Inner Circle Advisors Increases Investment in Cleveland with New Office Space, Opened March 1st: Brand Repositioning Leads to Expanded Servi

CLEVELAND (Business Wire EON) March 4, 2008 -- This move comes after the October 1, 2007 transition from the former accounting and tax firm, Konsen & Hostelley, LLP, to the new identity, Inner Circle Advisors. Managing Director, Gregory D. Hostelley, comments, "We repositioned the brand to more accurately reflect the breadth of services we provide to our clients, many of whom view us as their primary business advisor. Through Inner Circle Advisors, we assist our clients to define and meet their business goals, ultimately leading to greater personal confidence and satisfaction."

"We are celebrating our 25th anniversary of successfully doing business in the Cleveland area, and remain committed to the region. We see numerous opportunities in the current economic environment to help small and mid-sized businesses thrive here. Now, more than ever, these firms can use the guidance and advice we have to offer to them. Our expansion reflects this intention."

The firm serves as a central source of resources for owner-managed businesses. Solutions are made easily available to busy entrepreneurs in part through a carefully selected and coordinated network of Inner Circle affiliates, including the firms of Insurance Systems Group, Inc. (formerly located in Brecksville) and the Di Biase Law Firm, LLC. The offices of these affiliates will now be located within the expanded Inner Circle Advisors complex.

The office suite also includes a comfortable and relaxed gathering area called "The Parlor," designed to foster informal conversations and enhance creativity.

The new office space will also be a valuable business hub for Inner Circle Advisor's clientele. Entrepreneur's who might not otherwise have access to high-tech video conferencing equipment may now enjoy the expanded group conferencing facility where they can easily connect anywhere in the world on an IP-based video conferencing system. The room features a 52" video display screen connected to a network of over 3,000 public conference rooms, giving smaller businesses the global reach normally available only to larger enterprises.

Mr. Hostelley notes, "With the increased cost and frustration of travel, the market is becoming increasingly dependent upon video conferencing for business interaction. Not only does it dramatically reduce cost and time compared to traveling, but it can also serve other needs, such as giving attorneys the ability to take depositions without physically going to the courthouse. This is what Inner Circle Advisors is all about - savings like this reduce stress and enhance time management and productivity, which is a smart step for any business."
