Doeren Mayhew Expands with Parlade Schaefer Schortz Acquisition

 Doeren Mayhew, the 37th-largest tax and advisory firm in the nation, has acquired Parlade Schaefer Schortz CPAs, P.A. (PSS CPAs), a South Miami-based tax and accounting firm. 

With this acquisition, the firm’s health care client base now exceeds 1,250, further strengthening its position as a trusted advisor to health care providers while expanding its reach across the South Florida market.

The addition of PSS CPAs brings 25 professionals to Doeren Mayhew, expanding its talent base to more than 1,300 team members nationwide and nearly 1,500 globally. Former partners Parlade and Schaefer will continue as principals of Doeren Mayhew, ensuring client continuity alongside their team, which will remain in its South Miami location. 

In a joint statement from PSS CPAs’ co-founders, they shared, “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.”

Florida has remained a strategic growth market for Doeren Mayhew, with recent expansion efforts aimed at increasing the firm’s footprint and strengthening its ability to serve clients across the state. Most recently, the firm acquired Orlando’s Berman Hopkins in March 2026, and Key Biscayne’s Lancaster & Reed LLC in late 2025.
