Doeren Mayhew adds Miami firm

Top 50 Firm Doeren Mayhew acquired Miami-based Parlade Schaefer Schortz on Thursday, expanding the firm's presence in the South Florida market.

PSS CPAs offers tax, accounting and consulting services to businesses and high-net-worth individuals. It specializes largely in health care — particularly physicians, dentists and other providers — as well as construction, entertainment and real estate. The deal adds 25 employees to the Doeren Mayhew team and expands its health care client base to over 1,250. PSS CPAs partners and cofounders Jaime Parlade and Justin Schaefer will join the firm as principals.

"South Florida represents one of the most dynamic and competitive growth markets in the country, and expanding our presence here is a key priority," Doeren Mayhew Advisors CEO Chad Anschuetz said in a statement. "This acquisition enhances our health care capabilities, while also serving as an important step toward our broader goal of continuing to invest in the region. We see significant opportunity to grow our audit, tax and consulting capabilities, creating a more fully integrated service offering to a broader client base."

Doeren Mayhew, based in Troy, Michigan, ranked No. 37 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list. It reported $240 million in revenue, and now has over 1,300 employees nationwide and nearly 1,500 globally,

"This next step with Doeren Mayhew gives us access to deeper expertise and greater collaboration in the health care space, while enabling us to offer a broader range of services, including insurance, valuations, transaction advisory and higher-level CFO advisory, that are all increasingly critical in this sector," PSS CPAs' Parlade and Schaefer said in a joint statement. "It also creates the opportunity to expand into complementary areas for our growing sports and entertainment divisions. This positions us to better support our clients as they continue to evolve and grow our client base to new heights. We're excited about the path ahead."

Doeren Mayhew received a private equity investment from Audax Private Equity in August 2024, with a goal to grow its geographic footprint through continued acquisitions. Most recently, it acquired New York-based advisory firm 1RDG in January. In 2025, the firm completed 13 deals, expanding into markets such as Nashville, Atlanta and Miami.
