Your Firm's Future Is Too Important to Leave to Guesswork.
PE. Mergers. New capital. Staying independent. Whatever comes next, make sure you’re ready.
The accounting profession is changing fast, and the decisions firm leaders make today will shape their businesses for years to come.
At Accounting Today’s PE Summit, you’ll get beyond the headlines and into the conversations that matter. Hear directly from firm leaders who’ve navigated deals, investors making them happen, and advisors who understand the opportunities, risks, and realities of a changing profession.
Whether you’re actively exploring a transaction, planning your next stage of growth, or simply trying to understand your options, this is where you get the insight, connections, and perspective to move forward with confidence.
Big Decisions Deserve Better Conversations.
Go beyond valuations and announcements. Hear first-hand what changes when outside capital enters the picture, from leadership and operations to talent, technology, and firm culture.
Explore the evolving landscape of private equity, mergers, ownership structures, and growth strategies. Learn what investors are looking for, how transactions work, and which questions every firm leader should be asking.
Connect with accounting firm executives, private equity investors, dealmakers, and industry advisors. Build relationships that could influence your firm’s next chapter.
Hear candid perspectives from leaders who’ve been through the process. What worked? What surprised them? What would they do differently? Get the kind of perspective you can’t find in a press release.
From AI and technology investment to succession, consolidation, and the next generation of ownership, understand the forces changing accounting and what they mean for your business.
