TPG backs accounting firm Smith + Howard
Across the United States, the Atlanta-based firm serves middle-market companies with audit, tax, consulting and related advisory services.
After several years of growth alongside Broad Sky Partners, Smith + Howard has brought in TPG as a platform investor for its accounting and advisory business.
The Atlanta-based firm works with middle-market businesses and provides audit, tax and consulting services to clients nationwide.
The investment is intended to support national expansion, technology investment and acquisitions.
Smith + Howard is the named platform in the transaction, rather than an add-on to a disclosed existing buyer.
The deal gives TPG a professional-services platform centered on accounting and advisory work for U.S. middle-market clients.
