Larson Tax Partners, based in St. Louis, was established in 2021 and offers tax, compliance and accounting advisory services to closely held businesses and affluent families. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

"Many middle-market enterprises across the country are facing unprecedented complexities and they need to be able to count on a strategic advisor that can help them meet those challenges head on," Steven McCarthy, chairman and CEO of UHY, said in a statement Wednesday. "We are building a firm to meet that need,"

"By combining entrepreneurial professionals and growth-minded firms across the country we are enabling independent firms to achieve more together than they ever could on their own," McCarthy continued. "The addition of Larson Tax Partners will further enhance our tax capabilities nationally, and in return they gain deeper resources, enhanced technology, and the ability to better serve their clients. That shared value is what continues to attract outstanding firms to UHY, while further enhancing the trust and confidence clients place in our firm."

UHY, based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, ranked No. 26 on Accounting Today's 2025 Top 100 Firms list. It reported $385 million in revenue, and now has over 2,000 total employees across 40 offices. 

UHY received a private equity investment from Summit Partners in December 2024, spurring a wave of M&A activity. Earlier this month it expanded in New York States, adding CMJ. In 2025, it expanded in the St. Louis area, adding Sabino & Co. and Botz Deal & Co. That year it also acquired Tama, Budaj & Raab in Michigan. Prior to its PE investment, it added Paresky Flitt & Co. in Massachusetts; Baird, Cotter & Bishop PC in Michigan; Ross, Langan & McKendree in Virginia; Jansen Valk Thompson Reahm in Michigan; LWBJ in Iowa; and TGM Group LLC and Stoy Malone, both in Maryland.
