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.

Butch Miller/Butch Miller for Georgia

Butch Miller is a member of the Georgia State Senate from the 49th District, serving since 2010. He is a member of the Republican Party. In May, he announced his candidacy for the 2022 Georgia lieutenant gubernatorial election.

Raised in Northeast Georgia, Butch Miller is a proven conservative who is not afraid to stand up for Georgia values. As a Christian, husband, father, and small business owner, Butch knows the importance of economic opportunity and liberty for all. And just as important, Butch knows how to get it done. In the Georgia Senate, Butch has always fought for conservative values. When others shied away from the criticism of commonsense election reform, Butch stepped up and got it done. Butch ushered in the largest tax cut in state history, helped save the HOPE scholarship, protected life at conception, passed one of America’s strongest immigration laws, and stood up for Georgia’s brave law enforcement officers. When the going gets tough, Butch is there to fight. As Georgia’s Lieutenant Governor, he will always do the same.
