Top 50 accounting firm Doeren Mayhew is making more moves in the Nashville market by acquiring Carson & McKinney CPAs in a deal that was finalized last month.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. The firm and its employees began operating under the Doeren Mayhew name on Sept. 22.
Doeren Mayhew first entered the Nashville market in March 2025 with the acquisition of Thurman Campbell Group PLC.

“Doeren Mayhew is excited about our continued growth in Nashville,” Doeren Mayhew CEO Chad Anschuetz said in a statement on Oct. 6. “We’re committed to strategically positioning ourselves in this fast-growing market with additional resources and offerings to deepen our client relationships.”
Led by Managing Principal Chad McKinney, Carson & McKinney provides tax, assurance, consulting, and outsourced accounting services to individuals and a diverse sector of businesses throughout Middle Tennessee.
“The state of the industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by evolving tax regulations and accounting standards. Collaborating with a firm of Doeren Mayhew’s caliber gives our clients access to additional services and resources, with a more holistic approach to high-quality client service,” said McKinney, who joins Doeren Mayhew as a principal in the regional leadership team. “We are confident this partnership will elevate our capacity to provide the next level of forward-looking value to our clients for their continued success.”
This is Doeren Mayhew’s eighth acquisition in 2025. The Troy, MI-based accounting firm received an infusion of outside capital in August 2024 by selling a stake to Audax Private Equity. Doeren Mayhew said at the time that the investment will allow it to broaden its geographic footprint via continued acquisitions, as well as to enhance its service offerings, technology infrastructure, and overall employee and client experience.
“We are thrilled to welcome Carson & McKinney to our firm,” said Bob Yates, greater Nashville managing principal at Doeren Mayhew. “Having a long-standing relationship with Chad McKinney, we know firsthand his teams’ deep commitment to their clients. Our shared client philosophy and combined local bench strength better positions us for future success in the market, while enhancing our clients’ experiences with us.”
