Why We Exist... For You!

We have created a new-age platform that invests in and supports the best regional CPA firms in the country so they can Stay Independent while Growing Together

Ascend has developed a modern approach to growth, partnership, and practice management for the accounting industry. Regional firms remain independent, receive capital for investments in talent, mergers, and technology, and execute on their growth strategy with the support of Ascend’s leadership team. An innovative “Path to Partnership” program gives rising professionals better opportunity to participate in upside than existing partnership structures offer today

“We are all about helping people reach their goals. Whether you are a leader seeking to grow your firm, a professional looking to advance your career, or you want to be part of building something bigger than yourself, Ascend will help you get there.”
