Opsahl Dawson, One of the Country’s Leading Accounting and Business Advisory Firms, Celebrates Milestone Year

Strategic acquisitions and investments in services and talent position the Pacific Northwest firm for continued growth in 2025

Opsahl Dawson, a leading, independent accounting and business advisory firm in the Pacific Northwest, reflects today on an exceptionally active and successful 2024. The firm’s growth through acquisition, office expansion, services, and training and recruitment of top financial professionals solidifies its position as a leading accounting services provider in the Pacific Northwest in 2025.

Opsahl Dawson achieved significant revenue growth in 2024, surpassing $37 million, with a projected 22% increase in 2025. The firm has tripled its revenue over the past five years, and this impressive growth has earned Opsahl Dawson recognition as the third fastest-growing firm by Accounting Today and one of the top 300 firms nationwide by Inside Public Accounting.

“It’s an honor to highlight Opsahl Dawson’s achievements from the past year,” said Aaron Dawson, CPA, CEO of Opsahl Dawson. “From significant client expansion to expanding the size of our award-winning team, 2024 was a year full of important milestones. We’re proud of our strong foundation, and we look forward to maintaining this momentum in the year ahead as we continue to fulfill our responsibilities of providing first-class accounting and advisory services to businesses and families across the Pacific Northwest.”

Key transactional and growth activity included the acquisition of Hauser Jones & Sas (HJ&S), a Bellevue-based firm, evolving Opsahl Dawson into a super-regional firm while enhancing the breadth and depth of its capabilities through the integration of HJ&S’s expertise in audit, compliance, and advisory services. This integration strengthens Opsahl Dawson’s service offerings, particularly in the financial sector, with HJ&S’s specialization in credit unions, banks, and other financial institutions. Collectively, both firms have more than 60 years of experience and have built a reputation for trusted, reliable guidance in complex financial landscapes. Additionally, Opsahl Dawson has doubled its office presence to four locations, with the new office in Bellevue, Washington, joining its established locations in Lacey, Kelso, and Vancouver, Washington, further expanding its reach across the region.

As one of the fastest-growing accounting firms in the Pacific Northwest, Opsahl Dawson expanded its team to 180 employees in 2024, a more than 300% increase over the prior year. The firm also made significant investments in talent retention and development, promoting more than 15 employees to expanded leadership roles and placing another eight professionals on its Rising Star career path program to facilitate continued career advancement from within. In addition, in 2024 Opsahl Dawson doubled ownership opportunities in the firm to 34 employees, giving 18.6% of the Opsahl Dawson team a direct financial stake in the firm’s success.

As Opsahl Dawson builds on its strong foundation, the firm’s focus for 2025 centers on impactful initiatives such as expansion into Portland, Oregon; enhancements in service and technology; and industry recognition that will sustain its legacy of reinventing the accounting profession while expanding its footprint across the region.

“Driven by a relentless focus on client service, strategic partnerships, and investments in team and technology, 2024 has been a landmark year at Opsahl Dawson,” said Brian Smith, the firm’s Chief Growth Officer. “Our success last year was the direct result of the hard work of our talented team, whose constant pursuit of excellence delivers exceptional results for businesses and families. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re confident we will stay on this ascending path, bringing even greater value to our clients and driving sustainable growth for the firm.”
