Deloitte & Touche: Committed to growing the New Jersey life sciences industry

New Jersey Business, Jun 01, 2005 by Micca, Peter J

Deloitte & Touche has had a long presence growing businesses and its practice in the Garden State. In the 1960s, Deloitte & Touche's predecessors - Deloitte Haskins Sells and Touche Ross - established offices in Newark, Hackensack, Morristown, and Short Hills. After the Deloitte-Touche merger in 1989, Deloitte settled into a Parsippany facility that houses 700 professionals within five functions serving a diverse array of industries. Other Deloitte & Touche professionals are based in our Summit, New Brunswick, Princeton, and Jersey City offices, for a total of 1,049 audit, tax, consulting, and financial advisory personnel.
