Professional Services Acquisitions in Florida
Florida Professional Services M&A Highlights
Florida professional services dealmaking spans architecture and engineering, accounting and advisory, pest and pool services, insurance brokerage, and workforce verification/automation. Recent transactions show buyers using Florida platforms to expand capabilities, customer reach, and geographic footprint across the state.
Across the listed deals (2019–2026), recurring sponsor and platform operators include SPS PoolCare, The Stonewall Group, Baker Tilly, CX1 Capital Inc., and Grant Thornton Advisors LLC. Target fit often centers on expanding service lines—such as specialty advisory in insurance, cross-border or real estate tax in accounting, and modernization/automation in technology-enabled services.
Many transactions also emphasize leadership continuity or business integration. Examples include keeping founders involved after an acquisition in architecture, and rolling acquired operating companies into existing brands or units to support follow-on growth in Florida and nearby markets.
What Stands Out
- Architecture and design expansion: The Stonewall Group acquired ADG Architecture, LLC (Fort Myers), expanding its Southeast footprint while keeping ADG founders involved.
- Consolidation in services with recurring customers: SPS PoolCare (with Storr Group and Balance Point Capital) acquired Pool Troopers to strengthen its pool maintenance and repair position.
- Accounting and advisory capability deepening: Baker Tilly plans to acquire Berkowitz Pollack Brant Advisors + CPAs to expand South Florida presence and specialized services.
- Technology-enabled and AI/automation themes appear in advisory and verification: Grant Thornton Advisors LLC acquired Auxis, and Equifax Inc. acquired Vault Verify for workforce solutions integration.
- Florida deal activity also includes broader professional-business services: Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group acquired The LRW Group, and CX1 Capital Inc. completed a buy-and-build plan for SatComCX.
