As we assessed our investment strategy to simplify our business model and narrow our focus on our core businesses, we have decided to deepen our focus on our core Technology and Finance & Accounting businesses, both in the commercial space and through Kforce Government Solutions, our unique government vertical. We are excited for our Health Information Management associates and believe that the healthcare focus of Beecken Petty O'Keefe & Company will offer significant opportunities for professional growth.
