CliftonLarsonAllen, a Top 10 Firm, has expanded in Nashville by adding Price CPAs, effective June 20.
Price CPAs has annual revenue of $4.7 million, and will bring a total of 20 people, including two partners, to the firm. CLA’s annual revenue is $1.6 billion, and its staff has over 7,500 total people, including more than 1,100 principals and signing directors. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. CLA ranked No. 8 on Accounting Today’s 2022 list of the Top 100 Firms.
Price CPAs dates back to 1953. “Great professional service starts with solid relationships,” said Price CPAs managing partner Tom Price in a statement Friday. “And we’ve found a solid relationship with CLA — one that provides the seamless continuation of our personalized approach to excellent client service, alongside a multiplied team of professionals aligned to the same values.”
The addition of Price CPAs will bolster CLA’s presence in Nashville and service across Middle Tennessee. Former Price CPAs employees will continue to serve clients locally and nationally from their existing Nashville office, increasing CLA’s presence in the city to more than 50 people.
“The Price CPAs team is a great fit with CLA,” said CLA chief geographic officer Scott Engelbrecht in a statement. “When we collaborate around opportunities, we can deliver services in a way that is truly among the best.
