Continuing a tradition that stretches back more than 25 years, INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) has unveiled its list of the Best of the Best public accounting firms in the nation for 2020. These top performers within the profession are ranked on more than 50 metrics. The 2020 Best of the Best firms produce superior financial results while planning for long-term, sustainable growth.
In 2020, more than 540 firms were eligible for this accolade by participating in IPA’s 30th Annual Survey and Analysis of Firms. The IPA Best of the Best firms are scattered across the U.S. and Canada and come in all sizes – from 9 employees to nearly 3,000.
“Best of the Best firms represent the top performers of their peer group, which is an exceptional accomplishment in the competitive world of public accounting. They excel by leaning in to help clients, being proactive, and seeking solutions – not just selling services,” says Michael Platt, principal of the Platt Group and publisher of the accounting trade publication, INSIDE Public Accounting. “And while most firms can boast ‘having good people,’ one hallmark that is common across Best of the Best firms is their ability to leverage their team and create employee opportunities by building a work environment that team members are excited about and proud to work for.”
“To those firms who have been on the Best of the Best list for many years, we offer a special tip of the hat,” says Kelly Platt, publisher of INSIDE Public Accounting. “Performing at a level of distinction year after year is a rare accomplishment that embodies what management guru Jim Collins describes as ‘moving from good to great.”
A full list of the 2020 IPA Best of the Best firms can be found on the INSIDE Public Accounting website.
