Sharing Our Progress, Purpose and Thanks
Accelerating Progress
I am pleased to share a few Aprio highlights from 2022–2023 as we reflect on our successes and look to the future. This year’s report provides an opportunity to commemorate the ways we have positively impacted our clients, communities, teams and society.
Thanks to our valued clients and to the passion, hard work and dedication of our team members, this year Aprio was named the #1 Fastest Growing Firm by Accounting Today and the #26 Largest Accounting Firm in the United States. Our progress in 2022 and our continued growth and drive in 2023 are a direct result of the focused execution of our strategic plan by our dynamic team.

We continue to expand our capabilities and geographic reach to better serve our clients.
Since January of 2022, ten like-minded firms have joined the Aprio team. We’ve added new industry segments including Healthcare and Government Contracting and doubled our capacity to serve restaurant and franchise industry clients and their families. From new locations including Boston, New Jersey, Metro DC, Birmingham, Fort Lauderdale, Denver and the San Fransico Bay area we collaborate across disciplines as One Aprio so clients from coast to coast can benefit from our collective expertise.
“In September, we launched the Aprio 2023 US National Manufacturing Survey to help manufacturers benchmark their operations and identify potential opportunities to improve performance. This is just one of the initiatives we have championed to help our clients leverage data to make better business decisions and drive growth.”
