KMA Human Resources Consulting, a women-owned HR firm based in Falmouth and led by Kim Anania, has been acquired by a Boston-based company, Skillcloud HCM Solutions.
The acquisition, which took effect on March 1, is aimed at expanding services, technology and national reach. As part of the new transition, the KMA name will be retired and operations will be moved under the Skillclound brand.
Anania, who started KMA nearly 20 years ago, will become director of corporate development at Skillcloud.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Anania told Mainebiz that all 35 employees will remain under the new ownership.
“I am enormously proud of the business we’ve built over almost two decades — a business grounded in outstanding talent and exceptional client relationships,” said Anania. “Joining Skillcloud allows us to broaden our reach and bring innovative, future-focused technologies, expanded services and deeper resources to our clients, all while preserving the personalized, human experience they expect from us.”
Clients will continue working with their existing consultants during the transition, while gaining access to additional services and resources through Skillcloud. The combined organization will continue serving clients in New England and across the country.
“We are excited to join forces with Kim and the entire KMA team — a gifted and respected group whose experience and dedication will strengthen our national capabilities and accelerate the impact we can make together,” said Chris Dirksing, managing partner at Skillcloud.
