Independent accounting and advisory firm serving mid-market and enterprise clients
Moore Colson is a 45-year-old independent accounting and advisory firm based in Atlanta, operating across tax, audit, and consulting. The tech stack reflects traditional professional-services infrastructure—CCH ProSystem fx, QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Office—with cloud adoption (AWS, Azure) supporting delivery at scale. Hiring is concentrated in finance and tax roles across intern through director levels, but velocity is decelerating; the active pain-point list (SOX compliance, SOC readiness, cybersecurity risk assessments) signals internal operational maturity work rather than growth-phase scaling.
Notable leadership hires: Tax Director, Audit Director
Moore Colson provides accounting, tax, audit, and advisory services to mid-market businesses, individuals, and family offices across construction, healthcare, technology, and other verticals. Founded in 1981, the firm has grown organically to become one of the largest independent accounting firms in the United States. Service lines include business and individual tax planning, financial statement audits and reviews, employee benefit plan audits, SOC reporting, bankruptcy advisory, and cybersecurity advisory. The firm operates on a non-book-of-business model, meaning clients are paired with specialized expertise rather than assigned to a single relationship manager. Operations span both traditional accounting software (QuickBooks, Sage) and mid-market ERPs (NetSuite, SAP, Deltek), indicating a client base spanning small businesses through larger enterprises.
Core tools include CCH ProSystem fx, QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, and Deltek for client work, plus Microsoft Office, IntelliJ IDEA, AWS, Azure, and Active Directory for internal operations.
