Aprio says it has entered into an agreement to acquire Phoenix-based Price Kong, a deal that would bring the accounting and advisory firm deeper into Arizona and add cannabis experience to its mix. The announcement was made May 6, 2026.
Aprio described itself as the 20th largest business advisory and accounting firm in the U.S. in the release. Price Kong is based in Phoenix, and Aprio said the move expands its Arizona footprint.
For Valley businesses, the part that stands out is the cannabis angle. Aprio already serves a range of industries, and adding Price Kong gives it another foothold in a sector that has its own rules, pressure points and accounting headaches. That kind of experience can matter a lot in a market like Arizona, where operators need advisers who understand both the books and the business.
The companies did not spell out every detail in the announcement, but the message was clear: Aprio is using the acquisition to grow locally while broadening the kind of clients it can serve. Written by Sonny Blaze.
