Elliott Davis
Elliott Davis is an accounting and advisory firm headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, serving privately held companies, private equity groups, and publicly traded companies. Real estate is one of the industries it organizes teams around, alongside construction, financial services, healthcare, manufacturing and distribution, private equity, education, entertainment and sports, technology, and not-for-profit.
Services fall into tax, assurance and attestation, and advisory. Tax covers federal, state and local, international, and employment tax, high net worth work, and tax methods and credits. Assurance covers audits, reviews and compilations, employee benefit plan audits, attestation engagements, SOC reporting, and internal audit and quality assurance reviews. Advisory runs from business valuation, transaction advisory, and succession planning to client accounting advisory services, fraud and forensic accounting, litigation support, governance risk and compliance, human capital, operational excellence, and business turnaround, with a digital practice covering AI strategy, business systems consulting, and technology resilience.
The firm operates as an alternative practice structure: Elliott Davis, LLC is a licensed independent CPA firm that provides attest services, while Elliott Davis Advisory, LLC and its subsidiaries provide tax and business consulting and are not licensed CPA firms. It is an independent member firm of Moore North America, itself a regional member of the Moore Global Network. It describes itself as a top 50 U.S. accounting and advisory firm and lists nine offices across the Southeast plus one in Bengaluru, India; in August 2026 it announced 20 direct admissions across Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio, Colorado, New York, Illinois, Indiana, and Georgia.
Fees are not published and vary by engagement. Ask which entity would sign the engagement letter, since attest and advisory work sit in different firms, and which office would staff the account.
Best for
Southeast owners, developers, and funds that want audit, tax, and advisory from one firm with offices in the Carolinas and Tennessee. Companies needing an office outside the Southeast would still be served from those locations.
