Top 50 accounting firm Doeren Mayhew has bolstered its health care practice by acquiring Parlade Schaefer Schortz CPAs, a South Miami-based tax and accounting firm.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
The addition of PSS CPAs brings 25 professionals to Doeren Mayhew, expanding its headcount to more than 1,300 nationwide and nearly 1,500 globally. PSS CPAs’ co-founders and partners Jaime Parlade and Justin Schaefer will continue as principals at Doeren Mayhew. Their team will remain in its South Miami location.
This is Troy, MI-based Doeren Mayhew’s fourth M&A deal in 2026. The firm acquired Berman Hopkins, an INSIDE Public Accounting top 300 firm with offices in Orlando and Melbourne, FL, in March. It also acquired 1RDG, a Rochester, NY-based advisory firm, in January and Birmingham, AL-based CPA firm Dent Moses and its affiliate, Impact Technology Group, in February.
Doeren Mayhew received an injection of outside capital in August 2024 by selling a stake to Audax Private Equity.
The accounting firm 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.

Established in 2002, PSS CPAs provides tax, accounting, and consulting services to businesses and high-net-worth individuals throughout South Florida. While the firm serves a diverse client base across industries such as construction, entertainment, and real estate, more than 60% of its practice is dedicated to the health care sector. The firm is particularly known for delivering specialized tax and practice management services to physicians, dentists, and other health care providers.
“South Florida represents one of the most dynamic and competitive growth markets in the country, and expanding our presence here is a key priority,” Chad Anschuetz, CEO of Doeren Mayhew Advisors, said in a statement on May 6. “This acquisition enhances our health care capabilities while also serving as an important step toward our broader goal of continuing to invest in the region. We see significant opportunity to grow our audit, tax, and consulting capabilities, creating a more fully integrated service offering to a broader client base. We are excited to welcome Jaime and Justin, along with their team, whose commitment to delivering specialized solutions aligns with our approach to helping clients operate efficiently, remain compliant, and grow with confidence.”
With this acquisition, Doeren Mayhew’s health care client base now exceeds 1,250.
In a joint statement, Parlade and Schaefer said, “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.”
