May 6, 2026

Doeren Mayhew, the 37th-largest tax and advisory firm in the nation, has acquired Parlade Schaefer Schortz CPAs, P.A. (PSS CPAs), a South Miami-based tax and accounting firm.  

Co-founded in 2002, by Jaime Parlade and Justin Schaefer, 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,” said Chad Anschuetz, CEO of Doeren Mayhew Advisors, LLC. “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, the firm’s health care client base now exceeds 1,250, further strengthening its position as a trusted advisor to health care providers while expanding its reach across the South Florida market. 

The addition of PSS CPAs brings 25 professionals to Doeren Mayhew, expanding its talent base to more than 1,300 team members nationwide and nearly 1,500 globally. Former partners Parlade and Schaefer will continue as principals of Doeren Mayhew, ensuring client continuity alongside their team, which will remain in its South Miami location. 

In a joint statement from PSS CPAs’ co-founders, they shared, “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.” 

Florida has remained a strategic growth market for Doeren Mayhew, with recent expansion efforts aimed at increasing the firm’s footprint and strengthening its ability to serve clients across the state. Most recently, the firm acquired Orlando’s Berman Hopkins in March 2026, and Key Biscayne’s Lancaster & Reed LLC in late 2025.
