Congratulations to CPAmerica Members Recognized in Top 100, 200 and Best of the Best
Gainesville, FL (PRWEB) September 18, 2013 -- For 20 years, INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) has been naming the nation’s Best of the Best firms, Top 100 and Top 200. Firms that are recognized have delivered exceptional financial and operational performance in the most recent fiscal year.
Factors that make the 2013 Best of the Best stand out include a service mix with more non-traditional services, a focus on an international client base, opening ownership to non-CPAs, utilizing non-equity partners, and following best practices for staff development. The Top 100 and Top 200, which is in its 23rd year of ranking accounting firms based on their net revenues, reported three consecutive years of growth since the downturn that lasted through 2010 and some of 2011.
”We are excited to congratulate these eight firms on their achievement,” said Alan Deichler, president of CPAmerica. “The commitment that these firms have made to being great firms and to growth is very impressive.”
