DALLAS — May 19, 2026 – Springline Advisory, a leading financial and business advisory firm dedicated to the middle market, today announced its expansion into the Oklahoma City area through a new strategic partnership with Norman-based GBC Advisory (GBC). The move marks another milestone in Springline’s mission to create a premier national accounting and advisory firm by aligning with high-performing, industry-specialized teams. 

For over four decades, GBC has served as a powerhouse in the Oklahoma metropolitan area, specializing in real estate, dealerships, banking, and high-net-worth (HNW) private clients. By joining Springline, GBC will maintain its local leadership and personal touch while gaining institutional scale to accelerate both organic and inorganic growth. In turn, Springline will be collaborating with GBC’s high-demand service lines, including business valuation, litigation support, and specialized financial services for HNW, and divorce-related matters. 

“Joining Springline is a transformative step for our firm, our people, and the clients who have trusted us for years,” said Ted Blodgett, Managing Partner of GBC Advisory. “There’s a unique entrepreneurial energy in the Oklahoma market, and our team at GBC has spent decades right at the heart of it. We’re excited to welcome in a fresh perspective and new set of tools to elevate our capabilities for the Oklahoma communities we serve, all while deepening our range of solutions for clients.” 

For Springline, this partnership advances the company’s commitment to building a network of culturally aligned firms with a people-first philosophy and a proven track record in complex industries. The collaboration between GBC and Springline accelerates the shared goal of delivering sophisticated, high-touch advisory services typically reserved for the largest global firms. 

“When we look for partners, we’re looking for a shared cultural heartbeat,” said Tim Brackney, CEO of Springline Advisory. “Ted and the GBC team built something special, and we’re excited to embrace our shared values of a people-first, client-first mentality. Springline looks forward to supporting their team as they grow, while making sure the white-glove, neighborly service their clients love stays where it belongs: at the center of everything they do.”    

Springline Advisory is actively pursuing opportunities to invest in entrepreneurial and culturally driven middle-market accounting and business advisory firms across the U.S. For more information, go to springlineadvisory.com.
