GMP is a member of Ascend Partner Services, a PE-backed growth partner. 

The GMP story began in 1982 when a group of seven professionals set out to create a better public accounting firm. Their goal was simple but ambitious: serve clients as trusted advocates for their businesses, their families, and their employees — while building a workplace free from micromanagement where professionals could flourish creatively, grow professionally, and maintain balance in their lives.

More than four decades later, that founding vision still drives everything we do. Today, GMP Advisors is a full-service public accounting and advisory firm headquartered in Tyler, Texas, with more than 100 professionals across Audit, Tax, Advisory, and Outsourced Accounting/CFO services. We offer the depth and breadth of a large regional firm while preserving the collaborative, people-first culture our founders built from day one.

We are in an active period of growth — expanding our team, deepening our service capabilities, and investing in the people who make it possible.
