U.S.-based business advisory and accounting firm Aprio is strengthening its foothold in the Philippines with the launch of its second office in Makati City, marking a major milestone in the company’s rapid local expansion.
Located at KMC One Ayala Mall, the new office situates the company at the heart of Metro Manila’s bustling business district, offering employees a more accessible and collaborative workspace while supporting the firm’s growing service delivery capabilities.
The expansion comes as Aprio Philippines’ workforce surges to 400 employees by year-end — a remarkable 525% increase since the opening of its first local office in Clark Global City in April 2022.
“Aprio Philippines’ rapid expansion, showcased with our strategically located Makati office, underscores our commitment to both our global clients and our Philippine team,” said Dave Kothari, Global Solutions Delivery Leader and Partner at Aprio.
“This growth reflects the increasing demand for international talent and scalable, end-to-end service delivery across Aprio’s global network. By investing in our local office, we are not just expanding capacity, but we are strengthening collaboration and positioning the company to lead the next era of global transformation for our clients,” he added.
Scaling end-to-end service delivery
Aprio Philippines has emerged as a key hub for the firm’s international operations, providing comprehensive support across tax, advisory, assurance, wealth management, and business operations. Its teams focus on leveraging analytics, technology adoption, compliance modernization, and workflow optimization to ensure clients receive efficient and scalable solutions.
“By growing our Philippine workforce and infrastructure, we are better equipped to meet the demands of global clients while nurturing top-tier talent locally,” Kothari added. “Our teams in Makati and Clark work seamlessly to deliver high-quality services that align with the company’s global standards, helping clients navigate complex financial landscapes with confidence.”
The Makati office is designed with collaboration and flexibility in mind, reflecting the business advisory and accounting firm’s commitment to providing an environment where employees can innovate and deliver value across international markets.
For the Philippines’ professional services sector, the business advisory and accounting firm’s expansion signals growing opportunities for local talent to engage with global clients and cutting-edge business solutions.
From Clark to Makati: A rapid growth story
Aprio’s first Philippine office in Clark Global City opened with just 75 employees.
Since then, the firm has expanded aggressively, adding skilled professionals across multiple disciplines. Today, the company serves clients in industries such as Manufacturing and Distribution, Non-Profit and Education, Professional Services, Real Estate, Construction, Restaurant, Franchise and Hospitality, Government Contracting, and Technology.
The firm’s rapid local growth mirrors broader trends in the outsourcing of high-value professional services to the Philippines, driven by the country’s large pool of English-speaking talent and growing expertise in financial and advisory services.
Aprio is the brand under which Aprio, LLP, and Aprio Advisory Group, LLC, deliver professional services globally.
Established in 1952, the company has since built a reputation for guiding clients across more than 50 countries through audit, tax, advisory, and wealth management services. Its 2,800+ team members serve individuals, startups, and multinational companies alike, helping them build value, drive growth, manage risk, and protect wealth.
In the Philippines, Aprio continues to expand its reach and influence, combining global standards with local insights to support clients in achieving scalable, innovative solutions.
