MST is noted by Accounting Today as a “Firm to Watch”; ranked as one of the “Top 25 Accounting Firms” by the Atlanta Business Chronicle; and ranked by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution as “Top Work Places”.

Their client relationships typically are for the long-term, often extending over decades, and the continuity of these client relationships is the ultimate testament to MST’s service approach.

MST specializes in serving closely-held and privately-owned businesses ranging in size from $10 million to over $300 million in revenue. Their services are composed of a broad range of audit, tax and strategic consulting matters. They have substantial experience in serving as the outside accountant for a wide range of growth and mature professional service providers.
