Aprio Launches a National Alliance with Transition of RSM Firm Foundation Program

ATLANTA, Sept. 30, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Aprio, LLP, a top business?advisory and CPA firm, announced RSM's Firm Foundation program will transition to Aprio as a key driver for expanding Aprio's partnership program with independently owned CPA firms nationwide. On December 1, 2021, Aprio will adopt the Firm Foundation model and aggressively expand it as a national alliance focusing on the firm's passion for "what's next."

"Aprio is taking the next step in evolving our partnership program and working with firms across the country to drive their success," said Richard Kopelman, managing partner and CEO of Aprio, LLP. "We are dedicated to sharing breakthrough knowledge, innovation and growth strategies, and leadership best practices across the nation's best, growth-focused firms. We aim to advance the accounting profession in critical areas for our members. Future success for the profession will be driven by talent acquisition and development, new and organic growth, digital transformation, and high-performance cultures."

In 2017 Aprio created a partner program to help CPA firms proactively grow their businesses and comprehensively service their clients by offering specialty services including R&D, business valuation, international tax, blockchain, cybersecurity, as well as private equity services. Aprio's current partners will have the opportunity to be part of Aprio's new alliance, focused on exponential national growth, connections, and referrals.

"We will continue to build on our current successful strategy, and offer small- to mid-size CPA firms the vital resources needed to scale. Our focus will be on firms with annual revenues of $1 million to $20 million, the heartbeat of America's accounting profession," said Kopelman.

Through connection, collaboration, coaching, continuing education, leadership development, dedicated peer groups, and unlimited access to technical experts for complex tax matters, Aprio intends to grow its current national network reach threefold in the next few years. "We know the Aprio model works," said Kopelman. "The time is right to apply it very broadly by making it accessible to other firms nationwide."
