Aprio Unites Firm Alliance and Professional Services+ to Launch Aprio Alliance
New combined community expands resources, insights, and collaboration for growth-minded firms
ATLANTA, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Aprio, the 24th largest business advisory and accounting firm in the U.S., today announced the combination of Aprio Firm Alliance and Aprio Professional Services+ (PS+) into one unified community: Aprio Alliance, effective Jan. 2026. The new model brings together nearly 90 independent, growth-oriented accounting firms across the U.S. and Canada, providing expanded access to Aprio's advisory resources, including technology guidance, leadership and career development programs, exclusive events and peer collaboration, data-driven financial insights, and a members-only platform that centralizes tools, templates, and collaboration opportunities.
This combination advances Aprio's vision to build the most connected and growth-focused community of accounting firms, uniting accounting leaders around shared learning, progress, and business performance.
Aprio Alliance will provide members with greater support and opportunities to engage across every level of their firms — connecting partners, practice leaders, client service professionals, and functional teams to drive firmwide collaboration and growth. The community includes an expanded member services team, access to more than 30 vendor partnerships, a full curriculum of technical and non-technical CPE and leadership training available through the Aprio Learning Platform, and exclusive benchmarking and coaching resources.
"The creation of Aprio Alliance represents the next evolution of how we support firms," said Richard Kopelman, CEO of Aprio. "By bringing together two complementary communities, we are giving members more ways to learn from each other, grow their teams, and deliver even greater value to clients."
Aprio Firm Alliance has long served as a catalyst for small and mid-sized accounting firms seeking growth through collaboration, providing members with practical solutions, thought leadership, and access to Aprio's resources. Aprio Professional Services+, acquired from RSM US LLP earlier this year, extends that reach to a broader community of accounting firms and offers advisory services in strategy, leadership, talent, and operations.
Together, Aprio Alliance will serve as a comprehensive growth community for firms ranging in size from start-up to market leaders —representing over $1.5 billion in combined revenue and serving clients across industries and geographies. The combined group will be led by Dean Sengstock, current leader of Aprio's Professional Services+ practice, and backed by a dedicated and growing team to enhance member services and expand support for firms nationwide.
"Aprio Alliance is about what drives our members' success and empowering them to grow," said Dean Sengstock, Partner and Leader of the Aprio Alliance. "By reimagining the alliance model, we're challenging the status quo — bringing together the best of both models, more collaboration, more resources, and more opportunities for every firm in the community."
