Monterrey is the state capitol of Nuevo Leon and is Mexico’s third largest city with more than 3.7 million inhabitants. The city is primarily known for its industry and commerce and some consider it the best place to conduct business in all of Latin America. The friendly and open business climate has helped this city evolve into an enormous industrial and commercial center. Business habits and ethics resemble those found in the U.S. and other world financial and manufacturing centers. Monterrey's traditions are centered around the cement, glass, steel, and beer industries that flourished in this vibrant city. Its proximity to the U.S. border offers an easy way for exports to U.S. markets. Monterrey's financial community and contribution drive the local manufacture of products and impact Mexico's overall economy significantly. Plante & Moran's Monterrey, Mexico, location is proud to offer expert accounting and audit consulting services to area clients.

Community Involvement
We at Plante & Moran in Monterrey, Mexico, genuinely care about our communities. Individually and collectively, our staff donates thousands of hours annually to help make our communities better.
In 2007-2008, the firm adopted Quilts for Kids as our firmwide initiative. Quilts for Kids exists to transform discontinued designer fabrics into quilts that are donated to children with life-threatening illnesses as well as battered and abused children. We set a goal of 15 quilts—1 per U.S. office—which would then be donated to the organization at the June 2008 Firm Conference.
For 2008-2009, Plante & Moran offices are working with an organization to send care packages to U.S. troops fighting overseas. Each office is donating snacks, condiments, games, and toiletries and working together to assemble these care packages to send them off to our troops.
Sustainability
All of us at Plante & Moran have long prided ourselves on being responsible corporate and community citizens, so it’s only natural that we adopt an even stronger environmentally friendly and sustainable approach going forward. Our Monterrey, Mexico, office has made significant strides in the areas of building design and furnishings, energy efficiency, paper conservation, and environmental awareness/waste reduction. Here are just a few of the initiatives currently in place:
- Each staff has work tools that allow remote access and document sharing from different locations. This has reduced gas consumption and provided greater flexibility while improving collaboration.
- We’re increasing our use of recycled paper products, including our firm letterhead and new firm brochure.
