Springline expands into Wisconsin

"Vesta was built around a simple idea: that a firm can be invested in its clients and disciplined with its data at the same time," Springline Advisory CEO Tim Brackney said in a statement. "That's a harder balance to strike than it sounds, and Vesta has struck it for decades. Every market we enter has to start with the right firm, not just the map. In Wisconsin, that firm is Vesta."

Springline Advisory, based in Dallas, was created by private equity firm Trinity Hunt Partners in January 2024. It now ranks No. 54 on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list, reporting nearly $165 million in revenue, with 86 partners and over 770 total employees across 14 offices. 

It has completed a number of acquisitions, most recently GBC Advisory in May,  SD Mayer Advisory in March and Christy Paddock Advisors in January. It is one of the fastest-growing firms, with 84.2% growth in 2025, and is still "actively pursuing opportunities to invest in entrepreneurial and culturally driven middle-market accounting and business advisory firms across the U.S."

"We would never be satisfied with building a firm that is just 'good enough.' We are always striving for more," Nathan Volkomener, managing partner at Vesta, said in a statement. "Springline gives us the platform to keep growing into something bigger, with the people our clients already trust leading the way."
