RSM McGladrey.
In November 2011, McGladrey & Pullen purchased RSM McGladrey from H&R Block, reuniting the two firms as a leading partner-owned provider of assurance, tax and consulting services with more than 70 offices across the country and nearly 6,500 employees.In May 2012, the firm changed its name to McGladrey LLP, to reflect the firm's reunification and mirror its brand.

Establishing the number of PTO days by level (between 15 and 25 days/year) recognizes differences in responsibilities and rewards employees for advancement with the firm.
