About Us

Since 1982, WBL CPAs + Advisors has been guided by a mission to build relationships that benefit our clients, associates, and community. In an industry increasingly shaped by mergers and acquisitions, WBL stands apart, fiercely independent and growing organically.

While many accounting firms have become part of much larger firms over the past decade, WBL has chosen a different path. Rather than merging, the firm has focused on expanding services both domestically, and internationally through Russell Bedford International, while continuing to build its local Atlanta team. This strategic choice reflects a deeper commitment to culture, client service, and long-term growth.

At WBL, our independence is more than a business decision, it's the foundation of who we are. Staying independent means we focus on building real, lasting relationships with our clients and our associates.

Answers You Need.
People You Trust.

WBL provides assurance, accounting, tax and business consulting services to middle-market companies and private clients in a variety of industries. Wherever you are in your growth cycle, whether you're here in Georgia or elsewhere in the world, that's where we meet you. Our specialty practices organize our services around your unique needs. We aren't the biggest firm in town, or always the least expensive, and we don't want to be. Our clients will tell you that we go above and beyond for them and consistently give them much more than they expect.
