in an era when private equity’s arrival in public accounting has been met with suspicion, nishaad ruparel is reshaping the narrative. as president of ascend, a $400+ million pe-backed platform that has quietly acquired or partnered with 17 accounting firms in just two years, ruparel joins the big 4 transparency podcast to unpack what’s driving this wave and why it may be an interesting path forward for talent, succession, and innovation. 

unlike the caricature of firms selling to pe “grabbing the bag,” ruparel says the firm leaders choosing to join ascend are doing it not for a quick payday, but for future growth and legacy.

“these firms are looking at their clients and saying, ‘i’ve served this market for 50 years – how do i keep doing that in a way that’s synonymous with excellence?’” ruparel explains. “then they look at their people, at their deep bench, and ask how they can secure their future. and they realize: the cost of independence is rising fast.”

in this episode of big 4 transparency, matthew may, former co-founder of acuity and now cas leader at sorren, pulls back the curtain on one of the most significant private equity-driven rollups in the accounting profession. speaking with host dominic piscopo, may details how acuity, alongside other firms, became part of a growing national platform backed by dfw capital, and why he believes client accounting services (cas) will soon eclipse audit.

the seeds of the sorren platform were planted in a bdo alliance roundtable where six firms fantasized about joining forces. that vision crystallized when dfw capital, with a thesis to invest $100m in the space, entered the picture. from there, may and his partners at acuity ran a rigorous process, engaging investment bankers to evaluate 250 potential paths, leading to 11 indications of interest (iois), seven in-person meetings, and five formal offers. the decision to join sorren wasn’t about cashing out – it was about autonomy, cultural fit, and the chance to help shape a future-focused firm from the ground up.

on the latest episode of the big 4 transparency podcast, marcus dillon, founder and president of dillon business advisors, offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the art of accounting firm acquisitions and what happens after the deal closes. having completed 15 m&a transactions, dillon has quietly built a hybrid growth model that blends strategic purchasing with equally strategic divestitures, helping him scale while staying lean and focused.

dilon’s approach flips conventional acquisition thinking on its head. rather than simply absorbing the full book of business, dillon’s team audits each client against their firm’s service model and values, and often sells off the clients who don’t fit. “we apply the 80/20 rule early in the due diligence phase,” he explains. “twenty percent of the clients typically generate 80 percent of the revenue, and the rest are often where the frustration lies.” that filtering strategy, he says, allows for faster onboarding, better client service, and less internal chaos

in a candid conversation on the big 4 transparency show, former cohnreznick ceo frank longobardi offers a sweeping view of the accounting industry’s transformation, advocating for private equity investment as a necessary catalyst for modernization. speaking with host dominic piscopo, longobardi explains how traditional partnership structures have often hindered strategic decision-making, especially in large firms where a board of ten or more can slow progress. “you’ve got people on the board at different ages, different objectives, and different disciplines,” he says. “a smaller circle with clear strategic goals allows partners to do what they do best: serve clients and lead people.”

longobardi also highlights how the profession’s talent model is out of step with the expectations of today’s workforce.

“you hire a top student and tell them they’ll make partner in 16 years,” he notes. “meanwhile, their friends in finance are seeing returns now—when they’re raising kids and buying houses.”

private equity, longobardi argues, can address this by offering earlier equity opportunities and aligning incentives across generations. “we need to make accounting a profession of choice again,” he says, pointing to declining enrollment in accounting programs and the deterrent of the fifth-year requirement for cpa licensure.
