Outstanding Status with the 2025 IPA Top 300 Firm

IPA uses a rigorous methodology to identify the best and fastest-growing accounting firms in the U.S. The IPA 500 is the most comprehensive ranking of public accounting firms by net revenue, from the Big 4 to No. 500. These rankings are based on IPA’s Annual Practice Management Survey, which receives responses from over 92 percent of participating firms—more than any other survey of its kind.

Each year, IPA also highlights firms achieving significant organic growth—a key measure of internal performance and long-term strength, separate from merger activity.

“We are honored to be recognized as a 2025 Top 300 Firm by IPA,” said Chris McDirmit, Managing Partner. “We attribute our success to adding value for our clients wherever possible by providing a comprehensive view of the surrounding business environment, challenges, and opportunities.”
