Top 40 accounting firm RubinBrown is growing its presence in the Nashville market by joining forces with Maggart & Associates, one of the largest CPA firms in the Middle Tennessee region, effective June 2.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. The combined firm will operate under the RubinBrown name in its Nashville office. Twenty-five team members, including six partners, are joining RubinBrown as part of the combination.
“This is a significant step in RubinBrown’s ongoing growth strategy,” Steven Harris, managing partner of St. Louis-based RubinBrown, said in a statement. “We are excited to expand our presence in Nashville, deepen our industry capabilities, and continue building trusted relationships with clients. This combination is a powerful reflection of our dedication to providing the highest level of client service.”
“We are excited to bring a greater presence to the Nashville market and to continue evolving our services for clients in Nashville and beyond,” added Thomas Zetlmeisl, managing partner of RubinBrown’s Nashville office.
Founded in 1978, Maggart focuses on services such as assurance and attestation, consulting, tax compliance and advisory, valuation, and forensic accounting. In addition, Maggart specializes in serving financial institution clients—a practice area RubinBrown says it looks forward to investing in and expanding.
“We are all very excited to be joining RubinBrown and expanding its presence in Nashville, as well as working to grow its Financial Institutions practice,” said Jason Ricciardi, a Maggart partner who will now be leading that practice at RubinBrown.
With nearly 50 years of service, Maggart brings broad industry expertise to clients in financial services, real estate, construction, not-for-profit, healthcare, technology, and more.
“We are thrilled to be joining with RubinBrown,” said Stephen Maggart, managing partner of Maggart & Associates. “The combination allows for a great expansion of our practice and the ability to continue to provide our clients with the highest level of service and new capabilities. RubinBrown and Maggart & Associates PC are each dedicated to bringing relationship-focused engagements to our clients. We continue our shared commitment to growth and delivering industry-leading service.”
Todd Maggart, a tax partner at Maggart and now a tax partner in RubinBrown’s Tax Services Group, added, “This combination fits perfectly with both firms’ history of delivering superior client service, and I’m excited to continue the growth of our collective presence in Nashville and beyond.”
RubinBrown, an independent member of Baker Tilly International, the ninth largest accounting and business advisory network in the world, has revenue of approximately $240 million with nearly 1,000 team members in offices across Chicago, Denver, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Mumbai, Nashville, and St. Louis.
The firm’s last M&A deal was in July 2024 when it combined with The Rybar Group, a national healthcare consulting firm based in the Detroit area.
