Troy, Mich.-based IPA 100 firm Doeren Mayhew (FY24 net revenue of $170.4 million) has acquired South Miami, Fla.-based Parlade Schaefer Schortz CPAs P.A., expanding the firm’s presence in Florida and strengthening its health care practice.

“South Florida represents one of the most dynamic and competitive growth markets in the country, and expanding our presence here is a key priority,” said Chad Anschuetz, CEO of Doeren Mayhew Advisors, LLC. “This acquisition enhances our health care capabilities, while also serving as an important step toward our broader goal of continuing to invest in the region. We see significant opportunity to grow our audit, tax and consulting capabilities, creating a more fully integrated service offering to a broader client base. We are excited to welcome Jaime and Justin, along with their team, whose commitment to delivering specialized solutions aligns with our approach to helping clients operate efficiently, remain compliant and grow with confidence.”

Following the acquisition, Doeren Mayhew’s health care client base now exceeds 1,250 clients. The transaction also adds 25 professionals to the firm, bringing its workforce to more than 1,300 team members nationwide and nearly 1,500 globally.

Jaime Parlade and Justin Schaefer will continue as principals with Doeren Mayhew, and the South Miami office will remain in place to provide continuity for clients and staff.

In a joint statement, Parlade and Schaefer said, “As our clients have grown in size and complexity, so have their needs. This next step with Doeren Mayhew gives us access to deeper expertise and greater collaboration in the health care space, while enabling us to offer a broader range of services, including insurance, valuations, transaction advisory and higher-level CFO advisory, that are all increasingly critical in this sector. It also creates the opportunity to expand into complementary areas for our growing sports and entertainment divisions. This positions us to better support our clients as they continue to evolve and grow our client base to new heights. We’re excited about the path ahead.”
