Top 50 accounting firm Doeren Mayhew has expanded its presence in the metro Atlanta area by acquiring Gerald Stinnett CPA, an accounting practice based in Suwanee, GA, effective Dec. 1, 2025.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. The firm’s founder, Gerald Stinnett, and his associates have moved operations to Doeren Mayhew’s metro Atlanta office in Duluth, GA.
This was Doeren Mayhew’s 11th M&A deal 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.

Since its founding in 1983, Gerald Stinnett CPA has offered a comprehensive suite of tax, accounting, and consulting services to organizations in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors.
“We are excited to offer our valued clients with an expanded scope of services and resources that will now be available by joining forces with Doeren Mayhew. The accounting industry continues to evolve because of technology, regulations, and complexity that require the level of sophisticated infrastructure Doeren Mayhew brings to the table,” Stinnett said in a statement. “This also represents a tremendous opportunity for us to provide our staff with access to value-added training, opening doors for continued career growth.”
