Aprio, LLP, a nationally-recognized top 50 CPA-led business advisory firm and CPAsNET, a community of accounting and business consulting firms, announced today a strategic partnership. As part of a five-year agreement, Aprio will provide CPAsNET member firms technical guidance, support and access to a range of more than 20 specialty services including R&D tax credits, state and local tax, cybersecurity and international tax.

The partnership with CPAsNET will extend Aprio expertise and services to the 20 U.S. firms and 120+ international firms within the CPAsNET member group. The alliance enables collaborative growth in a non-competitive environment, ensuring CPAsNET member firms and their clients have trusted advisors readily accessible on all accounting matters.

“As our profession becomes more competitive and client needs become more sophisticated, providing a comprehensive range of services and technical acumen is key to growing and retaining a loyal client base,” said Richard Kopelman, Aprio CEO and Managing Partner. “Today’s announcement builds on Aprio’s commitment to helping CPA firms grow through the partnership program the firm launched in 2018, which currently serves over 60 CPA firms across the United States. The partnership with CPAsNET is another example of how Aprio is providing innovative ways to serve our fellow CPA firms and their clients.”

“It is evident that Aprio shares the same values and entrepreneurial spirit of our member firms,” said CPAsNET President Sarah Dobek. “Like our community, Aprio is willing to share openly and freely with peer firms. We feel this relationship is a great fit and will help all our member firms deliver critical specialty services clients need today with a high degree of expertise and client satisfaction.”
