Audits driven by ESOP transitions, partner buy-outs, private-equity roll-ups, and succession planning for Florida law firms, medical practices, advisory firms, and other professional-services organizations.
Florida law firms, medical practices, and advisory firms that have run on compiled statements for decades are increasingly being asked for full audits — driven by private-equity roll-ups, ESOP transitions, and partner buy-outs.
