Our History

Habif, Arogeti & Wynne (HA&W) was formed originally in 1952 as Habif and Arogeti, by Isaac Habif and James Arogeti primarily as a real estate tax firm. The firm was located in the Healey Building downtown Atlanta, Georgia.

In 1963, Merrill D. Wynne joined the firm, bringing the total staff count to six people, including part-time staff. Mr. Wynne became a principal in 1970, and the firm changed its name to Habif, Arogeti & Wynne. Two years later, the firm moved to 1073 West Peachtree Street, occupying one-half of the lower level.

Mr. Habif retired from the firm in 1979 and Mr. Arogeti became president and managing principal. In 1986, Mr. Wynne took over as president and managing principal, and Mr. Arogeti became chairman of the board. At this time, HA&W had grown enough to take over the entire downstairs area. By 1988, the firm expanded upstairs, acquiring the entire 33,000 square foot building on West Peachtree. Jonathan Miller was elected managing partner of HA&W in 1994 and served as managing partner through 2003. In 2000, with expanded service offerings and more employees, HA&W outgrew the Midtown location and moved to its current location in Glenridge Highlands Two in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Dan Simms and Marc Kanne were identified to lead HA&W in 2004, with Mr. Simms serving as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Partner and Mr. Kanne serving as Chief Operating Officer.

HA&W is now one of the largest independent certified public accounting and business advisory firms in Georgia and one of the top 100 firms in the country. In fact, the Atlanta Business Chronicle ranks HA&W sixth in Atlanta, behind only the national firms. With 23 shareholders and more than 160 employees, HA&W continues to grow and expand services to meet changing client needs.
