Aprio, a notable accounting and advisory firm, is set to acquire Price Kong, a Phoenix-based company, which will allow the firm to enter the growing cannabis industry and strengthen its presence in Arizona. This acquisition supports Aprio's strategic expansion and will integrate Price Kong's expertise in accounting and audit, further bolstering Aprio's service offerings in the region.
Aprio, a prominent accounting and advisory firm, is set to acquire Phoenix-based Price Kong, effective June 1. This strategic move not only strengthens Aprio's presence in Arizona but also marks its entry into the burgeoning cannabis industry. The acquisition will integrate Price Kong's accounting, audit, and advisory services into Aprio's existing operations, enhancing its service offerings in the region.
Richard Kopelman, Aprio's CEO and managing partner, emphasized the significance of this acquisition, stating, "Bringing our capabilities, accounting, advisory, audit, wealth, and legal, together in one market is a landmark moment for Aprio." He highlighted the firm's commitment to supporting Arizona's entrepreneurs and business leaders in navigating growth opportunities and complex transactions.
Founded in 1967, Price Kong has built a strong reputation serving industries such as construction, dental, healthcare, real estate, and technology. The firm will add five partners, including managing partner Ross Dietrich, and 40 professionals to Aprio's team. Dietrich expressed enthusiasm about the merger, noting the potential to combine Price Kong's industry expertise with Aprio's broader capabilities and resources.
Aprio, headquartered in Atlanta, ranks as the 20th largest firm on Accounting Today's 2026 Top 100 Firms list, with reported revenues of $616 million. The firm has been actively expanding, completing over 20 acquisitions since 2017. This latest acquisition aligns with Aprio's strategy of leveraging Arizona's alternative business structure law to enhance its legal services through Aprio Legal.
