The annual recognition by Forbes of America’s Best-in-State CPAs list highlights the finest in the profession: CPAs with impressive track records in their specialties, who have broken barriers to emerge as leaders in their fields, have contributed to advancing the CPA profession, and have given back to society. They come from a variety of backgrounds, specializations and geographic regions, from the profession’s Big Four to self-owned firms.
Candidates are evaluated in among ten weighted categories, including achievements, professional honors, influence on the profession, performance, thought leadership and community service. Although a CPA’s lifetime achievements are considered, emphasis is placed on their most recent accomplishments.
