Doeren Mayhew Acquires Dent Moses, LLP, Expands Into Alabama and Adds IT Managed Services Platform

  • News

Doeren Mayhew, the 46th-largest tax and advisory firm in the nation, has acquired Birmingham, Alabama-based CPA firm Dent Moses, LLP and its affiliate, Impact Technology Group, LLC (Impact Technology), deepening its presence in the Southeast and broadening its technology service offering. 

Founded in 1923 and formed through a 2015 merger of two of Birmingham’s oldest firms, Dent Moses is a respected CPA firm with strong community ties, delivering audit, tax and outsourced accounting services to high-net-worth individuals, privately held companies and governmental entities, servicing clients in construction, real estate, professional services, manufacturing and distribution. Anticipating the evolving needs of its clients, the firm expanded beyond traditional accounting services in 2001 with the launch of a technology solutions practice. That initiative has since grown into a full-service managed and co-managed information technology platform, operating today as Impact Technology Group, LLP.

“We’re excited to welcome a team known for its strength in audit and tax, deep client relationships and a culture grounded in exceptional people,” said Chad Anschuetz, CEO of Doeren Mayhew Advisors, LLC. “At the same time, the addition of Impact Technology’s managed services platform advances a longstanding strategic priority for us. We’re committed to building a firm that evolves alongside our clients and anticipates the demands of today’s dynamic business environment, and this is an area requiring continuous innovation. We look forward to scaling this practice across our footprint and expanding the value we deliver to clients.”

Effective Feb. 10, 2026, the strategic combination establishes Doeren Mayhew’s first office in Alabama, adding nine principals and nearly 65 professionals to the firm. All former Dent Moses partners will remain in their leadership roles as principals of Doeren Mayhew, ensuring continuity, stability and a seamless transition for clients and team members. Dent Moses Managing Partner Lee Willoughby will continue to lead the local office as managing principal, overseeing regional growth and advancing the firm’s long-term strategic vision across the state.

“What drew us to Doeren Mayhew was the strength of its platform and its shared commitment to client relationships,” said Willoughby. “Building strong, lasting relationships has been at the core of our firm since day one, and that foundation remains unchanged. This combination allows us to preserve what makes us who we are, while positioning us to accelerate our growth across Alabama. With access to additional expertise and resources, we’re able to deliver even greater value to the clients and communities we serve, which has always been our priority.”

The Dent Moses CPA and advisory practice will operate under the Doeren Mayhew brand, including Doeren Mayhew Assurance and Doeren Mayhew Advisors, LLC, consistent with its alternative practice structure. Impact Technology will continue operating under its established brand, with the added designation “A Doeren Mayhew Company,” aligning it within the firm’s family of brands while preserving its strong market identity.

Founders Advisors served as the exclusive financial advisor to Dent Moses in the transaction.

“With a remarkable legacy in accounting and advisory services, the Dent Moses team has built a practice defined by strong client relationships and a culture of excellence,” said Chris Jenkins, vice president at Founders Advisors. “It was a privilege to represent Dent Moses and work with Doeren Mayhew on this transaction. We look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of the combined organization.”

Doeren Mayhew has experienced significant growth in recent years, with a strategic focus on expanding its presence in the Southeast. The firm has completed six acquisitions across Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Alabama since the start of 2025, further strengthening its regional platform. Each new location enhances the firm’s ability to deliver expanded expertise and broader service offerings, while preserving the local insight and relationships clients value.
