About Aprio Advisory Group, LLC
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC is the advisory arm of Aprio, a Top 25 business advisory and CPA firm founded in 1952 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The firm provides advisory, tax, legal, wealth management, and talent solutions across all 50 states and more than 50 countries, with approximately 2,500 professionals and 30 U.S. office locations. The Topeka, Kansas office listed in the breach filing was added through Aprio’s acquisition of Mize CPAs Inc. and affiliated wealth management firm Prism Financial Group, LLC, announced in September 2025. Because Aprio handles sensitive financial, tax, and advisory data for its clients, a breach affecting names, Social Security numbers, financial account information, and medical information carries significant risk of identity theft and financial harm.
What Happened?
Aprio Advisory Group, LLC was listed in a Texas Attorney General data security breach report (record BR-0005354), published on September 21st, 2026. The breach was discovered on July 27th, 2026. A total of 2,557 individuals were affected. According to the filing, the compromised information included names, Social Security numbers, financial information such as account and credit or debit card numbers, and medical information. Affected individuals were notified by U.S. Mail. No additional details about the attack type or vector were publicly available at the time of writing.
This is not the first data security incident connected to the broader Aprio brand. RINA Accountants & Advisors — now known as Aprio — experienced a cyberattack on or around February 28th, 2022, that exposed personally identifiable information including Social Security numbers. A class action lawsuit arising from that incident, Richard Cresse v. RINA Accountants & Advisors, was settled for $400,000. No class action or public litigation connected to this specific 2026 breach has been reported as of this writing.

What Should You Do?
If you received a notice from Aprio Advisory Group, LLC, take steps now to protect yourself. Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name. Review your credit reports for free at AnnualCreditReport.com and watch for unfamiliar accounts or inquiries. Because medical information was among the data types listed in the breach filing, you should also review any Explanation of Benefits statements from your insurer and request copies of your medical records to check for errors or unfamiliar entries. Monitor your financial accounts closely for unauthorized transactions, and report any suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission at IdentityTheft.gov.
