Aprio Buys Boutique Firm

Aprio, LLP announced Sept. 12 it has combined with CPA firm, Magoon, Freeman, Spain & Jones, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle. More than 15 former MFSJ team members will continue to operate from their Alpharetta office as Aprio | MFSJ.

MFSJ is a boutique accounting firm serving closely-held businesses, nonprofit organizations and individual clients for more than 40 years, the Business Chronicle reported.

Aprio, a CPA-led business advisory firm, said the purchase expands its Atlanta footprint by creating a presence in North Fulton and increases the firm’s retirement plan business by 15 percent.

“This combination will allow the MFSJ team to take advantage of our investments in business process automation, data analytics, as well as increased opportunities for skills building and career development through Aprio University,” Richard Kopelman, Aprio CEO and managing partner, said in a news release.

Aprio was rebranded from Habif, Arogeti & Wynne LLP last January. The firm has announced three transactions in 2018, according to the Business Chronicle.
