Recent Accounting & Tax Acquisitions
Acquisition Volume in Accounting & Tax by Year
Last 5 years
This page highlights recent acquisitions in the Accounting & Tax sector, showing how buyers are using deals to expand geographically and broaden technical capabilities. Notable strategic buyers include Cherry Bekaert, Doeren Mayhew and Ryan, each adding offices or specialist teams to deepen service lines.
Transactions frequently target capability builds—property tax, managed IT, outsourced accounting, forensic and employee benefit plan audits—while also reflecting cross-border and private-equity activity. Examples range from Ryan’s UK and Texas property tax deals to BDO Canada’s integration of grant advisory firm GrantMatch and Seekye Capital’s majority stake in DuvallWheeler LLP.
What Stands Out
- Geographic expansion is a clear theme: buyers are adding footholds across U.S. states (California, Alabama, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania) and internationally (Scotland, Canada, India).
- Capability-led acquisitions focus on property tax, managed IT and technology platforms, outsourced accounting and specialist practices such as forensic accounting and employee benefit plan audits.
- Repeat strategic acquirers appear alongside private-capital entrants: notable buyers include Ryan, Doeren Mayhew, Cherry Bekaert and private investor Seekye Capital.
- Cross-border and national rollups are present: examples include Ryan’s Scottish property-tax move, BDO Canada’s acquisition in Ontario, and Crowe LLP’s strategic investment in India.
