THE 2015 IPA BEST OF THE BEST
INSIDE Public Accounting’s annual Best of the Best
recognition honors 60 CPA firms across the country for their
overall superior financial and operational performance on more
than 70 IPA criteria. The right combination of planning,
strategy and execution distinguish Best of the Best firms from
among more than 500 firms that participated in IPA’s 25th
Annual Survey and Analysis of Firms.
The IPA Best of the Best firms demonstrate long-term consistency and exceptional
performance in any economy – up or down. Exceptional client service, commitment
to firmwide training and prized staff benefits are features of the Best of the Best.
The IPA Best of the Best firms come in all sizes – from 25
employees to 2,300 – and are geographically dispersed across
the U.S.
“Best of the Best firms aren’t just successful in a financial
sense – they’re firing on all cylinders,” says Michael Platt,
principal of the Platt Group and publisher of INSIDE Public
Accounting. “We look at the whole firm: How do they treat
their employees? Are they offering specialized services to
their clients? Are they planning now for a new leadership team in
the future?”
Mike Platt
As in 2014, IPA has named 50 Best of the Best over $5 million and 10 Best of the
Best firms, under $5 million representing the top 10% of firms that participated in
this year’s survey. The 10 Best of the Best Under $5 Million are identified but not
included in the analysis. The top 25 Best of the Best are represented by large and
small firms, firms in large metropolitan areas and smaller cities, practices that are
highly specialized and some more traditional. IPA
