Private equity

Accounting firms see private-equity funding as a welcome resource for further expansion, but many professionals wonder what the true cost of the money is.

Top 50 Firm UHY has received private equity funding from Summit Partners, the latest in a long line of accounting firms receiving PE financing.

Many private equity-backed firms at Accounting Today's PE Summit think that it absolutely can, along with much more.

Not everyone thinks PE is the 'greatest thing ever.' However, most agree it brought more positives than negatives.

The layoffs span the accounting firm's advisory, tax and audit businesses.

PE brings a lot to accounting, but it's not for everyone, say experts at Accounting Today's PE Summit.

Aprio acquires Kirsch Kohn Bridge; Opsahl Dawson adds Hauser Jones & Sas; and Doeren Mayhew acquires BHT&D CPAs.

The Top 25 Firm based in New York added a management consulting and CPA firm in the Baltimore area, its second acquisition in two days.

The acquisition of the San Diego-based outsourced accounting and advisory firm is the latest deal since Citrin received private equity financing.

Private equity can solve many of a firm's problems -- but not necessarily all, according to Phil Whitman.
