CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS (October 14, 2026) – Founders is pleased to announce that Adamson & Company has been acquired by UHY, a leading national accounting, tax, consulting, and advisory services firm backed by Summit Partners. Adamson & Company is the largest independently-owned CPA firm in Corpus Christi, Texas, providing business and personal tax, audit and attest, and client accounting services (CAS) to clients throughout South Texas. Adamson & Company was exclusively advised by principals of Founders Advisors (“Founders”) in this transaction.

Founded in 1981, Adamson & Company has built a 40-plus-year reputation for relationship-driven, solution-oriented service across the Corpus Christi and South Texas markets, including Portland, McAllen, the Rio Grande Valley, San Antonio, and Houston. The firm’s eight partners and team of licensed CPAs and professionals serve a diverse base of privately held businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and organizations, with core practices in tax, audit and attest, and accounting and advisory services.

The combination represents another milestone in UHY’s national growth strategy and strengthens the firm’s ability to serve middle-market businesses, closely held companies, entrepreneurs, and individuals with expanded accounting, tax, advisory, and consulting services. UHY currently employs more than 2,000 professionals across over 40 offices in the United States, providing clients with the resources of a national firm while maintaining a local, relationship-driven approach.

“I have been working with Founders for over a decade on highly successful client projects. When it came time to explore my own transaction; why not bring in the best? Founders’ aptitude of the underlying market and approach to driving a competitive process was, and always has been, impressive. In addition to understanding monetary goals, our deal required the emotional intelligence to deliver on a number of non-financial goals belonging to our 8 partner team. They showed sincere interest in performing for each of my partners. Finding a buyer partner who aligned with our 40+ year culture was priceless. Although the value Founders created was beyond financial, the math exceeded a 10x on their fee. The deal delivered was with the buyer we wanted from day one, and the results were better than what we thought possible. Founders’ service to the middle market is unmatched in professionalism, experience and heart.” said Austin Adamson, Partner at Adamson & Company.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to advise the Adamson team on their successful transaction with UHY”, said Neal England, Managing Director at Founders Advisors. “Our experience in the CPA and accounting services sector enabled us to understand what mattered most to both parties and bring together an aligned partnership we believe is exceptionally well positioned for continued success.”

Chris Jenkins, Director at Founders Advisors, added, “It was such a pleasure to work with the Adamson team on what resulted in an incredible partnership with UHY. Austin and the team at Adamson have built the premier accounting firm in South Texas through years of delivering exceptional service and building strong client relationships. The partnership with UHY will provide the firm with expanded capabilities and resources, positioning Adamson for continued growth and an even stronger presence across the state.”

“We’re building something special at UHY. By integrating with like-minded firms that share our values and client focus we can deliver a next level of service to emerging entrepreneurial and privately owned businesses, many of whom are facing increasing complexity and a growing need for specialized expertise,” said Steven P. McCarty, Chairman and CEO of UHY. “Adamson & Company has earned an outstanding reputation for putting clients first and delivering exceptional service. Their culture, values, and commitment to quality align closely with UHY’s mission and client base, and we’re excited to welcome them to UHY.”
