Item 1.Business
Overview
Our mission is to deliver exceptional client service grounded in integrity, transparency, and excellence. Since our founding in 2002, we have experienced rapid and sustained growth, powered by our people, our values and our relentless commitment to innovative, client-focused solutions. Building on the rich traditions and culture of the former Arthur Andersen, we are driven by a bold vision to lead in a complex global marketplace, creating lasting value for our clients, our people and our investors.
We are a leading provider of independent tax, valuation and financial advisory services to individuals and family offices, businesses and institutional clients in the United States. We have strategically expanded our business to build an integrated platform of service offerings that enables us to solve our clients’ most complex tax and financial challenges. We have achieved this by delivering specialized technical expertise combined with practical advice, supported by our widely recognized and strong firm culture, integrated services offerings and global capabilities. Our global reach is facilitated through our membership in Andersen Global, a Swiss association of over 300 member and collaborating firms.
We have built a multidimensional independent advisory firm with the ability to provide differentiated services across tax and financial services to address our clients’ most complex challenges. Our primary end-to-end services offerings include:
•Private Client Services. We provide comprehensive tax and financial services for individuals and families, addressing complex client matters involving multigenerational wealth, charitable giving and trust and estate planning.
Read full description ↓
•Business Tax Services. We offer a broad range of scalable, integrated tax-related consulting and compliance services for businesses, helping organizations with managing their tax planning, compliance and reporting needs effectively.
•Alternative Investment Funds. We deliver comprehensive tax and financial services for a range of investment funds including family offices, funds of funds, hedge funds, private equity funds, venture capital funds and real estate investment trusts.
•Valuation Services. We provide clients with in-depth, independent valuation expertise that helps clients navigate tax laws and regulations and comply with important regulatory requirements.
Since our inception, we have made a deliberate decision not to provide audit or related financial statement attestation services. As a result, we are not limited by the associated regulations that audit firms are subject to in the United States and internationally.
We meet our clients’ most critical needs because of our distinctly qualified and talented professionals. We have rapidly increased our headcount over the past several years, employing over 2,300 personnel in 26 locations across the United States as of December 31, 2025. In addition, through Andersen Global, we have a global reach that gives us access to additional professionals worldwide. In an industry in which access to talent is a critical differentiator, we believe we benefit from long staff tenure and low attrition rates that help us maintain long-lasting client relationships.
We attract a highly diverse range of clients across the United States and internationally. As of December 31, 2025, we had performed services for approximately 12,350 client groups across the United States. Client groups will often comprise multiple client engagements with different entities or individuals, such as multiple subsidiaries of an entity, multiple principals within a single private equity fund or multiple individuals or trusts within a single wealthy family.
Our Differentiated Approach
We were founded in 2002 by a team of experienced leaders and partners of the former Arthur Andersen who had a vision for a professional services firm that would deliver advice that was tailored, relevant and impactful for clients. We remain true to that vision, differentiating our services by offering specialized technical expertise, combined with practical
5
advice, direct Managing Director involvement and access to international services through Andersen Global. These combined elements allow us to provide multidimensional, seamless service to our clients, who engage us to support them on their most complex, high-stakes matters.
Our operating model is powered by a widely recognized and strong firm culture based on shared values, integrated services offerings and investments in our people. Accordingly, our globally recognized brand enables us to attract and retain top talent which, in turn, reinforces client confidence. Our differentiated business is built on the following key drivers:
Our Firm Culture and Values
We have established a set of values that Andersen professionals are held accountable to and that define our culture: client service, collaboration and stewardship.
•Quality Client Service. Our ambition is to set the standard for client service excellence. We achieve this by working with clients to understand their needs and deliver solutions that are relevant, practical and value-accretive. In doing so, we leverage the collective experience of our Managing Directors, many of whom have decades of real-world experience, aided by the fact that we do not have a mandatory retirement age. In addition, we operate a low Managing Director-to-professional operating model and high ratio of client-facing employees, resulting in greater direct Managing Director interaction, greater accountability for service delivery and timelier responsiveness to client needs.
Our ability to deliver quality client service is also supported by our investments in technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). By blending our thought leadership and industry expertise with capabilities from innovative technology vendors, we are able to enhance the accuracy, speed, and scalability of delivery across our tax advisory, valuation, and consulting offerings. Our focus on bringing together the best of human capital and technology enables us to deliver differentiated insights and outcomes for clients, while maintaining the high standards of quality and confidentiality that define our brand.
•Collaboration and Teamwork. Our approach to collaboration and teamwork is founded on mutual trust and respect among colleagues. We have created a collaborative environment by encouraging open and transparent communications, being highly responsive and creating incentives that align Managing Director interests around sharing client relationships. By fostering collaboration and teamwork, we put our best resources in front of each client, regardless of practice area or geographic location.
•Stewardship. Andersen professionals are entrusted with preserving our culture so that the firm thrives as a vibrant workplace, while also providing opportunities for future generations to pursue successful careers serving clients. In particular, stewardship at Andersen means taking an active role in nurturing the development of our people, and providing them with a work environment and resources that foster their growth. We actively encourage an environment of continuous learning, in which individuals are engaged in on-the-job training, whether as mentors or as apprentices, and which in turn rewards tenure and discourages employee turnover. We believe that our focus on stewardship supports our business by creating an environment in which our professionals can enjoy long and rewarding careers.
With our focus on these values, we have intentionally built a firm culture that is akin to that of a family-run business, while also building on the rich legacy and traditions of the former Arthur Andersen. By holding each other accountable for living up to our cultural standards, we believe we are positioned to continue delivering high-quality services to our clients.
A Globally Recognized Premium Brand
We believe that the Andersen brand remains one of the most globally recognized and respected names within the professional services industry and is a key differentiator, enabling us to:
•Build a Culture of Excellence. The Andersen brand stands for a commitment to the highest standards of professionalism. Our professionals, many of whom trace their roots to the former Arthur Andersen, embody this
6
culture at Andersen today. This commitment manifests itself in client services delivered in a manner that is clear, concise, concrete, convincing, practical and timely.
•Accelerate Growth and Improved Profitability. Building on the name recognition of the former Arthur Andersen, the Andersen brand helps us acquire new high-quality clients. In addition to growing our client base, the Andersen brand has helped drive improved profitability.
•Attract and Develop Top Talent. The Andersen brand has fueled our recruiting efforts and expansion. Andersen’s reputation for excellence and the highest standards of professionalism has helped strengthen our talent pipeline.
Founding Member of Andersen Global, Enabling International Delivery at Scale
We are the founding member of Andersen Global, a Swiss association formed in 2013, which maintains and regulates the professional standards that its member and collaborating firms have agreed to uphold when delivering services to clients internationally. Andersen Global is an association of legally separate, independent firms and is one of the largest professional services affiliations in the world, with over 50,000 professionals and 3,000 partners operating in over 180 countries as of December 31, 2025.
Since inception, Andersen Global has expanded significantly as member and collaborating firms have sought to align around the Andersen brand and the Andersen Global umbrella of shared cultural values. Our relationships with Andersen Global’s member and collaborating firms provide us with access to deep global tax, legal and financial expertise, complemented by on-the-ground understanding of local business practices and regulations. These relationships give us the ability to better service our U.S. clients internationally and serve as a channel for inbound referrals. While we were instrumental in founding Andersen Global and participate on its governing Board, including with our CEO and Chairman, Mark Vorsatz, currently serving as its Global Chairman, we do not have any equity interest in the association or any other member or collaborating firm, and the association does not otherwise have separate financial results from the member or collaborating firms.
Independence
We have made a deliberate decision not to provide audit or related financial statement attestation services. This means that we can offer our clients a comprehensive suite of non-audit services, tailored to their specific needs, without being subject to the auditor independence rules and other restrictions that impact many of our competitors.
Integrated Services Platform Driving Our Multidimensional Business
In addition to our foundation as a leading tax practice, we have expanded our service offerings to include a broad array of capabilities. Our goal is to provide our clients with an integrated “one-stop shop” for their global advisory needs. We believe that this ability to bring multiple services lines together into a comprehensive set of offerings distinctly enables us to provide tailored, relevant solutions for each client.
Focus on Training and Development to Attract and Retain High-Quality Talent
In addition to a widely recognized and strong firm culture and emphasis on mentorship, we bolster our talent retention efforts with significant investments in training and development to ensure that our professionals are equipped with the expertise needed to support our clients.
We have built a series of core structured training programs that provide critical technical skills, industry knowledge and updates on latest tax regulations so that our professionals can deliver leading insights. Beyond our internal programs, we have a partnership with the University of San Francisco (USF), which provides tailored programs for our professionals to earn Masters of Business Administration (MBA), Masters of Laws in Taxation (LLM) or Masters of Legal Studies in Taxation (MLST) degrees. We also offer comprehensive professional qualification support by providing resources to assist with the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) exams, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams, bar exams and other professional certifications. These programs and resources are provided at no cost to our employees, conducted remotely and scheduled outside of peak workflow periods.
These investments in training underscore our commitment to stewardship. We believe that our emphasis on this core component of our culture has enabled us to deliver high levels of employee retention which, in turn, enhances our ability to deliver consistent client services.

Differentiated Thought Leadership
Our commitment to service excellence is supported by our ability to deliver highly relevant, insightful technical advice, informed by our thought leadership. Our position as a thought leader in our areas of practice is driven by our senior leaders, many of whom are subject matter specialists within their respective fields and are widely recognized as leading experts. For example, Andersen Managing Directors and professionals are the authors of widely regarded resources and reference materials, including foundational publications such as the Tax Economics of Charitable Giving and Income Taxation of Fiduciaries and Beneficiaries. In addition, our professionals are regularly invited to share insights at professional events as speakers and panelists. Our widely circulated For the Record newsletter provides timely updates on key developments in tax and finance to our clients. Additionally, through the Andersen Institute for Finance and Economics, which we refer to as the Institute, we provide critical thought leadership regarding far-reaching topics such as technological innovation, climate change and decarbonization, rising levels of public debt and geopolitical developments. Our team of experts who contribute to the Institute include eminent scholars who are actively engaged, either as board members or with Institute events. The direct involvement of these individuals further enhances our ability to provide cutting-edge insights and advice to our clients.
Our Integrated Services Offerings
Since our founding, our strategy has been to build the firm as a platform that seamlessly meets the tax and business needs of individuals and family offices, businesses and institutional clients. Our teams build long-term, trusted client relationships by delivering solutions that are both technically sophisticated and, most importantly, practical. Our primary services presently include:
•Private Client Services. We serve as trusted advisors to some of the world’s most affluent families, family offices and high-net-worth individuals, addressing complex matters involving multigenerational wealth, charitable giving and trust and estate planning. Our Private Client Services practice encompasses a wide range of areas, including income tax planning, trust and estate planning, charitable giving, family office advisory, tax compliance, outsourced accounting and wealth management advisory.
•Business Tax Services. We offer a broad range of scalable, integrated tax-related consulting and compliance services for businesses. Leveraging decades of experience, we help business enterprises manage their tax planning, compliance and reporting needs. Specifically, through our Business Tax Services practice, we offer the following services:

◦International Tax Services (ITS). Our ITS practice helps multinational enterprises navigate the complexities of cross-border operations as their business models and supply chains evolve. These services include advice relating to tax-efficient structures for geographic expansion, as well as support with transfer pricing strategies, indirect transactions, financial reporting and risk management.

•Alternative Investments. We provide distinct, integrated services specifically for investment funds across their lifecycle.

Our services are used for a variety of purposes, including financial and tax reporting, income, gift and estate tax reporting, litigation and strategic assessments.
•U.S. National Tax Office. In addition to discrete service offerings, our capabilities are enhanced by our team of dedicated U.S. National Tax (USNT) professionals. Our USNT office is comprised of senior, experienced professionals with deep technical expertise covering areas such as tax analysis, issue development, legislation monitoring and tax controversy. Many of our USNT professionals formerly held senior positions at the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. Department of Treasury and leading law firms.
Our ability to deliver these integrated capabilities are further underpinned by our investments in advanced technology platforms and a growing commitment to implementing AI across our service offerings. These investments include software and systems to support our tax and valuation services, as well as a number of strategic alliances with leading third-party AI firms to access proprietary technologies and accelerate innovation across our service lines. In addition, we have teamed with a number of additional firms offering distinctive AI solutions, further enhancing our ability to deliver market-leading capabilities and thought leadership to clients around the world. Our use of AI extends beyond our delivery of services to our clients, and reaches how we operate our own business. For example, we are leveraging an AI platform to review due diligence materials, streamline process management, and assist in contract negotiations in connection with our acquisition strategy and business combinations.
Our Growth Strategies
We believe that our financial performance directly reflects our differentiated approach and that our commitment to maintaining our culture of client service, collaboration and stewardship will support further growth in the future. We believe we are in the early stages of addressing our substantial market opportunity and we intend to execute on several growth strategies, including:
•Expand work with existing clients. We intend to continue expanding our relationships with existing clients by maintaining high service levels and, when appropriate, by recruiting experienced professionals who can provide additional services. Our core values of client service and collaboration have yielded a track record of expanding work with clients after an initial engagement. The number of client groups that had a minimum annual spend of over $250,000 grew from 629 to 687 from 2024 to 2025. Leveraging our core value of superior client service, we intend to continue to seek opportunities to expand relationships with existing clients.
•Attract new high-quality clients. We believe we have a significant opportunity to continue to further expand our client base. We have established ourselves as a leader within the tax and financial advisory sectors in the United States and believe our strong reputation for service excellence, our highly skilled multidisciplinary teams and our integrated cross-functional capabilities will continue to position us to win new clients going forward. Furthermore, the Andersen brand continues to be a valuable driver of business demand, with many clients associating the Andersen brand with professionalism and service excellence. We intend to invest in marketing initiatives to
9
further strengthen our brand awareness among potential clients, providing us with additional opportunities to attract new clients.
•Expand and add new service offerings. Our differentiated approach has helped to establish our reputation as a leading provider for tax and financial advisory services. We believe our strong reputation will help us to significantly expand the scope and scale of our service offerings. For example, we plan to target expanding the scope of our services in the near-term in areas including consulting, investment banking, global mobility and international legal services. We also believe that Andersen Consulting remains one of the most widely recognized and respected legacy brand names in professional services. We believe our relationship with Andersen Consulting will enable us to rapidly scale our ability to offer a broader range of consulting services globally. In addition to our near-term plans for expanding consulting services, we plan to continue evaluating expansion opportunities in areas where we have the potential to gain additional market share and become a leader in that area.
•Inorganic growth opportunities. We intend to continue to identify, evaluate and pursue potential acquisition targets and business combinations selectively. We intend to pursue acquisitions of, and business combinations with complementary businesses where we believe there is a strong cultural fit, as evidenced by alignment with our core values. While we will continue to be selective in our approach to acquisitions and business combinations, we believe there is a strong pipeline of inorganic opportunities, particularly as we look to expand our geographic footprint and consulting practice, both domestically and internationally.
•Expand business internationally. We intend to continue leveraging the Andersen brand’s strong global recognition and association with the highest standards of professionalism and service excellence to open new opportunities outside the United States. For example, we believe our relationship with Andersen Global, as well as the Andersen Consulting brand, provide us with clear opportunities to expand our international presence, both through closer partnership with member and collaborating firms and through future acquisitions and business combinations.
Our Clients
Our broad and diverse client base includes individuals, wealthy families, businesses, and institutional clients, demonstrating our ability to address a broad spectrum of needs across a multifaceted set of stakeholders.
Our business and investment fund client base is distributed across a wide range of industries, including financial services, consumer products, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, pharmaceutical and biotech, private equity, real estate, technology, and venture capital. This diversity supports the resilience of our business, as we are not reliant on one single set of clients or industry sector.
Because of our broad and diverse client base and the range of industries that we serve, we benefit from low client concentration. For example, our ten largest client groups combined accounted for approximately 5% of our revenue in each of 2025 and 2024. Our financial performance is further supported by the loyalty of our clients based on the quality of the long-term relationships we have built and the highly recurring nature of the services that we provide. In 2025, over 70% of our revenue was from client groups who have been doing business with us for over three years. We believe that our exceptional level of service and the expertise that we provide has enabled us to build long-lasting client relationships.
Our People and Human Capital Resources
To deliver our differentiated services, we rely on a team of highly qualified experts who are well-positioned to address our clients’ most complex challenges. We have assembled a multidisciplinary talent base of over 2,300 employees in 26 locations across the United States for the year ended December 31, 2025. Additionally, our relationship with Andersen Global provides us with access to over 50,000 additional professionals across more than 1,000 locations in over 180 countries as of December 31, 2025, enabling us to better serve clients across the globe.
Our differentiated talent strategy, informed by our cultural focus on stewardship and client service, is characterized by a low Managing Director-to-professional operating model and high ratio of client-facing employees.
We continue to focus on bringing multidisciplinary teams to our client engagements to support them across their most complex financial and tax matters. These teams are often composed of individuals with backgrounds in accountancy,

data science, economics, law and management consulting, reflecting the breadth of the services that we offer. Our professionals are also highly qualified in their respective fields. Client-facing professionals at manager level and above are typically required to attain and maintain professional licensure in their respective services. As of December 31, 2025, 87% of these professionals held professional licenses such as CPAs, CFAs, EAs, LLMs or JDs. In addition, 51% of these professionals held advanced degrees.
None of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We have not experienced any work stoppages due to employee disputes, and we believe our relationship with our employees to be good.
Sales and Marketing
Sales
Our sales efforts are led by our revenue-generating Managing Directors. They lead our highly skilled multidisciplinary teams to pitch for, and win, new business by leveraging their deep expertise in tax and financial advisory services, and our strong reputation for service excellence. All of our revenue-generating Managing Directors are directly involved in sales and business development activities. In addition to our Managing Director-driven direct sales efforts, we also benefit from a number of additional sales channels including inbound inquiries and referrals. These inbound inquiries are often driven by broader awareness of our business, supported by the Andersen brand, and by positive word of mouth from our existing clients. Our primary referral channels include existing clients and service providers that we partner with, including mergers and acquisitions providers, wealth advisors and law firms, who help support our robust sales pipeline.
Our sales efforts are further supplemented by our relationship with Andersen Global, which generates referrals and client introductions from international member and collaborating firms. As Andersen Global has expanded, we have also benefited from network effects that have created a growing pipeline of sales opportunities with an international component. We expect this to continue as the number of Andersen Global member and collaborating firms continues to grow over time.
In addition to winning new business, our sales efforts are focused on deepening existing client relationships by broadening the scope of our ongoing engagements and identifying additional services aligned with our clients’ evolving needs. We pursue a targeted strategy to introduce new services to existing clients, ensuring we deliver the full value of the Andersen platform on each engagement. As we continue to expand our service offerings, we selectively pursue areas where we can create meaningful value for our clients.
Marketing
Central to our marketing strategy is the strength of the Andersen brand, which we believe is synonymous with the highest standards of professionalism and service excellence. This brand provides our firm with strong name recognition and drives awareness of our offerings among prospective clients, many of whom have prior affiliations with the former Arthur Andersen, either as clients or employees.
To continue building on the strength of the Andersen brand we have made targeted investments in marketing. For example, we selectively sponsor key industry events and professional organizations that align with our mission and values. We are currently a Platinum Level Sponsor of the Tax Executives Institute and our professionals are frequent speakers at the Practicing Law Institute, American Bar Association, Council on State Taxation and other professional organizations which help us maintain a strong, visible presence in the professional tax community.
Our marketing efforts are also supported by our thought leadership initiatives. Publications, such as our widely distributed periodical For the Record, reinforce awareness of our expertise and help promote our service offerings. Through the work of the Andersen Institute for Finance and Economics, we also publish material that builds our credibility on critical topics regarding economic and public policy. We intend to invest further in marketing programs that drive awareness among potential clients and reinforce the strength of the Andersen brand.
Competition
We operate in a highly dynamic market and on the basis of a number of factors, including depth of client relationships, industry knowledge, transaction execution skills, our range of services, innovation, reputation and price. We face competition from a range of organizations and service providers on national, international and regional bases. Our primary competitors include:
11
•Large, global full-service advisory and consulting firms such as Deloitte & Touche LLP, Ernst & Young LLP, KPMG LLP, and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
•Other advisory and consulting practices, such as Grant Thornton Advisors LLC and RSM US LLP.
•Boutique and specialized tax and valuation advisory firms.
•Local providers in the tax, legal, advisory and consulting markets internationally.
•In-house tax and accounting departments of our clients and potential clients.
Some of our competitors have significantly more financial resources, a larger national or international network or presence, larger professional staffs and greater brand recognition than we do. Some have lower overhead and other costs and can compete through lower-cost service offerings, and may have the resources to make strategic acquisitions and business combinations more quickly than we do. We could experience additional competition as we expand our service offerings, enter new geographic markets and acquire businesses and enter into business combinations in the future.
We believe that our widely recognized and strong firm culture and values, combined with our globally recognized premium brand, integrated service platform and independence relative to traditional audit firms, provide us with strong and sustained differentiation from our competition.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of intellectual property laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our intellectual property. We require employees to sign written agreements at the start of their employment with us. These agreements generally require any confidential or proprietary information disclosed by us to remain confidential.
Our most important trademarks are the “Andersen” wordmark and our “Door” logo, which are registered in the United States and certain foreign countries. In the United States, the “Andersen” wordmark and our “Door” logo trademark registrations expire in October 2029 and November 2026, respectively. These trademark registrations can be renewed for successive ten-year terms, and we intend to renew these registrations for as long as we continue to use these trademarks. In foreign countries, our rights in those trademarks will continue in force, according to local regulation, until the end of the applicable registration periods, at which time we can and intend to renew the registrations for additional terms. These trademarks represent a reputation built over decades and are integral to our ability to attract clients, recruit top-tier talent, and maintain our competitive position. We offer licenses to member firms of Andersen Global to use certain of our registered trademarks in exchange for a license fee of 2% of the increase of the member firm’s consolidated net revenue for each calendar year, which is payable annually so long as a firm continues as a member of Andersen Global. Additionally, we require each partner firm of Andersen Consulting to enter into trademark license agreements with us to use certain of our registered trademarks in exchange for a license fee of 2% of the increase in the Andersen Consulting partner firm’s consolidated net revenue for each year, which is payable annually so long as a firm continues as a partner firm of Andersen Consulting. We do not believe that any individual intellectual property right, other than our rights in the “Andersen” wordmark and logo, is material to our business. Our services are not generally dependent upon patent protection.
