UHY has bought Adamson & Company, the top independent CPA firm in Corpus Christi, Texas. This move pushes UHY's reach past Houston and brings over 2,000 professionals together under one national brand.
UHY is growing its Texas presence by taking over Adamson & Company, the biggest independent CPA firm in Corpus Christi. Until now, UHY's Texas offices were focused on Houston. With this deal, UHY adds a new region to its network. The company is based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, where it remains a major employer and a steady part of the local business scene, as noted by the City of Farmington Hills Economic Development Office.
Adamson & Company started in 1981. The firm is known for audit, tax, and advisory work for a wide mix of clients across South Texas. Leaders Austin Adamson, Jennifer Perales, and Trevor Prewett will join UHY, along with all Adamson partners and staff. Adamson & Company has worked with private businesses, local governments, and nonprofits for years. The firm's focus on community matches the values promoted by the Farmington Public Schools board.
New leadership joins UHY
With Adamson & Company on board, UHY now has more than 2,000 people working in over 40 offices across the U.S. The Corpus Christi team brings decades of experience with businesses, city governments, nonprofits, and individuals. INSIDE Public Accounting reported on the move. UHY's step beyond Houston is a clear push to serve more Texas communities, including those with special local government needs.
Adamson & Company's leaders say their focus on people and client service will stay the same under UHY. Clients will get access to more industry specialists and national resources, but the personal approach that built Adamson's reputation will remain. Austin Adamson said the firm's "people-driven culture" and client focus have always been key, and these values will continue inside UHY's larger network.
Expanding national presence
UHY, based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, reported $412.9 million in net revenue for fiscal year 2025. The firm has been growing steadily, adding more than 15 firms in recent years. Before Adamson & Company, UHY's last big addition was RBT CPAs in New York's Hudson Valley. UHY's role in Farmington Hills is still a point of pride for the city, which often highlights major employers and economic drivers in its public updates and council meetings.
This latest deal shows UHY's plan to build a bigger national platform by bringing in established local firms. The move into Corpus Christi gives UHY a stronger foothold in Texas and helps it serve clients with complex needs in more places. Local business leaders and city officials in both Michigan and Texas are watching the deal, since it could shape future partnerships and economic projects.
What this means for clients and staff
For South Texas clients, the change means more expertise and resources, but the same local relationships they trust. Adamson & Company employees will join a national network, opening new chances for growth and teamwork. The integration should help not just private clients, but also city and nonprofit groups that need specialized accounting and advice.
UHY's way of joining with established firms lets it keep local know-how while expanding its services. As UHY grows, it will have to balance national reach with the local attention clients expect in each new market. The City of Farmington and Farmington Hills, both known for active civic calendars and open public meetings, could be examples for how UHY works with local governments and community groups in new areas.
UHY's buyout of Adamson & Company shows how regional accounting firms are joining forces to stay competitive. By bringing together experienced teams and loyal clients, UHY is setting itself up as a major player in Texas and across the country. The real test will be whether UHY can deliver on its promise of more resources while keeping the personal service that has defined Adamson & Company for over 40 years.
