For decades, Anthony Brunson has built his accounting practice around a straightforward proposition: Clients entrust firms with more than their financial records. They entrust them with decisions that can help determine the future of businesses, organizations and, in some cases, generations of wealth.
Now, one of South Florida’s prominent Black-owned certified public accounting firms is entering a new chapter.
Anthony Brunson, P.A., founded by certified public accountant Anthony Brunson, has formed a partnership with CPA Jean Borno and rebranded its public-facing practice as Brunson Borno & Associates. The move comes as the firm expands its presence across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and positions itself for continued growth throughout South Florida and beyond.
For Brunson and Borno, the partnership represents both growth and evolution bringing together their professional experience and leadership while preserving the reputation and client relationships the firm has built over decades.
“Our firm has always been driven by a commitment to excellence, and this partnership allows us to build on that foundation as we continue to grow,” Brunson, managing partner of Brunson Borno & Associates, said. “As we step into this new chapter, our focus remains on delivering exceptional service, building lasting relationships and helping our clients achieve long-term financial success.”
The firm provides a range of accounting and advisory services, including audit and attestation, tax planning and compliance, business advisory and entrepreneurial services. Its clients span a variety of industries and include businesses and organizations requiring financial expertise that extends beyond traditional tax preparation.
The partnership also elevates Borno into a leadership role as the firm broadens its geographic reach and advisory capabilities.
“Joining this partnership is an exciting opportunity to build on the firm’s longstanding reputation for integrity and excellence,” Borno said. “I’m proud to help lead the firm’s future while continuing to provide the trusted financial guidance and personalized service our clients deserve.”
The expansion comes at a consequential time for South Florida’s business community. As the region continues to attract companies, investment and entrepreneurs, accounting and advisory firms are increasingly being called upon to help businesses navigate taxation, expansion, regulatory requirements, financial controls and long-term planning.
Brunson’s accounting practice has been part of that business landscape for decades. Anthony Brunson, P.A. was incorporated in Florida in 1991 and remains an active Florida corporation. The firm also holds a current Florida CPA firm license.
The transition to Brunson Borno & Associates signals an effort to build upon that foundation while preparing the firm for its next generation of leadership and growth.
Its expansion across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties gives Brunson Borno & Associates a broader presence throughout South Florida, allowing the firm to deepen relationships with businesses, entrepreneurs, nonprofit organizations and other institutions across the region.
The growth also reflects the changing role of the accounting profession. Businesses increasingly look to CPA firms not simply to prepare taxes or conduct audits, but to provide strategic guidance on financial planning, organizational growth, risk management and long-term sustainability.
For Brunson and Borno, the firm’s next chapter is about more than expanding its footprint or putting a new name on the door. Together, they are focused on building an enduring institution — one grounded in professional excellence, trusted relationships and a shared commitment to helping businesses and organizations grow.
With their combined experience and a broader presence across South Florida, the two partners are positioning Brunson Borno & Associates for a future defined not simply by growth, but by the lasting value it creates for its clients and the communities it serves.
