Our History

Isaac Habif and Jimmy Arogeti started the Firm in 1952. Merrill Wynne joined the firm in 1962 and became a partner in 1970, and the firm name was changed to Habif, Arogeti & Wynne.

Since then, we have steadily expanded our services to meet the needs of our clients and HA&W has grown to be one of the 100 largest accounting firms in the country and the largest independent accounting firm in Georgia. While most of our clients are headquartered in the Southeast, we also serve a number of companies nationwide and internationally. With 30 partners and over 200 employees, HA&W continues to grow and expand services to meet the changing client needs. We have organized the firm into industry groups so our people know the particular regulations and special issues of the companies they advise. We have developed functional specialties in areas such as employee benefits, financial staffing, litigation consulting services, international tax, mergers & acquisitions consulting, asset management and many others, transforming our firm into a single source for all your financial needs.

In addition to traditional accounting and tax services, we also provide a wide array of financial solutions including management consulting, financial planning, technology consulting and financial staffing to clients in a variety of industries.

As a member of Baker Tilly International, we support our clients wherever they want to be. Baker Tilly International is a worldwide association of leading accounting firms, with affiliates in more than 90 countries. If you’re thinking of going global or already have, check out our locations. As we’ve expanded our service offerings and increased the number of employees, we outgrew our old home in Midtown in Atlanta, Georgia and have made a new home in Glenridge Highlands Two in Sandy Springs. After years of existing in two offices in Midtown, we are excited to have everyone together under one roof. We intend to continue our tradition of growth and optimum client-service in our new space.
