Press Release
August 18, 2026
Doeren Mayhew, the nation’s 37th largest assurance, tax and advisory firm, has expanded its Georgia presence with the addition of Live Oak Tax & Advisory, LLC. The combination builds on Doeren Mayhew’s 2025 entry into Georgia through its acquisition of AGL CPA Group and reflects the firm’s continued investment in metro Atlanta.
“We’re excited to grow our Georgia team,” said Jay Robbins, Greater Atlanta managing principal. “Daniel, Sarah and their team have built a strong reputation for client service and trusted advisory relationships throughout the Georgia market. Their addition strengthens our growing presence in the Southeast and supports our continued focus on providing clients with the depth of resources they need to succeed.”
Now operating under the Doeren Mayhew brand, Live Oak’s four-person team, including principals Daniel Sosebee and Sarah Collins, has joined the firm’s Duluth location, enhancing its outsourced accounting and tax capabilities for closely held businesses and individuals. Live Oak’s client-focused approach and local market knowledge complement the firm’s broader capabilities, helping clients navigate tax planning, financial reporting and day-to-day accounting needs as they grow.
“For us, this next chapter is about creating more possibilities for our clients,” said Live Oak’s Sosebee and Collins in a joint statement. “Doeren Mayhew brings the scale, specialized knowledge and technology to help us serve clients in new ways, without losing the personal relationships we’ve built over the years.”
Live Oak is the latest step in Doeren Mayhew’s deliberate growth across Georgia and the Southeast. In metro Atlanta, it builds on the late-2025 addition of Gerald Stinnett CPA, P.C., followed by the April 2026 acquisition of GRIFFIN Global Technologies, which added software development, AI automation, data analytics and technology consulting capabilities. Together, these additions expand the tax, accounting, advisory and digital solutions available to growing businesses across the region. Live Oak marks the firm’s seventh addition in 2026.
