W
hile we may some-
times find putting to-
gether our annual Top
100 Firms and Region-
al Leaders lists tiring, we never get tired
of the report itself.
For one thing, its constantly new.
The last decade has seen tremendous
changes in the accounting landscape,
with everything from major economic
trends to regulation to waves of M&A
re-arranging the profes-
sion. These changes are
reflected in the report
in the new firms charg-
ing up the ranks and the
old firms disappearing
through acquisition, in
the hiring and promo-
tion patterns, in the
movement toward and
away from certain niches
and client segments, in
the growth and decline
of parts of the country,
and so on and on.
While the changes
in rankings and the new
names on the lists are often the ones
that get the most attention, the myriad
other details may, in the end, give more
valuable insight into the profession.
That said, were always excited to
add new T100 Firms, like Ohios Sko-
da Minotti, New Yorks Prager Metis
International and Texas Montgomery
Coscia Greilich, and the many new
Regional Leaders youll find starting on
page 20. And were always anxious to
consider new firms for both lists, so if
your firm wasnt represented and you
think it should be, e-mail us at AcTo-
day@SourceMedia.com, and well put
you on our contact list.
For now, though, lets focus on the
2014 Top 100 Firms/Regional Leaders,
for which we received responses from
over 200 of the biggest and best firms
in the nation.
As a reminder, heres a quick tuto-
rial on our T100 guidelines:
Unless otherwise noted, revenue
is net revenue.
Also, unless noted,
firm revenues and offices
are for the U.S. only.
The Total Employ-
ees category is comprised
of partners, professionals
and other personnel.
Where two firms
reported equal revenue,
the firm with the high-
er percentage of revenue
increase will receive the
higher ranking.
MAS stands for
management advisory
services, or consulting.
Of course, a report this mam moth
is a team effort, and wouldnt be possi-
ble without the hard work of our man-
aging editor Tamika Cody, our senior
editors Danielle Lee and Roger Russell,
and Mike Cohn, editor of our Web portal
AccountingToday.com.
With that, its our pleasure to pres-
ent the 2014 class of the Top 100 Tax and
Accounting Firms and Regional Lead-
ers. As always enjoy!

T
hings are looking pretty good for
this years Top 100 Firms and Re-
gional Leaders.
There we said it. Things are
looking pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty
good. They face some issues, sure (well get
into those later), but for the most part, and
by most of the measures we include in this
report, things are looking up, and moving
in the right direction.
First off, this year marks the third
year of positive overall growth for the
T100 since the miserable low points
of 2009 and 2010, when their revenues
actually shrank. That growth has been
relatively consistent around the 8 per-
cent mark (this years is 7.81 percent),
and has also been relatively evenly
distributed among the three tiers into
which we divide the Top 100.
And thats where we find the first
of the statistics that make us think that
maybe things are just a little bit better
than OK. In the top tier of the Top 100,
we still have the six firms with revenues
of over $1 billion. But in the second tier,
of firms with between $100 million and
$1 billion, we have 25 firms three
more than last year. (See Databank,
page 5.) Yes, mergers and acquisitions
and inflation played a role in growing that
number, but so did the natural expansion
of strong firms. And while that only left
69 firms for the third tier with less than
$100 million, our Firms to Watch list of up-
and-comers who are hovering just below
the Top 100 matched last years record 35
members, even as we continued to leave
out those that were eligible by revenue, but
didnt show growth in 2013. (See Firms to
Watch, page 6.)
Theres more: While roughly the same
number of T100 Firms reported flat or
declining revenues for this years report
as for last years (10 in 2013, versus 11 in
2012), the number that grew by more than
20 percent jumped to 10, from six the year
before, and the number that grew by more
than 10 percent was a whopping 37, versus
27 in the prior year.
Among our Regional Leaders, too,
there were higher rates of growth, with
three regions posting double-digit per-
centage gains, against none in our report
last year. At the same time, though, we
should note that there was at least one
outlier on the other side, with growth that
slowed in 2013 though it didnt decline.
(See Regional Leaders, page 20.)
Thats the kind of thing we mean when
we say pretty good a fair number of
trends look positive, and then, just when
youre starting to feel a little too positive,
another, less happy trend will come along
and bring you back to earth.
Last year, it was the difficulty of scrap-
ing out growth in a highly competitive
environment. And while our T100 and
Regional Leader firms are still pursuing
growth in all sorts of niches and with all
sorts of clients (see Niches and Clients, page
10), the main trend thats keeping T100
Firm leaders up at night this year is the
War for Talent the intense difficulty
many are experiencing in finding and re-
taining qualified staff.
While its true that the number of
T100 Firms reporting flat or declining staff
numbers was down to 14, from 19 last
year, thats likely only because firms
have been stepping up their efforts
hiring recruiting directors, offering
hiring incentives, developing learn-
ing and training offerings, and gen-
erally going way out of their way to
get and keep the staff theyll need
to succeed going forward. (See Firm
Strategies,page 8.)
MOVERS AND SHAKERS
While there were no major shake-ups
on the lines of the CohnReznick merger
in the T100 list this year, there were lots
of small moves, and M&A definitely
played its role.
Long-time Top 100 fixtures Al-
pern Rosenthal and Holtz Rubenstein
Reminick both left the list, merging
into BDO USA and Baker Tilly Virchow
Krause, respectively. Many other firms got
a boost from M&A this year, including Con-
necticuts BlumShapiro, which jumped 11
spots on the list, and Ohios Hill, Barth &
King, which jumped a whopping 22 spots.
Only Pennsylvanias Reinsel Kuntz Lesher
managed a double-digit move, up 11 posi-
tions from last year.
Thats not counting the spectacular
entrance of Ohio-based Skoda Minotti to
the Top 100 at No. 80, with the highest
growth rate of any firm on the list (and,
its worth noting, a much higher growth
rate than any firm on last years list). Also
Third times the charm?

graduating from last years Firms to Watch
list to join the T100 this year was New York-
based Prager Metis International, while
the third new T100 Firm this year, Texas
Montgomery Coscia Greilich, was one that
hadnt previously been part of our survey.
A number of firms joined our Re-
gional Leaders list in the same way this
year, from Virginias PBMares and Wash-
ington, D.C.s Tate & Tryon, to Atlanta-
based Windham Brannon, the Mid-Atlan-
tics Perelson Weiner and Untracht & Early,
St. Louis Mueller Prost, Houstons Melton
& Melton, Oregons Perkins & Co., and
Californias NSBN.
If you think your firm should be one of
our Top 100 Firms or our Regional Leaders,
drop us an e-mail at AcToday@SourceMe-
dia.com, and well add you to our contact
database.
After all, things are starting to look
pretty good out there for accounting firms.
If you can keep finding ways to grow and
the staff to support that growth next year
should be even better.
There, we said it. AT
OVERVIEW

BEYOND THE TOP 100: FIRMS TO WATCH
Our Firms to Watch list is all about movement: New firms are constantly moving in, and others are moving up. In fact, the tier of firms with between
roughly $20 and $30 million seems to be growing apace, forming a deep and wide pool of strong candidates for joining the Top 100, either as members
in their own right, like this years FTW graduates Prager Metis International and Skoda Minotti, or by acquisition into a T100 Firm, as with last years
merger of former FTW Gainer Donnelly into Southeast mega-regional Carr, Riggs & Ingram.

firm strategies
T
he Top 100 Firms are all over the
map, in many ways. Literally, to
start, they span the country, to
say nothing of a wide range of
industry niches, management models,
growth strategies, and cultures. But no
matter their size, whether they offer exotic
advisory services or the plainest of vanilla
audits and tax work, and regardless of their
stance on value pricing, they do all share
one common binding thread: Theyre
freaking out about finding qualified staff.
The war for talent is back on, warned
Armanino LLP managing partner Andy Ar-
manino. We are seeing more and more
competition from outside our profession
and we need to plan accordingly. We also
know that change is a constant in todays
world. Merger mania is real. New compa-
nies are being launched. New information
is coming at us faster than we can compre-
hend. We need, more than ever before, a
workforce that can engage with and adapt
to this new reality. Hiring and retaining the
best and brightest talent is the new com-
petitive advantage.
Qualified professionals are being
sought after by a number of good firms,
said Louis Grassi, managing partner and
chief executive officer of New York-based
Grassi & Co. As such, typical efforts of
recruiting, including the utilization of re-
cruiters, have become less effective in find-
ing experienced, quality professionals. Be-
sides establishing a supportive culture and
a healthy work-life balance, Grassis firm
has put in palce a very robust employee
referral program that accounted for more
than 50 percent of new hires in 2013.
Firms across the country are employ-
ing a wide range of strategies to attract and
retain qualified staff and some firms
are going so far as to hire people solely to
manage them. California-based Gallina,
for instance, hired its first-ever director of
recruitment and development last year,
with responsibility for multiple new initia-
tives, according to MP Larry Taylor.
At Kentuckys Mountjoy Chilton Med-
ley, MP Diane Medley said, We are very
focused on our talent. We are starting a
formal leadership development program
this year, selecting our rising stars with
the most potential for equity partnership
to participate. We also actively engage our
Next Generation Committee in critical is-
sues to help us consider growth, attraction
and retention for the future.
Recruitment and retention can bene-
fit enormously from a less-frequently cited
R recognition. National firm McGladrey
made a point of highlighting its top tal-
ent in a series of videos on its Web site as
part of its Personalities Wanted recruit-
ing campaign (the messaging for which
was embedded in all of its social media),
and has seen the results. Thats not its only
personnel-related investment, of course,
and merely making the investments is
not enough. Investing in recruitment,
professional development and work-life
programs is essential, said national pub-
lic relations director Terri Andrews. We
are continuously re-assessing practice
and processes to create the best possible
experience for our current and potential
employees. And our people tell us were
focused on the right things. They did that
through the McGladrey People Survey,
which assesses a broad range of employee
engagement and satisfaction measures.
Several firms highlighted efforts at
building up their staff with educational and
career development offerings, with some
developing their own internal institutions
of higher learning: BKD CEO Ted Dickman
pointed to his firms BKD University, a vir-
tual on-demand learning and leadership
development platform that landed the firm
on Training magazines Training Top 125
list, while Sikich LLP CEO and MP James
Sikich touted the investment made in his
firms Sikich University, an internal learn-
ing and development program that trains
staff in technical and soft skills.
For its part, Big Four firm KPMG went
to the source. The need for highly skilled
talent is a top priority, said chair and CEO
John Veihmeyer. In addition making a stra-
tegic priority of diversity, We work close-
ly with universities, our main workforce
pipeline, to promote learning and skillsets
our professionals need, and emphasize the
importance of global and diverse perspec-
tives and technological savvy.
At Louisianas Postlethwaite & Netter-
ville, meanwhile, CEO (and current Ameri-
can Institute of CPAs chair) William Balhoff
noted the firms increased focus on leader-
ship development and soft skills training
at all levels but also highlighted its busi-
ness development training curriculum.
After all, hiring and keeping a great
staff only makes sense if you can bring in
work for them do.
GETTING COMPETITIVE
Accounting firms are operating in a highly
competitive environment, noted Weiser-

Armanino is alive to these concerns.
The dynamics of our profession require
constant change. Our products and serv-
ices need to keep pace with those of our
clients. Providing traditional accounting
services will only prove ineffectual. Whats
needed is a best-of-breed approach to tak-
ing on current and future tax and account-
ing challenges if were to succeed and our
clients are to prosper. While well always
need to maintain our core competencies,
there should be no lack of acceleration in
our ability to integrate cutting-edge solu-
tions strategic and technological into
our products and services offerings. The
long-term viability of our firm relies on it.
Other firms are aiming to stay on the
cutting-edge though not always specifi-
cally through technology. Wayne Berson,
CEO of BDO USA, is concerned about
enhancing the value of the audit: It is
clear that in order for the professions core
element to remain relevant, there will have
to be an expansion of the auditors role in
providing greater insight into the clients
financial statements and perhaps varying
degrees of assurance on areas outside of
the financial statements. This will affect
firms of all size by requiring substantially
more business and analytical skills and
may also result in a demand for more spe-
cialists to be involved in audits.
Big Four firm KPMG is engaged in a
similar pursuit of the new and improved.
We continue to focus on innovation and
the enhancement of our offerings and ca-
pabilities for specific industries and growth
areas, said chairman and CEO John Veih-
meyer. Were also continuing to build out
our alliance ecosystem to help create new
services, enhance existing services and
extend the KPMG brand promise to meet
the needs of clients in new ways. Last year
the firm rolled out a number of alliance-
based offerings created in conjunction
with various partners to offer clients more
focused services and solutions.
Crowe Horwath, meanwhile, took in-
novation even one step further by nam-
ing its own chief innovation officer. We
are most focused on, and are investing
in, innovation as a driver of growth where
we can bring together functional exper-
tise, industry knowledge, along with proc-
ess and technology to provide high-value
solutions, explained CEO Charles Allen.
Many of these solutions will be focused in
broader assurance services that the inves-
tor community and stakeholders in public
interest entities are requesting. AT

nternational tax remained the highest
growing niche service this year for the
2014 Top 100 Firms, increasing 6 per-
centage points over 2013 reports, ac-
cording to this years 77 responding firms.
State and local taxes grew 7 percent-
age points to be the second-most common
area of growth and bringing it even, at 82
percent, with business valuations, which
similarly expanded 8 percentage points in
2014. Rounding out the top four again this
year was attest services, growing 2 percent-
age points to 75 percent.
Leading the pack in year-over-year
growth, unsurprisingly, was mergers and
acquisition, which saw an 11-point uptick
in 2014, with 70 percent of firms reporting
increased business.
Below that, many services saw double-
digit increases in firms reporting growth;
most notably, SOX compliance/risk man-
agement saw a list-high rise of 16 percent-
age points to bring it to 53 percent. Tech-
nology consulting and personal financial
planning also had strong 2014 gains of 12
and 11 percentage points, respectively.
ON THE GROUND
Doug Wright, partner-in-charge of inter-
national tax and transfer pricing services
at California-based firm Burr Pilger Mayer,
attributes the continued growth in inter-
national tax services to an unusual conflu-
ence of economic recovery, globalization,
and the tax and regulatory issues of about
a dozen years ago that brought the niche
to prominence.
Basically, its navigating the perfect
storm, he said. Weve had a lot of changes
in the way in which not just the U.S. but
foreign countries monitor and scrutinize
international business transactions from a
tax perspective. The kind of international
tax and accounting standards that the U.S.
has applied for some time now have been
adopted increasingly by countries outside
the U.S.
Along with the tightening accounting
standards that followed corporate scandals
like Enron, these regulatory concerns have
led companies to take more initiative in
their overseas business, Wright explained.
Theres a kind of heightened sense of cor-
porate responsibility were seeing, where
companies want to make sure theyre do-
ing things in the appropriate way and are
not going to be attacked by the IRS or
foreign taxing authorities or are not viewed
as unethical. We frequently see situations
where, before companies engage us to do
a major global project, they talk to other
companies that have done it. Not to get a
referral on us, but to talk to other compa-
nies. They didnt do similar planning in
the past, so [they want] to understand how
that planning was ultimately viewed by the
IRS and foreign tax authorities.
This kind of due diligence tends to
be pre-emptive, Wright continued. They
dont want to see their names in the news-
paper as caught up in substantial litigation
in the U.S. and outside the U.S. Corporate
executives have a heightened awareness
that they need to do things properly, and
do them upfront. ... Companies [used to]
just expand internationally and deal with
some of these issues after the fact the

cart leading the horse. Now theres much
more awareness and sensitivity, tax and
otherwise. At our firm, we have a phe-
nomenal amount of new international tax
planning and consulting work and new
clients coming our way, including very
early-stage companies as they expand.
When Wright joined BPM more than
five years ago, he was the firms first and
only full-time international tax special-
ist, and while he has grown that practice
to the largest in the firm for the last three
years, the now roughly 12 full-time tax
professionals in the practice cant keep up
with all the new work. He estimates that
his group can only serve half of the op-
portunities that come their way, but shares
that finding experienced specialists in the
extremely complex area of international
tax is exceedingly difficult.
Atlanta firm Habif, Arogeti & Wynne
has been doing international work of all
sorts, particularly with their manufactur-
ing and technology clients, since the early
1990s, and now has roughly 70 people in
that service line who speak 26 different
languages among them.
Though HA&W is also a member firm
of global accountancy and business ad-
visory network Baker Tilly International,
chief executive officer Richard Kopelman
credits most of the firms growth in this
niche to the inbound, grass-roots effort
with the people from those countries.
International tax aligns with our
manufacturing and technology niche and
dovetails really well, he explained. We do
as much business inbound as outbound.
ADDING VALUE
Nearly all of the client categories for this
years Top 100 Firms displayed strong
growth this year, with manufacturing lead-
ing the list at 82 percent, a 9 percentage
point gain over last year.
Manufacturing overtook 2013s lead-
er, midsized businesses in general, by only
one percentage point. Midsized businesses
saw a modest 4 percentage point increase
this year though real estate, ranked behind
it, recorded a big 12 percentage point rise
to bring it to 77 percent.
Only two other categories on the list
surpassed that gain this year: construction,
which increased 14 percentage points to
66 percent of responding firms, and, much
farther down the list, small businesses,
which at 44 percent also recorded a 14
percent increase over last year.
Central Pennsylvania-based Rein-
sel Kuntz Leshers location gives it an
advantage in this market, according to
Steve Fisher, a partner in the firms audit
services group and leader of the manu-
facturing and distribution services group.
In the past ten to 20 years, companies
were leaving that were not as involved in
manufacturing, but some of that is com-
ing back now with longstanding compa-
nies in manufacturing in that region, he
explained. And a lot of them arent in
manufacturing, but in bringing good over-
seas and distribution channels. There are
a lot of opportunities.
RKL has capitalized on them, Fisher
continued, by evaluating specific client
needs. One thing weve done in the past
year is a focus group with financial folks,
owners, consultants that touch consum-
ers in the manufacturing and distribution
area. We said, What do you need, what
are your expectations of people provid-
ing tax and audit services? And whether
we can do it and align with them to help
fulfill their needs, and bring value. When
you hand them a financial statement or tax
return, it looks the same no matter who did
it. Were responding, communicating, and
trying to educate folks and arm them to do
these things and help across the market.
We go through the proposals and differen-
tiate ourselves. AT

CPAMERICA INTERNATIONAL HELPS YOUR FIRM
CPAmerica International association
members are independent CPA frms
that beneft from practice management
support, continuing education and the
sharing of best practices to grow.
S
ince our Regional Leaders both repre-
sent a broader range of firms in terms of
size, and bring with them the particular
economic conditions of their geographic
regions, the trends here tend to be less clear than
among our Top 100 Firms.
One anti-trend that weve noticed is the lack
of correlation between the size of a region in terms
of its overall firm revenues, and its growth rate.
The Mid-Atlantic Regional Leaders, for instance,
have combined revenues almost twice as large
as the Great Lakes Regional Leaders but an
average growth rate thats around half, while the
Southwest has revenues that are slightly less than
those of the Capitol Region, but is growing five
times as fast. Local economic conditions make all
the difference, of course, but the point that size is
not everything is worth making.
Unless, of course, youre talking about the
size of our lists for each region. Weve been grow-
ing them steadily over the past few years, and are
happy to report a large number of new additions
this year, many of which are highlighted in the
introductions to their individual regions.
If your firm should be on one of our Regional
Leaders lists, send us an e-mail at AcToday@
SourceMedia.com, and well include you in next
years survey. AT

Top Firms: Capital Region
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia

Growth moderated in the Southeast in 2013, coming in a few percentage points lower
than in 2012, but that didnt stop individual firms from posting some strong results, like

Top Firms: New England
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont
Revenue: $366.61 million, up 9.49%
After a lackluster 2012, things picked up significantly for the region in 2013. M&A played a major part, with firms of all
sizes getting into local and regional hookups, and large firms like Connecticuts BlumShapiro and Rhode Islands Kahn,
Litwin, Renza & Co. leading the way. Going forward, it will reshape the list in other ways, following the January 2014
merger of Massachusetts Regional Leader Braver PC into Top 100 Firm Marcum LLP.

The ongoing boom in oil, gas and energy, as well as distance from various man-made and natural disas-

Top Firms: West
California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington
Growth is spread a little more evenly among the firms in the West this year, with strong rates at the top firms, but equally
good performances scattered up and down the range. While some of the other regions saw re-arrangements and even
shortenings of their rosters due to mergers and acquisitions, firm combinations didnt change the list for the West much
at all. In fact, the list itself grew a little longer, with the addition of new Regional Leaders Perkins & Co., in Portland, Ore.,
Peterson Sullivan, in Seattle, and NSBN, in Beverly Hills.

T
he release of our annual Top
100 Firms/Regional Leaders
report is always a matter of
some pride for us, but we are
particularly pleased by two aspects of
this years edition.
First of all, were happy to report
that the growth we reported last year
seems to have taken hold, with the firms
on both lists generally reporting strong
results for 2012. We wont call it the
new normal just yet (that
will have to wait until you
turn the page), but the
signs are encouraging.
Second, were also
happy to report that our
lists keep growing, too.
There are still only 100
members of the Top 100,
of course, but a number
of them are new, like New
Yorks Grassi & Co., Ken-
tuckys Mountjoy Chilton
Medley, Californias Ma-
cias Gini & OConnell
and New Jerseys Wiss &
Co. But where new firms
are really showing up is in our Regional
Leaders lists, where were able to high-
light a much larger number of firms.
Ever since we incorporated the Regional
Leaders into our Top 100 report four
years ago, weve been working hard
with the cooperation of growing firms
of all sizes from across the country to
expand the roster of those recognized,
and were very pleased to present more
this year than ever before.
That said, were always anxious to
consider new firms for both lists, so if
your firm wasnt represented and you
think it should be, e-mail us at AcTo-
day@SourceMedia.com, and well put
you on our contact list so youll receive
an invitation for next years survey.
For now, though, lets focus on the
2013 Top 100 Firms/Regional Leaders,
for which we received responses from
just under 200 firms.
As a reminder, heres a quick tuto-
rial on our T100 guidelines:
uUnless otherwise
noted, revenue is net rev-
enue.
uAlso, unless noted,
firm revenues and offices
uThe Total Employ-
ees category is comprised
of partners, professionals
uWhere two firms
reported equal revenue,
the firm with the higher
percentage of revenue
increase will receive the
higher ranking.
Of course, a report
this mam moth is a team effort, and
wouldnt be possible without the hard
work of our managing editor Tamika
Cody, senior editors Danielle Lee and
Roger Russell, technology editor Seth
Fineberg, and Mike Cohn, editor of our
Web portal AccountingToday.com.
With that, its our pleasure to
present the 2013 class of the Top 100
Tax and Accounting Firms and Regional
Leaders. As always enjoy!

ormal isnt what it used to be
but it also isnt what it was
before that, either.
In fact, for a profession
thats a byword for consistency and tradi-
tion, public accounting has been chew-
ing through standards of normalcy at
an unprecedented pace, coining a new
one every few years. First there were the
high times of the years before 2007,
when revenues skyrocketed and you
couldnt hire staff fast enough. (Slogan:
Our growth strategy is picking up the
phone.) Then there were the cruel re-
trenchments and disappearing clients
of the slump, when the best you could
hope for was to hold your own. (Slogan:
Flat is the new normal.)
Then theres now.
Now, we should point out, actu-
ally began in 2011, and was first report-
ed in last years Top 100 Firms report.
But we had to wait until the 2012 num-
bers came in to see if we could identify
any kind of trend and we did.
Call it the new new normal, or
NNN.
It involves growth, were happy to
say overall revenue growth for the
Top 100 Firms of 8.03 percent for 2012,
and roughly similar figures for each of the
three tiers into which we divide the T100
(the six firms with revenues over $1 billion,
the 22 with revenues between $100 million
and $1 billion, and the 72 with less than
$100 million). (See Databank, page 5.)
Eleven T100 Firms reported flat or declin-
ing revenue, the same number as last year
(which was down from a depressing 44
the year before), and 27 percent reported
Far fewer firms reported declining
staff numbers, with only 19 in that camp
for 2012, as opposed to 32 in 2011. Roughly
the same number reported flat or declin-
ing partner numbers (49 firms in 2012,
against 47 firms in 2011). (See the Top 100
Rankings, page 15.)
In our Regional Leaders listings, too,
growth was relatively common and fairly
evenly spread. Whereas it was hard to find
in 2010, and all over the map in 2011, with
some regions rocketing ahead and others
languishing, the NNN shows growth rates
converging in a narrower band, with the
conglomerated leaders in most of the re-
gions clustering around growth rates of 7-8
percent, and the outliers going no lower
than 5 percent, and no higher than 10
percent. (Obviously, individual firms far
out- and under-performed those numbers,
but the regional averages were far more
restrained than in 2011, which saw growth
range from 1 percent to as high as 20 per-
cent.) (See Regional Leaders, page 20.)
Average rates of growth, though, dont
tell just how hard it is to come by and in
the NNN, its a lot harder to come by than it
was in the middle of the last decade. Firms
are seeking it out diligently amping up
their marketing efforts, rolling out new
services, and digging in to both new niches
and old service lines to spot opportunities
they can exploit. (See Firm Strategies, page
8, and Niche Services and Client Categories,
page 12.)
LESS MOVING AND SHAKING
This new state is definitely a diligent,
hard-working, heads-down kind of
normal, and that may have contributed
to the relative stability of the Top 100
roster very few firms made big leaps
in rank, either up or down.
The high-profile combination
of past T100 stalwarts J.H. Cohn and
Reznick Group to form CohnReznick,
and the debut of CliftonLarsonAllen,
formerly Clifton Gunderson and Lar-
sonAllen, saw both new firms appear
in significantly higher positions on the
list than their component parts, and
both Frazier & Deeter and Squar Mil-
ner managed respectable jumps, but
by and large the T100 roster was domi-
nated by small moves.
Four notable exceptions to that
involve this years new members of
the T100 New Yorks Grassi & Co.,
Californias Macias Gini & OConnell, Ken-
tuckys Mountjoy Chilton Medley, and New
Jerseys Wiss & Co. All made very strong
debuts, and all, it should be noted, were on
our Firms to Watch list last year. This years
Firms to Watch (see page 6) is well worth
a look, as mergers and hard-won growth
have swelled the ranks of firms with rev-
enue between $20 million and the lower
cutoff of the Top 100. Weve got a record-
breaking 35 firms in that bracket this year,
against only 19 for last year and we
hit that even after excluding a number of
firms with qualifying revenues because

they didnt show growth in 2012.
On the subject of larger lists, well
draw attention to the fact that our Regional
Leaders lists are also larger this year, as
we continue to add new firms from the 10
different areas into which weve divided
the country. Were pleased to be able to
include strong newcomers like New Yorks
Prager Metis International, Pennsylvanias
Kreischer Miller, Minnesotas HLB Tautges
Redpath, Massachusetts Alexander, Aron-
son, Finning, Texas Maxwell Locke & Rit-
ter, and Californias Matson & Isom.
Were hoping to add even more next
year if you think that your firm belongs
on any of our lists, drop us an e-mail at
AcToday@SourceMedia.com.
In the meantime, keep working: The
opportunities in the new new normal
wont just jump into your lap. Theyll re-
quire more marketing and more thinking,
new strategies and new niches, and maybe
the occasional merger. As this years Top
100 Firms and Regional Leaders prove,
though, they are available at least until
the next normal comes along. AT
OVERVIEW
from page 4
Were happy to say that we are reviving an old tradition in our Firms to Watch list: For the past few years weve been including just about any firm that
came close to the Top 100 revenue cutoff, regardless of whether they actually grew in the previous year, but this year were back to requiring that they
also have displayed growth. Even as a significant number of promising firms move up into the T100, so many others are expanding rapidly in the tier
just below the T100 that we were able to reinstate the the old condition, and still present an impressive list of up-and-comers.

firm strategies
Y
ou would think that the Top
100 Firms, having achieved that
lofty plateau, would be satisfied.
You would think that they could
comfortably rest, knowing that their tal-
ented staff and good reputations would
see them through.
Youd be wrong.
The Top 100 know that its no lon-
ger enough to be well-respected, to have
skilled technicians, to care about your cli-
ents. Those are necessary for success, but
theyre not sufficient in this new, far more
competitive post-recessionary environ-
ment. To stay competitive, firms have to
find new differentiators and new ways to
stand out from the crowd, whether that
crowd is potential clients or would-be em-
ployees. When we asked the 2013 T100 how
theyre staying competitive, they replied
with a vast array of initiatives, but the ma-
jority fell into four main categories three
of which are directly aimed at making the
firm stand out, while the fourth focuses on
strengthening the firm internally.
MARKETING
When it comes to making a firm stand out,
marketings a fairly obvious tool, yet the
profession as a whole has been slow to
adopt it. This years Top 100 Firms, though,
expressed serious interest in the area.
We are planning to dedicate signifi-
cant additional resources to marketing,
said Armanino chief executive and man-
aging partner Andrew Armanino. Its in-
teresting because accountants take a while
to accept the concepts of marketing and
business development, whereas consul-
tants embrace these things quite naturally.
Now, however, our accounting leadership
has seen the power of marketing and seen
our consulting practice grow exponentially
because it has been supported by a true
marketing and sales infrastructure. Not
surprisingly, they now want the same thing
to boost their revenue and expand their
client bases. Thus, we plan to double down
on marketing by significantly increasing
the number of live events, surveys, free
webinars, and content products we offer.
Armanino walks the walk, having recent-
ly gone through a complete rebranding
(it was previously known as Armanino
McKenna), and hosting its own internal
marketing and PR agency.
New York firm Grassi & Co., a new-
comer to the list, is another of the many
T100 Firms that are dedicating more time
and effort to marketing. We are making
a concerted effort to increase our brand
awareness in the Metro New York area,
said CEO and MP Louis Grassi. Build-
ing our brand is essential to help drive
profitable revenue growth. The firm will
be hosting more brand-building events,
advertising in industry and business pub-
lications, and launching a radio campaign,
among other things.
According to Jeffery Capron, manag-
ing member of Aronson, his firm is on the
same page: In 2013, we will put a renewed
focus on marketing and business develop-
ment, particularly as it relates to search
engine optimization, social media and an
improved proposal process.
MAKING
Letting people know how different you
are is valuable, but it helps to actually be
different, and for many of our Top 100,
that means focusing on nurturing the new
new services, new products, new tech-
nologies and more.
We are most focused on and are in-
vesting in innovation as a driver of growth
where we can bring together functional ex-
pertise, industry, process and technology
into a high-value solution for the market,
said Crowe Horwath CEO Charles Allen.
This year, as a statement to our people
and the market, we plan to appoint a chief
innovation officer to lead that effort.
At Marcum, MP Jeffrey Weiner can
already share a list of innovations and new
services the firm has rolled out, from its
MicroCap Conference to its new Marcum
Commercial Construction Index, and it
plans to launch a new survey of middle-
market companies in 2013.
And at McGladrey, the firm is using
an icon of innovation to spark its own.
McGladrey provided all employees with
iPads earlier this year, explained national
public relations director Terri Andrews,
and the firm has been developing its own
applications for them. The continued de-
velopment of unique apps will enhance
integration, effectiveness and efficiency
across the firm.
Innovation doesnt necessarily have
to have a touchscreen, though for many
its simply offering a new service line that
wasnt available to its clients before (see
our Firm Highlights section for a broad
sampling). It can also mean finding a new
way to bring value to their clients. The
newly formed CohnReznick, for instance,
created its new Capital Markets Advisory
Consortium to bring together its clients
who are seeking ways to raise capital and
grow their business with investment bank-
ers to advise them.
MERGING
Sometimes the best way to stand out from
the crowd is, well, to buy the crowd or
at least enough of it to boost you up above
it. Many of the Top 100 gave notice of their
intention to merge and acquire vigorously
and frequently, but always strategically.
Wayne Berson even made M&A part
of his platform during the firm vote that
recently elevated him to CEO of BDO USA:
T100 make a priority of standing out

As I stated when I was elected, I plan
to pursue an aggressive growth strategy
with acquisitions playing a leading role.
He wasnt kidding, either his taking up
his new post more or less coincided with
the firm merging in Top 100 Firm Argy,
Wiltse & Robinson, and a major player in
Philadelphia, Asher & Co. Moving for-
ward, well continue to look for deals that
add geographic coverage in new strategic
markets, provide better critical mass in
existing major markets, or bring additional
resources in industry or service strengths.
At Berdon, meanwhile, chief market-
ing office Kayte Steinert-Threlkeld prom-
ised that the firm would pursue strate-
gic acquisitions and mergers to augment
existing service areas and develop new
service lines.
MANAGING
Finally, the last major category of competi-
tive initiatives that the Top 100 are pursu-
ing involves building up their own internal
sources, and managing them better.
Reinsel Kuntz Lesher chief adminis-
trative officer Yvonne Rosenbaum said that
the firm is concentrating on cross-utilizing
talent across the firm, and better deploy-
ing our resources. Under expanded lead-
ership at the functional level and depart-
ment level, our firm will continue to focus
on firmwide synergies and resources. We
will also be expanding our administra-
tive infrastructure to position ourselves for
growth in the future.
Other firms are also aiming to fo-
cus more tightly on their strategies. Our
partners now are using a new goal-setting
system to improve partner accountability,
and, in turn, ensure that we are all focused
on our strategic objectives, according to
Bonadio Group founder and chief execu-
tive Thomas Bonadio.
Still others are preparing for structural
changes. Carr, Riggs & Ingram is moving
to a corporate structure beginning in the
fall of 2013, according to MP William Carr.
This will allow our staff members to fur-
ther specialize by industry and better serve
our clients.
And Berkowitz Pollack Brant is taking
a proactive approach to an issue that has
already started engulfing the profession:
We are carefully planning and managing
the first two director retirements we have
faced, said CEO Richard Berkowitz. The
goal is to create a replicable model for fu-
ture retirements. AT

ax services remained the top ar-
eas of growth for the 2013 Top 100
Firms, as both state and local taxes
and international tax remained the
two most common sources of growth for a
second year among the responding firms.
Though the two niche services swap-
ped places this year, with state and lo-
cal taxes passing international taxes for a
slim lead, both reported a steady increase.
SALT climbed five percentage points over
last year and international tax was up two
points, but it was estate/trust/gift tax plan-
ning in the third spot that made one of the
biggest leaps in 2013, of nine percentage
points and three spots up the list to 78 per-
cent of firms reporting growth in the area.
Business valuations continued its
positive trending of the previous year, up
three percentage points, though down one
notch on the list to No. 4. In the fifth spot,
litigation support was up seven percentage
points and two spots, at 74 percent. Mean-
while, the services occupying the next five
spots all reported slightly lower gains than
last year, except for industry specializa-
tions, which was an area of growth for the
same 62 percent of firms.
Doeren Mayhew has been ramp-
ing up its international tax business for a
while, according to shareholder and chair-
man of the board Mark Crawford, but with
the continued recovery of the automo-
tive industry, where the firm has a large
manufacturing client base near Detroit, its
international tax business has particularly
picked up in the last year to the tune of 20
percent growth. The manufacturing world
has become much more profitable, and
much more international, he explained.
A lot of firms are doing business overseas,
especially in the automotive supplier area,
and its generating a lot of opportunities in
the international back area.
With the recent uncertainty around
the fate of the estate tax exemption and
lifetime gift tax exclusion laws, Last year
was a crazy year for Eide Baillys estate/
trust/gift tax planning work, according to
partner-in-charge of services Mike Astrup.
Last year, we saw where the opportu-
nity was to take advantage of the tax laws
out there, said Astrup, who reports 25 per-
cent revenue growth in that area. Estate
planning is one of those things thats easy
for clients to put off, but some motivating
factor seemed to get their attention, and
high-net-worth people were taking a look
at their options. [The tax laws] were prob-
ably a big driver.
Eisner Amper attributes its 10 percent
growth in litigation services to work in sev-
eral areas, according to David Politziner,
partner-in-charge of the firms Litigation
Services Group, including breach-of-con-
tract disputes; intellectual property and
patent infringement cases, particularly in
the pharmaceutical industry; matrimonial
litigation, with divorce in this country
maintaining a high level of work for us;
and bankruptcy litigation, as companies
are trying to re-organize since the reces-
sion of 2008.
Economic shifts also boosted the
firms litigation services group as a whole,
which added two partners and eight staff
in the last year. In a bad economy, on one

side, people cannot afford lawsuits, and on
the other side they cant afford to not have
lawsuits, he explained. You see a mix-
ture of pent-up lawsuits during a recession
because people cant afford it, and all of a
sudden when the recession starts to lessen
and the economy turns, you see lawsuits
that have been waiting to happen.
SPECIALTY SERVICES
Manufacturing overtook midsized busi-
nesses as the top growing client category in
2013, with 78 percent of firms reporting an
increase to propel it five percentage points
higher than last year. Midsized businesses
dropped three points and one spot to 74
percent, just ahead of nonprofit organiza-
tions, which increased eight percentage
points to take the third spot at 71 percent.
Technology clients were right be-
hind nonprofits, with a seven-point boost
putting it up two spots at 70 percent. The
next four client categories were all up over
2012, with construction making the biggest
climb, up two spots on the list and four
percentage points to the No. 8 spot, with 56
percent of firms reporting growth.
Doeren Mayhew has witnessed many
of its 350 Detroit- and Houston-based
manufacturing clients gain new business
in the last year. The manufacturing com-
panies that made it out of the recession pe-
riod of 2008 to the middle of 2012 all seem
to be much more profitable, with many
of them having record years, Crawford
shared. They are looking at additional
opportunities, looking to buy other com-
panies and expand business, whether do-
mestically or internationally. Were seeing
a lot of mergers and acquisition activity in
that line to help the growth profile.
Mauldin & Jenkins partner Jeff Fucito
credits the firms specialized approach with
expanding its roster of nonprofit clients.
In general, nonprofits are continuing to
grow in the U.S., more and more, he said.
Were more focused, working with very
new nonprofits, but a lot of new clients are
established nonprofits. Its not necessarily
a trend of more nonprofit organizations,
but a perceived expertise of what were
offering, with a specialized practice and
devoted resources to it.
Specialization was also key for firms
with a growing base of technology clients.
California firm SingerLewak provides serv-
ices unique from its regional competitors,
according to Bob Green, partner in the
firms business risk and technology serv-
ices practice, which along with strategic
business development helped increase
his departments inbound leads for IT ad-
visory services 300 percent since last July.
Theres been a change in the last
year, of the firm making a cognizant effort
to be more aware of the specialty services
that the firm provides its bigger than
providing tax and audit, Green explained.
Were going to markets with specialized
IT consulting, brought out as, Heres what
differentiates our firm. Were deeper in de-
livering services that are deeper than most
in our region for our size.
Jennifer Alterwitz, vice president of
marketing and communications at SC&H
Group, similarly attributes the firms suc-
cess with technology clients to specific
services and its ongoing bench of highly
specialized people within those areas,
which include the cloud. Now, a huge ini-
tiative in the industry is, how do you tax the
cloud, Alterwitz said. With so many of-
fering it, and software being sold as cloud-
based applications, states are struggling
with how to tax those specific areas, and
consequently tax managers are finding it
difficult to make sure the firm is reporting
from a perspective thats addressing all
these new tax laws still in discussion. She
shared that SC&H has an even more ag-
gressive growth plan for these technology
clients in the next five years. AT

O
n average, 2012 was better all
around for our regions than
2012. It may not have had
some of the same merger-
fuel ed dizzying highs, but it didnt have any
of the doldrums, either.
Growth clustered around 7 percent,
with the Gulf Coast Region an outlier on
the upside at almost 10 percent, and the
Mid-Atlantic Region, New England and
the Midwest on the downside, all around
a perfectly respectable 5 percent increase
in net revenue.
If mergers and acquisitions didnt
quite set the numbers on fire, they still
remained a major force in shaping the
regional landscape. Two Alabama-based
firms, Carr, Riggs & Ingram and Warren
Averett, continued to snap up firms across
the Southeast and the Gulf Coast Regions,
and the combination of J.H. Cohn and
Reznick Group catapulted the resulting
firm to the lead spot in the Mid-Atlantic
Region. (It would also hold the top spot in
the Capital Region, but we dont double-
count firms that straddle regions.)
Among the biggest rebounds was the
Mountain Regions jump from just over 2
percent growth in 2011 to over 7 percent
in 2012, in part on the backs of very strong
performances at Anderson ZurMuehlen
and Anton Collins Mitchell.
But the Southwests switch from an
anemic 2 percent in 2011 to over 8 percent
growth in 2012 remains the most impres-
sive change, wrought by a combination of
frequent mergers and the ongoing strength
of the oil and energy industry in which so
many Southwest firms specialize. AT
Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and West Virginia
The Capital Region took a purely statistical hit in revenue, with last years No. 1 firm, Reznick Group, team-
ing up with Mid-Atlantic Regional Leader J.H. Cohn to form CohnReznick (now counted in the Mid-Atlantic
Region, where its headquarters is), and No. 5 firm Argy, Wiltse & Robinson merging into national firm BDO
USA but the firms that remained managed a very strong 7.2 percent growth rate.

The Regional Leaders around the Gulf of Mexico showed very strong growth of almost 10 percent not
quite the blistering 19 percent of 2011, but still the strongest of all the regions. And again, it was helped by
a strong market for M&A.

Top Firms: Mountain
After a difficult couple of years, the Mountain Region turned in a strong performance in 2012, growing revenues
over 7 percent, helped in no small part by strong growth at top firms EKS&H and Hein, and the truly impressive ex-
pansion of Denvers Anton Collins Mitchell. On a side note, we should point out that while RGL is headquartered
in the region, it has an impressive array of offices around the country, and around the world.

After a weak performance in 2011, the Regional Leaders in the Midwest picked up their pace, and grew by over 5 percent
in 2012. Many of the smaller leaders far outperformed that, though, led by St. Louis-based Anders, which rechristened
itself from Anders, Minkler & Diehl and merged with Huber, Ring, Helm & Co. to grow its revenues by over 45 percent.

The Southeast Region recorded one of the strongest growth rates in the country in 2012,
at almost 8 percent. That was only about half the rate of 2011, but then it didnt have the
high-profile merger that created Dixon Hughes Goodman to bolster it. It should be noted
that many of the Southeast leaders also operate in other areas, like the Capitol Region
where both DHG and Cherry Bekaert are strong and the Gulf Coast.

The Southwest sizzled this year, with the second highest growth rate among our regions
at 8.1 percent, a far cry from the relatively weak 1.96 percent it showed in 2011. While Weaver
retained its top spot in terms of revenue, Whitley Penn remained the leader in growth, in-
creasing its revenues by over 30 percent, in no small part due to its merger with Houstons
Null Lairson.

more than 5 percent. While many firms in the region participated in M&A mania, there were none of the high-profile
grabs that reshaped last years roster; in fact, the top six Regional Leaders all kept the exact same spots.

Top Firms: West
At almost 8 percent, the Regional Leaders in the West grew appreciably faster in 2012 than in 2011, with high-charged
growth spread among firms of all sizes, and all up and down the West Coast. Two of the top three firms Armanino and
Novogradac grew by over 15 percent, while one of the newest members of our T100 roster, Macias Gini & OConnell,
grew by over 20 percent. The leader in growth, though, was new Regional Leader Matson & Isom, which makes its first ap-
pearance in this report after growing over 27 percent.

f someone were to deliver a State of
the Union address on the accounting
profession, it undoubtedly would fo-
cus on forgive the redundancy
the state of unions.
To say that one of the most oft-
heard acronyms reverberating through-
out the profession over the last year was
M&A would not be mere hyperbole, but
rather reflective of the mind-numbing
volume of firm marriages and com-
binations in 2011. And
to achieve that scope of
activity despite a still-
uncertain economy and
increased competition
from firms above and
below is perhaps all the
more impressive.
Blockbuster mergers
among this years Top 100
Firms such as those
between Clifton Gunder-
son and LarsonAllen, or
Dixon Hughes and Good-
man not only added to
the length of our tradi-
tional footnotes column,
but promise to play hav-
oc with the T100 rankings ladder, as the
synergy of many of the 2011 unions will
vault the combined entities upward and
onward toward the top.
So with that as an entre, welcome
to our 2012 Top 100 Firms report, the
Silver Anniversary of this study (which
some long-time Accounting Today read-
ers will know began as a Top 60), and
the third year we have augmented this
popular annual feature with a listing
of the nations top Regional Leaders
throughout 10 geographic areas. This
year we received responses from rough-
ly 200 firms, which only serves to under-
score the magnitude and popularity of
this annual undertaking.
As always, a quick tutorial on our
T100 guidelines:
!Revenue, unless its otherwise
noted, is net revenue.
!Also, unless noted, firm revenues
!The Total Emp-
loyees category is com-
prised of partners, pro-
fessionals and other per-
sonnel.
!In a case where
two firms report equal
revenue, the firm with the
higher percentage of rev-
enue increase will receive
the higher ranking.
This project, like any
other we publish, was the
result of a well-synchro-
nized team, led by our
own in-house Eli Man-
ning managing edi-
tor Dan Hood. Big thank
yous also go to our senior editors Roger
Russell and Danielle Lee, technology
editor Seth Fineberg, and Mike Cohn,
editor of our Web portal, Accounting-
Today.com.
With that, its our pleasure to pres-
ent the 2012 class of the Top 100 Tax and
Accounting Firms and Regional Lead-
ers, an order that will surely change in
the years to come. Enjoy!

F
irst, the good news: After two years
of decline, and with a major assist
from a boom in mergers, Account-
ing Todays 2012 Top 100 Firms
grew their revenues in 2011 by almost 8
percent, even as they boosted their overall
staff numbers and expanded into a wide
range of new service areas.
Ordinarily, this is the point where we
would bring up the bad news if there
were any. But while there are a few
minor notes of gloom, and plenty of
caveats, there really isnt any bad news.
If we cant quite proclaim that the pro-
fessions economic troubles are over
(weve made that mistake before), we
can at least say that things have begun
moving, however slowly, away from the
stasis of last year.
Start with the headline number:
revenue growth of 7.89 percent. Un-
like last year, all three tiers of the T100
the six firms with revenue of over
$1 billion, the 23 firms with revenues
between $100 million and $1 billion,
and those below $100 million were
pointed up, with growth figures around
the same range. (See Databank, page
5.) Only 11 firms reported flat or de-
clining revenues, against 44 last year,
and 25 firms managed to grow their rev-
enues by over 10 percent. Similarly, all
three tiers reported increasing numbers
of partners, professionals and overall staff.
And while 32 individual firms reported a
decline in their total number of employees,
and 47 reported flat or declining numbers
of partners, thats against 62 and 55 firms,
respectively, last year.
Things, it seems safe to say, are look-
ing up.
There are a number of reasons for the
positive outlook, but two stand out. First is
that accounting firms have been launching
new service lines, exploring new practice
areas, and pursuing new opportunities in
existing lines. Many, for instance, are beef-
ing up their international tax or health care
practices to serve the ongoing increase in
client demand for those services; others
are creating entirely new units in areas as
wide-ranging as alternative energy, debt
collection, and marketing. While the pro-
fession has always done this, the depths
of the recent recession lent an urgency
to what had been, in the past, a leisure-
ly process, and firms are innovating and
branching out as if their future depends
on it which it may. (See Firm Strategies,
page 8, and Niches and Clients, page 12.)
This expansion has been important,
but it places a distant second compared to
the other source of growth for this years
Top 100: mergers and acquisitions.
FASTER AND FASTER
M&A has become so common in the ac-
counting profession that it cant really be
considered a trend anymore: Its an inte-
gral part of the professional landscape, as
normal as tax season, and as predictable
as complaints about the next generation of
accountants.
Its here to stay and in 2011, it ac-
celerated. Over half of the Top 100 engaged
in M&A in the past year, with 55 firms of-
ficially reporting at least one merger, and
many reporting more than one. (See Firm
Highlights, page 27.) We know of a few
more that merged in other firms, but
didnt bother to report it; an indication,
perhaps, of just how commonplace
M&A has become.
These unions know almost no
boundaries: Large firms court other
large firms while gobbling up the mid-
sized and the small; the midsized band
together for strength while bulking up
on small firms and making themselves
attractive to the large; and the small
firms gain scope and scale by flocking
together, or by merging up.
Take, as an example, LarsonAllen.
Everyone knows that the Top 100 Firm
merged with the similarly sized Clifton
Gunderson to form CliftonLarsonAl-
len, a move that will propel them into
the Top 10 Firms. (The merger took
effect in January 2012, so the two re-
ported separately for 2011.) But in all the
excitement over the formation of Clifton-
LarsonAllen, whats sometimes overlooked
is that LarsonAllen grew its revenues over
25 percent and climbed four spots on the
list this year due to a whole series of acqui-
sitions of smaller firms that it completed
in 2011, before inking the deal with Clifton
Gunderson. (See Firm Rankings, page 15.)
Or take Dixon Hughes Goodman.
Created at the beginning of 2011 from the
combination of Southeast super-regional
Dixon Hughes and Virginia powerhouse
Goodman & Co., the firm climbed seven

spots in the Top 100 and grew its revenues
by over 52 percent and still managed
to find time in 2011 to acquire a midsized
firm in Virginia.
Heres another example: Warren Aver-
ett emerged this year as a major player
in the Top 100 and the Gulf Coast by
combining three firms Warren, Averett,
Kimbrough & Marino, OSullivan Creel,
and Wilson, Price, Barranco, Blankenship
& Billingsley. Together, the three vaulted
an astonishing 42 spots on the Top 100, to
No. 34, and grew their combined revenue
almost 130 percent.
And if proof were needed that M&A is
here to stay, we can already tell you about
a deal that will make a major impact on
our 2013 Top 100: In June 2012, T100 Firms
Eide Bailly and Wipfli are due to merge,
a combination that will move them from
the low 20s on the list to the low teens.
(Though its wise to remember that merg-
ers dont always pan out: T100 Firm Burr,
Pilger & Mayer was due to merge with
major Southern California firm Windes
& McClaughry, but the two called it off in
early February of this year.)
RESHAPING REGIONS
With deals at all levels, its no surprise
that M&A had a major effect on our Re-
gional Leaders, as well. All 10 regions grew
in 2011, and most by more than in 2010
(if they grew in 2010 at all, which some
didnt), and its no coincidence that the
two regions that grew the most, the Gulf
Coast and the Southeast, are home to War-
ren Averett and Dixon Hughes Goodman,
as well as a number of other acquisitive
firms. (See Regional Overview, page 20.)
Mergers change the regional lists in
ways other than boosting revenue, though:
Many of our Regional Leaders are precisely
the kind of practices that large national or
super-regional firms like to grab, either as
an entre into a particular region, or just to
boost revenue. New England in particular
has seen a number of its largest independ-
ent firms go this way, including two this
year. (See Regional Leaders, page 21.)
As an engine of change, its hard to
deny the overwhelming impact of firm
M&A. And as an engine of growth in dif-
ficult times, it has certainly proven useful
for the Top 100 and the Regional Leaders.
With two decades worth of Baby Boomer
retirements coming, and a highly competi-
tive professional landscape, look for it to
continue even as times get better. AT
OVERVIEW
from page 4
As more and more firms join the Top 100 whether by bulking up through acquiring other firms, or by being absorbed by already established mem-
bers of the list a new cohort of firms is moving up into the market space just below the T100. These rising firms have often grown large on mergers
and acquisitions of their own, and are strong contenders for the ranks of future T100 Firms.

firm strategies
T
rudging through a still-fragile econ-
omy coupled with battling ongoing
profession-centric concerns such
as recruiting and retention, client
fee pressures, and the omnipresent threat
of competition, many of the 2012 Top 100
Firms have implemented an array of inter-
nal and external strategies in an effort to
grow their books of business while main-
taining their high levels of client service.
Whether making acquisitions or com-
pleting a merger both of which were
prolific in 2011 starting new service
lines, implementing employee programs
or recruiting top talent, the T100 spent
much of last year bolstering their ranks
and business plans as the fight for client
market share intensifies.
At McGladrey, for example, 2011 rep-
resented quantum change for the firm as
RSM McGladrey was re-united with Mc-
Gladrey & Pullen, with which it had oper-
ated under an alternative practice struc-
ture. As such, the firm enhanced its focus
on a number of what it termed specific
priority industries, such as financial ser-
vices, government and education, com-
mercial real estate, and food and beverage
and hospitality.
Citing talent acquisition and retention
as one of the critical issues facing the firm,
McGladrey hired some 450 employees last
year and promoted 25 to partner-principal
level. It said that it would also revamp its
onboarding process and reformat its Web
site and collateral material for recruiting.
Along the lines of recruiting, Califor-
nia-based Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt
has expanded its sophomore and junior
collegiate recruiting programs in order to
fill the human capital pipeline earlier in
the educational process. The firm, which
reported a 6 percent boost in year-over-
year revenues, indicated it has also estab-
lished a Compliance Group in an effort to
help streamline the tax-prep workflow, as
well as helping it remain competitive in
the pricing of both business and personal
tax preparation.
NEW LINES OF CLIENT SERVICE
In an effort to drive growth, Clark, Schae-
fer, Hackett & Co. expanded into contigu-
ous Ohio markets such as Toledo with its
acquisition of Brell Holt, as well as launch-
ing a Private Equity Group as a response to
increased client interest in mergers, as well
as non-bank options for financing.
In 2011, T100 Firm Holtz Rubenstein
Reminick unveiled a total of five new ser-
vice groups, including debt collection,
food and beverage, early stage technology,
real estate advisory, and freight forward-
ers, a unit that offers accounting, tax, audit,
multi-state income and franchise tax com-
pliance, transfer-pricing guidelines, and
logistics technologies for small and large
companies moving freight.
The Bonadio Group, a regional firm in
Upstate New York that cited client compe-
tition and increased pressure from the Big
Four as one of its major concerns in 2012
and beyond, augmented its traditional
service offerings with high-value services
such as valuations, fraud and forensics,
and turnaround services.
New York City-based Berdon, which
just recently appointed two co-managing
partners to succeed 25-year managing
partner Stanley Freundlich, revealed that
it expanded its personal business man-
agement team services to now include
meeting the needs of professional ath-
letes and similar high-net-worth individu-
als in a family office-type structure that
ranges from bill payment to retirement
planning and post-career entrepreneurial
opportunities. Berdon also enhanced its
litigation group to capture opportunities in
areas like valuations, damages, intellectual
property disputes, and forensics.
Aronson was another firm that es-
tablished and formalized a new practice
line specifically its Technology industry
Services Group, which was created to meet
the accounting and consulting needs of
both high tech and biotech firms. Just
recently the firm rolled out Champion Re-
cruiting LLC, offering placement services,
and internally restructured and rebranded
its software solutions practice under a new
moniker, Aronson Systems Group.
ORGANIC GROWTH VS. M&A
Arguably no T100 Firm was as busy in the
M&A space as LarsonAllen, which, prior
to its blockbuster combination with T100
Firm Clifton Gunderson, made strategic
acquisitions in the Florida, Boston, Seattle,
Dallas and St. Louis markets. The new en-
tity created by the union with Clifton, Clif-
tonLarsonAllen, will, according to Larson-
Allen CEO Gordy Viere, focus on providing
services to privately held companies, gov-
ernment entities and nonprofits via a trio
of now-integrated entities an assurance,
tax and consulting arm, a wealth advisory
firm and an outsourcing firm.
Although it cited an uncertain econo-
my as one its primary concerns, Northern
Californias Armanino McKenna reported
an almost 18 percent spike in revenue
a surge that managing partner Andy
Armanino attributed to its IT consulting
and CFO advisory services, as well as high-
er revenues from its three-year-old AMF
Media Group, which he said has tripled
in headcount and revenue since its in-
ception. The unit provides clients with
marketing, branding, public relations and
social media strategies.
Another T100 Firm busy on a number
of fronts was Wipfli, which, among other
things, unveiled a series of new service

sors, a corporate finance subsidiary. Aug-
menting those initiatives was a new digital
forensics lab, and TechPro, a proprietary
tool that allows nonprofit and government
organizations to manage their information
security and governance IT.
The newly created Warren Averett
a 550-member power in the Southeast
with 11 offices under an agreement with
Rodl Warren Averett, its joint venture con-
cern, opened a Korean business services
office in Alabama in the Korean Automo-
tive Corridor, which specializes in serving
U.S.-based subsidiaries of Korean entities.
In July, Pennsylvanias Reinsel Kuntz
Lesher expanded its reach to include se-
nior services, acquiring the Senior Living
Consulting Group of ParenteBeard, a move
that added one partner and one principal
to the firm. Internally, RKL expanded the
use of its client portal, giving its clients
24/7 access to documents, and completed
the virtualization of the firms servers and
implemented an HR information system
to help address a number of recordkeeping
and operations issues.
In 2011, SC&H Group MP Ronald
Causey revealed that the firm underwent
a process that identified key revenue and
client areas. As a result, the firm developed
a go-to-market strategy that encompasses
in-depth brand research studies with cli-
ents, prospects and firm employees, with
the results used to develop messaging,
positioning and marketing plans.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND YOUNG STAFF
A number of T100 Firms have boosted
their use of social media, most notably
New Jersey-based WithumSmith+Brown,
whose two highly publicized in-house
dance videos went viral online. The most
recent one also highlighted its end-of-the-
year merger with EisnerLubin, as well as
serving as a recruiting conduit to lure new
and prospective young employees to the
firm. WS+Bs Garden State competitor, J.H.
Cohn, also used various social media out-
lets to attract employees, and as a vehicle
to keep clients abreast of news in the firm.
To help groom younger staff members
for their careers in the firm, Alpern Rosen-
thal has created a three-tiered program
and a succession blueprint that carries
them through various points of their ten-
ure with the Pennsylvania-based firm.
In a similar vein, Bruce Madnick,
managing partner at New York-based
Friedman, said that the firm began an
initiative titled Build Its Bench Strength, a
program that identifies the next groups of
future partners and potential leaders who
are slated to be groomed and mentored
over the next several years. AT

top tax firms
THE TOP TAX FIRMS
As with our Top 100 overall, 2011 was a better year for the Top Tax Firms in the country with the notable exception of franchiser Jackson Hewitt,
which filed for bankruptcy shortly after last tax season; needless to say, the company didnt report any figures for 2011. Those tax firms that made it
through, though, mostly reported growing their revenues, despite ongoing problems finding banks to provide RALs. Even H&R Block, which reported
a slight decrease in overall revenue, noted that it had prepared over a million more returns in 2011 than in 2010.

T
ax services were a large source
of growth for the 2012 Top 100
Firms, with both international
and state and local taxes mak-
ing big gains to top the list of the fastest
growing niche service areas. International
tax services ranked first, making one of
the biggest leaps, of nearly 11 percentage
points and five spots from last year, with 77
percent of firms reporting growth.
State and local taxes were close be-
hind, with 75 percent of firms reporting an
increase, catapulting the niche up six spots
this year to second on the list.
Business valuation, though overtaken
from 2011s top spot, remained steady and
down only one percentage point, with 74
percent of firms tracking expansion. Attest
services made a big climb of nine percent-
age points to 2012s No. 4 spot, but with 15
percent more firms reporting growth than
in 2011, this years biggest climber was
cash-flow forecasting and management
up eight spots to 43 percent.
Gary Milligan, managing partner of
tax at Crowe Horwath, attributed the firms
double-digit growth in international tax
for the past three years to greater legal
implementation and more businesses op-
erating overseas: The primary driver of
our growth has been in the transfer pricing
area. We are seeing a lot of heightened
enforcement of tax laws in this area, and
the clients are being scrutinized more. As
clients and businesses grow and begin to
have operations in other countries, this is
when transfer pricing comes into play.
When William Mueldener, national
director of state and local tax for Denver-
based Hein & Associates, joined the firm
from the Big Four five years ago, he helped
establish the practice, which has since seen
30 percent annual increases. According to
him, the growth that mid-market firms are
now experiencing in this niche reflects the
increases experienced by the Big Four 20
years ago. States are hurting for revenue
and theres an emphasis on the state side
for how to increase revenue states have
gotten more aggressive in asserting what
laws are out there and have revisited gray
areas in tax law, he explained. Another
scenario is the changing technology; so
much is changing in the way services are
delivered and how companies operate
general business and day-to-day functions
that doesnt fit in to the tax codes written in
the 1930s and 1940s.
There are also more than a few rea-
sons for the continued strength of busi-
ness valuation, according to Jay Gibson,
shareholder in business valuation at
Southeast firm Elliott Davis, which re-
corded 39 percent growth in the area for
the fiscal year ending in June, and is pro-
jecting at least a 25 percent increase in the
next. Part of it is the regulatory issues out
there, and the uncertainty of the political
situation whats going to happen in the
election and where estate and gift tax are
going to fall out with rates, he said. The
other piece in valuation is that valuations
related to litigation corporate divorce,

marital divorce always seems to be
hanging around. Theres an uptick in the
corporate divorce arena, with sharehold-
ers parting ways and valuations related to
buy-sell agreements.
The greater need for transaction work
in todays mergers and acquisitions-heavy
climate was also a contributor to the gains
in attest services, according to Beth Kieffer
Leonard, managing partner at Minneapo-
lis firm Lurie Besikof Lapidus & Co.: Over-
all business growth also helped. People are
going back to the bank looking for those
services again, she explained.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Midsized businesses were the largest-
growing client category again this year,
retaining the top spot by growing nearly 11
percentage points to an overall 77 percent
of firms reporting.
Manufacturing, tracking progress at
73 percent of firms, leapfrogged last years
No. 2 category, nonprofits, with the help of
a 10-percentage point increase.
Rounding out the top three was real
estate, making an even bigger climb of four
spots with the help of 65 percent of firms
reporting growth. Meanwhile, the three-
percentage-point dip in the nonprofit cli-
ent category dropped it two spots.
In the positive column, technologys
eight-point increase from 2011s survey
vaulted it up three spots. Other categories
recording significant gains included large
businesses and hotels and restaurants.
Lurie Besikof Lapidus & Co.s Midwest
shelter from the more severe economic
downturn on the coasts also protected its
midsized clients, according to Leonard. A
lot of the work weve done in the downturn
was to position ourselves in a positive way
to attract new opportunities, she said.
Companies that survived and have done
well some have had one of the best years
theyve ever had in 2011. If they survived
through the downturn, they had a really
robust year.
Richard Kopelman, partner at Geor-
gias Habif, Arogeti & Wynne, partially cred-
its the firms regional presence for its boost
in manufacturing clients. The Southeast
is seeing a lot of growth, with a lot of auto
manufacturers moving into the Southeast
in the last 10 years, which has brought a lot
of suppliers in the area, he said.
For his firm, this has translated into
the signing of nine companies with rev-
enues averaging over $75 million in the last
three months and the feeling that, The
tipping point has been hit.
Location also played a vital role for the
widening pool of real estate clients at New
York-headquartered Friedman. We are
very fortunate to be in New York, said Jay
Goldstein, the firms head partner of real
estate. New York is somewhat insulated
from the real estate problems throughout
the country. The rest of the country is
suffering a slowdown, especially in the
commercial area. But we handle national
companies pension funds who invest in
real estate, among other things through-
out the country. This has helped the firms
practice revenue grow 10 to 15 percent in
the last year, he said.
Geographical advantage was also ap-
parent in the rise of technology clients for
Silicon Valley-based Mohler, Nixon & Wil-
liams, though managing and audit partner
Steve Vidlock also attributed this to wider
economic recovery: [Technology] com-
panies that deferred having audit services
performed in the last couple of years are
coming back into the market a bit. Pricing
pressure is still a challenge, but as things
improve in the marketplace, that gets bet-
ter as well. AT

ACT T100 2012 p15-26.indd 18 2/22/12 5:18:30 PM

uch like our Top 100 Firms,
our Regional Leaders had
a decent 2011, with all 10
regions reporting growth.
And as with our T100, mergers played a
major role in how the year unfolded, both
for the firms and for the regions.
In 2011, the regions fell into three
bands: those with extremely high growth
overall, those with perfectly respectable
growth, and those with growth that was,
if not wildly exciting, at least better than
in 2010. Rocketing ahead were the South-
east and the Gulf Coast, with the Regional
Leaders there reporting combined growth
of 18 percent and 19 percent, respectively.
It should come as no surprise that these
regions are home to two of 2011s biggest
firm mergers the combination of Dix-
on Hughes with Goodman & Co. to form
Dixon Hughes Goodman at the beginning
of the year, and the creation of Warren
Averett at the end of the year, from Warren,
Averett, Kimbrough & Marino, OSullivan
Creel, and Wilson, Price, Barranco, Blank-
enship & Billingsley.
Moving along at a reasonable pace
were the Mid-Atlantic Region, the Great
Lakes, New England, the Capital Region,
and the West, all with growth between 4.5
and 6.5 percent. Mergers reshaped the
terrain in all of these, as well, and in many
cases created new ties between regions, as
witnessed by the number of Mid-Atlantic
Regional Leaders, particularly from the
New York Metro area, that made moves
into New England.
Bringing up the rear were the Moun-
tain Region, the Southwest and the Mid-
west, with growth rates ranging between
1.1 and 2.2 percent. While that may seem
low, it should be noted that the first two
grew faster than they did in 2010, when the
Mountain Region actually contracted, and
that the Midwest was only off a little from
2010, while suffering the loss of one of its
major firms, LarsonAllen, which became
a national firm through you guessed it
a series of mergers.
It should be remembered, though,
that geography is not destiny: There were
low-performing firms in the leading re-
gions, while the Southwests Whitley Penn
and PMB Helin Donovan grew by over 16
and 12 percent, respectively; the Mountain
Region is home to standouts like Squire &
Co., which grew by over 11 percent; and
the Midwest hosts RubinBrown, which
grew by almost 14 percent, in part by fur-
ther expanding into the Mountain Region
by acquiring a major Denver firm.
RubinBrown exemplifies the trend
that we mentioned above: Many of our
Regional Leaders are moving into adja-
cent regions, often through acquisition.
Mid-Atlantic firms like Marcum and J.H.
Cohn are buying Connecticut and Mas-
sachusetts firms; Alabamas Carr, Riggs &
Ingram is building a super-regional firm
that encompasses the Gulf Coast and the
Southeast; Midwest No. 2 Regional Leader

Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C.,
and West Virginia
The Capital Region saw respectable growth this year,
with the Regional Leaders combined revenue swell-
ing 4.97 percent to $681.65 million.
That increase is all the more impressive given that
one of last years mega-mergers meant that one of
the regions major players, Virginias Goodman &
Co., left the list after hooking up with Southeast pow-
erhouse Dixon Hughes to form Dixon Hughes Good-
man. The firm obviously remains a major presence
in the Capital Region, but can be found on our list
of Southeast Regional Leaders, where it ranks No. 1.
The same applies to Southeast No. 2, Cherry, Bekaert
& Holland, which is based in Virginia, but has strong
operations throughout the Southeast.

Eide Bailly is due to merge with Great
Lakes No. 3 Wipfli in June; and so on.
Needless to say, this complicates our
list-making, requiring fine and, ad-
mittedly, often subjective judgments
about where to put a firm that straddles
two or more regions, but hasnt quite got
the reach to be a national firm. Western
Regional Leader Hagen, Streiff, Newton
& Oshiro, for instance, is headquartered
in Newport Beach, Calif., but has a strong
presence in the Southwest, as well. Weve
noted some of these dual citizenships in
the regional lists that follow.
BEYOND M&A
As much as mergers contributed to growth
in the regions, they arent the only way to
build a firm. Our Regional Leaders report-
ed strong increases in demand for services
by nonprofits and health care facilities, as
well as real estate and construction clients,
and from professional services organiza-
tions like law firms and doctors offices.
Some service areas saw strong growth in
individual regions firms in the Capi-
tal Region, for obvious reasons, saw in-
creased demand from both government
and government contractors, while firms
in the Southwest, and Texas in particular,
were doing well with oil, gas, and other
energy-related services and clients.
Organic growth like that is what will
continue to replenish the ranks of the Re-
gional Leaders, as more and more of them
either graduate to national status, or prove
attractive M&A targets for national and
super-regional firms. Most of the regions
saw a Regional Leader move up this way
the Wests Perry-Smith was merged
into national firm Crowe Horwath, which
itself rose from a Great Lakes leader to a
national firm. New England lost two ma-
jor firms, Kostin Ruffkess and CCR, to J.H.
Cohn and Grant Thornton, respectively.
With that said, weve managed to
grow this years Regional Leaders from
the 2011 list, not only replacing those
firms that were either acquired or grew so
large they became national, but adding a
few more, to bring our total up to 171. If
you belong among our Regional Leaders
but we missed you this year, e-mail us at
AcToday@SourceMedia.com so we can
add you to next years survey.
In the meantime, consider this years
list of Regional Leaders, starting below
and continuing in the pages that follow,
as they demonstrate the many ways an
accounting firm can grow. AT

The Regional Leaders in the Great Lakes reversed their
contraction of 2010, growing their revenues by 6.04 per-
cent to $1,466.79 million in 2011.
That, it should be noted, was without the help of Chi-
cago-based Crowe Horwath, which has graduated from
the ranks of the Regional Leaders to become a national
firm. Mergers and acquisitions helped fill some of the gap,
with serial acquirers like Sikich and Rehmann both post-
ing revenue growth of over 16 percent.

The Gulf Coast Regional Leaders roared ahead in
2011, growing revenue 19.22 percent, to $575.2 mil-
lion. They were led by the creation of Warren Aver-
ett from three firms Warren, Averett, Kimbrough
& Marino, OSullivan Creel, and Wilson Price
registering growth of almost 128 percent. The
No. 1 firm, Alabamas Carr, Riggs & Ingram, was no
slouch either, expanding its already considerable
reach across the Gulf Coast and the Southeast.

The Mid-Atlantic Regional Leaders saw more-than-re-
spectable growth of 6.55 percent, giving them 2011 rev-
enues of $2,278.92 million.
Many of the biggest firms in the region got into the
M&A game, with both Marcum and J.H. Cohn expanding
further into New England, and others, like ParenteBeard,
using mergers to grow within the Mid-Atlantic Region. The
area also contributed two new members of the Top 100:
Reinsel Kuntz Lesher, and Raich Ender Malter & Co.

Top Firms: Midwest

The Midwest Regional Leaders put in the weakest perform-
ance in 2011, growing their revenues at a slower clip even
than in 2010 but still growing them, by 1.11 percent, to
$852.28. Those numbers would undoubtedly have been
higher if wed included LarsonAllen, which grew 25 percent
through a series of mergers but its final merger, with
Clifton Gunderson, turned it into a national firm.
Next year well get to puzzle out what to do with No. 2
Midwest firm Eide Bailly, which is set to merge with Great
Lakes No. 3 Wipfli in June.

Top Firms: Mountain
2011 was a much better year for the Regional Lead-
ers in the Mountain States, which grew their overall
revenues by 2.27 percent, to $239.96 million, putting
them ahead of their slower-growing peers in the
Southwest and Midwest.
Growth came from a wide variety of services
the fastest growing Regional Leader, Utahs Squire &
Co., reported that its fastest growing specialty service
was technology consulting, while the largest firm in
the area, Denvers Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman,
saw its fastest growth in international tax.
There were also mergers, of course Midwest

its expansion into the area, which is began in 2010, by
acquiring major Denver firm Bondi & Co.

The Regional Leaders in New England rebounded from
2010s contraction, growing their revenues by 5.2 percent
to $289.9 million.
And this was despite the fact that two of the larger
firms in the area dropped off the list this time around,
both as a result of mergers: Connecticut-based Kostin
Ruffkess was grabbed up by Mid-Atlantic Regional Leader
J.H. Cohn, while Massachusetts CCR was grabbed by na-
tional firm Grant Thornton. New York-based Top 100 Firm
Marcum also expanded its presence in the area with two
mergers early in 2012.
The news wasnt all about the Top 100 moving into
New England, though: One Regional Leader Rhode
Islands Kahn, Litwin, Renza & Co. broke the revenue
barrier and joined the T100 for the first time this year, after
growing over 10 percent in 2011.

The Southeast Regional Leaders saw the
second strongest growth of all our regions,
boosting their revenues 18.37 percent, to
$797.52 million.
Leading the way was the super-reg-
ional firm Dixon Hughes Goodman, which
brought together the Capital Regions
Goodman & Co. and the Southeasts Dixon
Hughes. The combined firm is listed as
a Southeast Regional Leader, but it also
retains an extremely strong presence in the

Top Firms: West
The West grew more in 2011, with the Regional Leaders
total revenues growing 4.61 percent, to $1,241.6 million.
Perhaps the biggest news here was the merger that
didnt happen: The much-ballyhooed combination of Top
100 Firm Burr, Pilger & Mayer and Southern Californias
Windes & McClaughry had been slated to happen this year,
but the firms called it off in February, citing an inability to
agree on the final terms. BPM may take some consolation
from having climbed a spot on the Regional Leaders list,
to No. 4, and from the two other acquisitions that it com-
pleted in the course of 2011.
Other Regional Leaders active on the M&A front in-
cluded Armanino McKenna, which picked up a tech firm;
Oregons AKT CPAs; Gallina, which expanded into Ne-
vada; and Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson,
which, among other things, picked up a practice unit in the
fire sale of consultancy LECG.
Finally, though its combination with Clifton Gunder-
son has overshadowed all else, LarsonAllen made quite a
merger splash in the Pacific Northwest in 2011, grabbing
up a couple of firms in the area.

T
heres an old military boast
that goes something like this:
The difficult we can do now.
The impossible will take a lit-
tle longer.
With the past two years as evi-
dence, the nations Top 100 Accounting
Firms are all too familiar with accom-
plishing the difficult.
Staring down the often lethal com-
bination of a rough economy and
increased competition,
many in the 2011 class of
the T100 struggled to at
least maintain flat rev-
enues over the prior year
with mixed success.
That malaise in turn trig-
gered an inevitable rank-
ings reshuffle, with some
of the previous members
dropping of the main ros-
ter, or, at minimum, cas-
cading several notches
down the ladder.
Despite that omi-
nous lead-in, I want to
welcome you to the 2011
edition of the Accounting
Today Top 100 Firms, the 24th year our
publication has brought readers this ex-
haustive undertaking.
This will also mark the second year
we have augmented our traditional Top
100 rankings with a comprehensive look
at leading firms throughout 10 major
geographic regions.
The somewhat brighter news on
the revenue side is that more than half
of those regions reported (admittedly
slight) year-over-year gains.
As we annually note, no Top 100
study would be complete without a brief
tutorial on the guidelines used in as-
sembling the project:
Revenue, unless its otherwise
noted, is net revenue.
Also, unless noted, firm rev-
enues are for the U.S. only.
The total employees category
is comprised of partners, professionals
In a case where
two firms report equal
revenue, the firm with the
higher percentage of rev-
enue increase will receive
the higher ranking.
Of course, no project
of this magnitude could
be completed without a
total team effort in usher-
ing it to publication. This
year, as always, the proj-
ect was quarterbacked by
managing editor Dan
Hood, who, as field gen-
eral, simply told us what
had to be done and
when. Kudos also go to
senior editors Roger Russell and Dan-
ielle Lee, technology editor Seth Fine-
berg, and Mike Cohn, editor of our on-
line portal AccountingToday.com.
So, with that, we present the 2011
class of the Top 100 Tax and Accounting
Firms, accompanied by the rankings of
Regional Leaders, who somehow find a
way to get it done.
No matter how difficult it gets.

inter always outstays its
welcome.
This years, with its long
cold spells and record
snowfalls in many parts of the country, has
seemed much longer than necessary
but at least we know that it cant last much
more than another month.
The accounting profession, on the
other hand, entered a cold snap in 2009
that has lasted right through 2010, and
still seems to have the Top 100 Firms in
a deep freeze, stuck in a second year of
declining revenue, partner and staff
figures.
Some of the more chilling statis-
tics: Revenues for the Top 100 were
down almost 2 percent, while partner
and staff levels both declined around 1
percent. Forty-four firms reported flat
or declining revenue, against 34 last
year, and 62 reported flat or declining
staff numbers, against 53 last year.
While things didnt get better, its
not quite fair to say that they got worse:
A 2 percent drop in revenue is pretty
cold, but in 2009 revenues dropped al-
most 3 percent, and 2009s drop in staff
was over 2 percent. (See Databank,
page 5.) Not warmer then, but not nec-
essarily colder.
Frozen.
STAYING WARM
For those keeping score at home, last year
in this study we reported seeing signs that
things would be warmer in 2010. All we
can say is that were eternally optimistic
about the profession and one of the rea-
sons were still optimistic is that the best of
the Top 100 arent hibernating through the
cold weather.
In the depths of winter, theyre active-
ly developing strategies for staying warm.
In 2009, that often meant focusing on serv-
ices and offerings for an economy in trou-
ble restructuring and bankruptcy serv-
ices, for instance. In 2010, many of the Top
100 reported launching entirely new prac-
tice areas that will still be called for when
the economy fully recovers, from IT con-
sulting and benchmarking services to ad-
visory services for clients looking to ex-
pand in China. (See Strategies, page 10.)
Theyre also focusing inward to prepare
themselves for the better times ahead, de-
veloping training programs, beefing up
their marketing, and updating their tech-
nology. Almost a fifth reported that they
were finally getting around to installing a
customer relationship management sys-
tem. (See T100 Tech, page 11.)
Initiatives like these will certainly
stand them in good stead when the eco-
nomic weather finally turns warm. And
those that can be rolled out sooner will
help in those areas where business is still
growing now. Even in the midst of the
freeze, over 60 percent of the Top 100 re-
ported seeing growth in areas such as busi-
ness valuations, services to nonprofits,
forensics and fraud work, estate planning,
international tax, and attest services a
mix of those driven by the tough economy
and those that point to a post-thaw fu-
ture. (See Niche Services and Client Cat-
egories, pages 12-13.)
BUNDLING UP
All that activity is helping keep the Top
100 Firms warm, but the most com-
mon strategy was, as it has been for
some time, to find someone else to
share the warmth.
Most of the T100 who saw any
kind of significant growth did it
through mergers and acquisitions. Cal-
ifornia-based Gallina, for instance,
grew by over 31 percent (and earned its
first appearance on the list) through a
major merger in October 2010, and
then added another in January 2011.
The other four firms with the highest
growth rates all notched up mergers in
2010 or early 2011. Michigan-based
Doeren Mayhew, for instance, grew by
over 20 percent and jumped 10 spots
on the T100 list through its July merger
with a Texas firm, while Indianas Blue &
Co. grew over 20 percent and jumped up
12 spots in part through a late-2009 merg-
er with a Kentucky firm, as well as the ac-
quisition of two small tax practices. (See
Firm Highlights, page 27.)
Merger activity was strong at all levels.
Two New York-area firms in the 2009 Top
30, Eisner and Amper, Politziner & Mattia,
merged to create EisnerAmper, No. 13 in
the 2011 Top 100 and the No. 1 firm in our
Mid-Atlantic Region. National firm Clifton
Gunderson went on a tear, acquiring at

least seven firms and offices, from Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri to New Mexico and
California, while Top 6 Firm Grant Thorn-
ton acquired groups in Dallas and Chicago
(though it also sold off some offices and
practices as part of an ambitious five-year
strategic plan). CBIZ / Mayer Hoffman Mc-
Cann, meanwhile, acquired a Utah-based
employee benefits firm and a Baltimore-
based consulting firm, along with a major
local accounting firm in Tampa Bay, Fla.
Southeast regional firm Cherry Bekaert &
Holland was also particularly busy, with
firm acquisitions in Atlanta and Florida,
and two in Virginia, all of which should
boost its numbers next year, as they came
after the firms April 2010 year-end.
Firm mergers also reshaped the Top
100 by removing some familiar names:
List stalwarts Caturano & Co. of Boston,
LeMaster & Daniels of Spokane, Wash.,
and Stonefield Josephson of California
were all acquired in 2010, by RSM
McGladrey, LarsonAllen, and Marcum,
respectively. That opened up some posi-
tions at the bottom of the list, allowing
some former Top 100 Firms to reclaim
spots, and new ones to join. It also, along
with the overall decline in revenues, ac-
counted for the new, lower threshold for
joining the list: $30.7 million, against
$31.8 million last year.
One of the biggest of the recent deals,
it should be noted, wont be reflected in the
list until next year: the announced union of
Southeast super-regional Dixon Hughes
with Virginia powerhouse Goodman & Co.,
which is due to take effect in March 2011

from page 4
Mergers and a general decline in revenue have lowered the threshold for this years Top 100 to $30.7 million, from last years $31.8 million, allowing
some growing firms to join the list. As always, though, there are still many strong firms that are just below the threshold. Some of them have been on
the list before, and have just been temporarily overtaken; others are powering their way toward the list for the first time.
As with last year, weve suspended our practice of listing the Ones to Watch by their growth rates; so many strong firms have reported declines
that it hardly seems fair to hold the general economic climate against them though its worth noting that there are some very strong performers in
this years OTW.

COLD SPOTS
With all that heat noted, its time for a little
cold water. Last year, when we introduced
our new Regional Leaders lists, they were
a bright spot. With the weight of the na-
tional firms removed, nine out of 10 of our
regions reported respectable growth in
2009. In 2010, only six of the 10 regions re-
ported growth, and it was much more
modest than the year before, with the
leaders the West and the Mid-Atlantic
coming in just under 2 percent. Of the
four areas that declined, the Great Lakes
Region and the New England Region both
saw revenue drops that were slightly larg-
er than that of the overall Top 100 Firms.
(See the Regional Leaders lists, pages 21-
26.) The numbers often reflect the eco-
nomic performance of the part of the
country in question though not always.
(See Regional Overview, page 19.)
Comparisons to last years report
arent quite exact, as we have added a
number of firms, and made some adjust-
ments to how we break up the regions.
Among other things, weve created an en-
tirely new one, the Capital Region centered
around Washington, D.C., and combined
two, the Mid-Atlantic and the New York
Metro. Both the expansion and the re-
arrangement of the regions will, we hope,
better reflect the way that the Regional
Leaders are evolving in terms of their geo-
graphic practice areas.
That evolution, along with all the oth-
er changes brought about by firm mergers,
belt-tightening, new practice lines and
new technologies, show that the profes-
sion isnt standing still in the deep freeze.
Its adapting itself, preparing for the op-
portunities that are sure to come when the
cold ends.
The winter will pass and the thaw will
come its just a matter of staying warm
until it does. AT
THE TOP TAX FIRMS
By and large, it was not a great year for tax firms: Two of the three biggest tax prep chains, H&R Block and Jackson Hewitt, reported noteworthy de-
clines in revenue, citing problems with refund anticipation loans and sustained unemployment among their core client bases. (That said, the other
major chain, Liberty Tax, continued its relentless growth, and surpassed Jackson Hewitt for the first time to become the No. 2 chain in the country.)
For firms that provide a wider range of tax services, the results were mixed, a combination of mostly minor declines in revenue and the odd slight
uptick with the notable exception of Texas-based tax services firm Ryan, which managed growth of over 10 percent, aided, in part, by its expertise
in international tax issues.

hether battling critical is-
sues such as fee pressures,
succession planning, or cli-
ent and employee reten-
tion, the nations Top 100 Firms will devote
a good part of 2011 to deploying strategies
to counter the bruising effects of a rough
economy and torrid competition.
After navigating one of the more diffi-
cult revenue years on record, the 2011 class
of the Top 100 Firms revealed a wide range
of planned initiatives, from expanding
their business development units, increas-
ing the use of social media, and hiring
away niche specialists, to scouring for po-
tential M&A partners in an effort to ensure
future growth and profitability.
NEW NICHES, NEW PEOPLE
As an example, California-based Arman-
ino McKenna is pairing its technology cap-
abilities with its consulting division, and
now cross-sells IT services via the consult-
ing teams with offerings like business in-
telligence and budget and forecasting
tools. This year will also mark the second
year of its CFO Evolution a service that
provides benchmarking studies for CFOs
of their organizations and competition.
Berkowitz Dick Pollack & Brant man-
aging director Richard Berkowitz reported
that the Miami-based CPA firm will initiate
what he termed a rigorous growth and
business development program that focus-
es on four targeted niches forensic serv-
ices, real estate financial advisory services,
wealth services and attest.
Along similar lines, Maryland-based
Reznick Group launched a new practice
line that focuses on the real estate advisory
needs of the long-term health care indus-
try specifically owners and operators of
facilities across the country. The firm also
formed a National Commercial Real Estate
Committee to offer ideas and resources to
its extensive real estate client base.
Philadelphia-based ParenteBeards
chief executive Robert Ciaruffoli revealed
that it would get all levels of the firm en-
gaged in business development, as well as
exploring a number of new service lines
and consulting services. To hone its cost-
management process, the firm is also im-
plementing new budgeting and practice
management systems that provide real-
time data for each practice area.
SingerLewak indicated that it would
expand its current niche of family-owned
businesses to new service lines, as well as
growing its in-house Thought Leadership
Series to include doing business in China
and Europe. The California-based tech-
savvy firm also has sealed a partnership
with online financial and accounting
provider Intacct Corp. to resell its solutions
and advise clients on cloud computing and
Software-as-a-Service issues.
At Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt, the
Los Angeles-based T100 Firm has launched
search engine optimization initiatives in an
effort to leverage its various areas of expert-
ise, including international tax, transac-
tion advisory services, hiring and econ-tax
credit services. The firm also pledged to
forge strategic relationships with local and
national service providers, including affili-
ates of Moore Stephens North America.
Aronson, which over the past year
added a number of new service lines, in-
cluding the expansion of its consulting
services to its core government contracting
niche, transitioned Lisa Cines, who had
helmed the firm for nine years as chief ex-
ecutive, to oversee its business and corpo-
rate development initiatives. The Mary-
land-based firm said that in 2011 it would
allocate more resources to those units.
BACK TO SCHOOL
To ensure a continuous flow of rainmakers
for each market and industry niche that it
services, Carr, Riggs & Ingram has estab-
lished an in-house sales college.
Like CRI, Miami-based Kaufman,
Rossin & Co. will make education a prior-
ity initiative this year, focusing on en-
hanced productivity via its training pro-
grams at Kaufman Rossin University, as
well as The Innovation Challenge, a sum-
mer training program that it conducts for
future leaders. The firm said that TIC pro-
duced four business plans from partici-
pants that are currently being implement-
ed at the firm.
M&A AS A GROWTH STRATEGY
Over the past year, perhaps no firm pur-
sued a more aggressive M&A strategy than
Clifton Gunderson, which closed on a total
of seven mergers, a strategy it plans to con-
tinue though 2011. Toward that end, the
firm last year appointed former long-time
chief executive Carl George to exclusively
seek out M&A opportunities for the firm.
New York-based Friedman revealed
that it also would examine potential merg-
ers, as well as continuing to look for growth
markets in both China and India. Manag-
ing partner Bruce Madnick added that the
firm would also seek to recruit and hire
practitioners in specialty niches.
In August, global firm Grant Thornton
unveiled Unleashing Our Potential, an
ambitious five-year growth and strategic
plan that targets the firm generating $2 bil-
lion in revenues by 2015. The multi-
pronged plan includes an aggressive push
into selected markets, attracting top-level
talent, and implementing a strategy of
mergers and acquisitions. The firm, which
had been dormant in the M&A field for a
number of years, acquired the disputes
and investigations practice of Huron Con-
sulting, the first of what the firm said would
be more in 2011. AT

ost CPA firms have long
avoided installing or utiliz-
ing customer relationship
management systems, as
they have been perceived as too costly or
too difficult to understand. But it appears
that many in this years Top 100 have shed
those old preconceived notions, as CRM
topped the list of planned technology ini-
tiatives for 2011.
Our 2011 survey of the Top 100 Firms
revealed that CRM was the most popular
initiative among those that were planning
on implementing anything new technol-
ogy-wise this year. These firms cited in-
creased competition and the need to im-
prove client retention and lead generation
as primary reasons for deciding to wade
into the CRM arena in 2011.
For years, the price tag and the highly
tech-centric nature of CRM scared off
many potential users, but now practices
such as Salem, Ore.-based AKT have be-
gun to realize the broad availability of low-
cost, user-friendly CRM systems, whether
on-premise or in cloud or hosted versions.
This year, AKT, which ranked No. 96
on our 2011 roster, plans to roll out Sales-
force.com, and looks to have it integrate
with the firms existing time and billing sys-
tems to help ensure that its staff have the
information they need to manage their
own businesses.
Cost was an issue, but as we are see-
ing increased competition and clients not
wanting to pay for additional services, we
had to address how we manage and build
our relationships with our current clients,"
said Peggy Kitzmiller, director of marketing
in AKTs Portland office. Some [employ-
ees] did it through makeshift CRM via
Outlook, but it had to be better than that,
she said. Providing the highest level of
client service is key. We need to know
things like we had lunch with someone six
months ago and how to follow up with
them and serve them best. Each client
and client category has their own needs,
and a good CRM system will help to meet
those needs.
Atlanta-based Habif, Arogeti, &
Wynne was also among the T100 firms that
had explored the idea of utilizing a CRM
system, but found it either cost-prohibitive
or that they simply lacked a strong plan-
ning process for implementation. This year
will be different for the firm, which ranked
No. 47, as they have committed to having a
CRM system, and have already initiated
small trial tests for Dynamics CRM, as well
as a search for a consultant to assist with
the planning process.
We kicked the idea of CRM around a
few times and backed off. What happens a
lot is partners will get together and say we
want to do all these things and implemen-
tation is a nightmare, so we need someone
[like a consultant] to be objective and de-
fine what we need to do to get it off the
ground so we can have early successes and
build on that, said Brian Falony, director
of marketing at Habif Arogeti. Were fac-
ing more and more competition in our
marketplace, and we need to be better at
understanding who our prospects are and
convert leads to clients, as well as retaining
those we have.
NEEDS BEYOND CRM
CRM systems werent the only key tech-
nology plans in 2011 for the Top 100, as
many are also looking towards increasing
cloud-based initiatives, while others listed
wireless, mobile and paperless strategies
as goals this year.
Cloud-based technology plans are
fairly widespread among the T100, with
several recently becoming engaged in con-
sulting on or reselling cloud accounting
systems and services.
In early February of this year, Chica-
go-based Baker Tilly Virchow Krause
joined the NetSuite Solution Provider pro-
gram and will use the Web-based service
as part of its own new cloud-based com-
puting consulting practice. The No. 16-
ranked firms cloud consulting practice,
now powered by NetSuite, will initially fo-
cus on service-based companies and
wholesale distributors.
In addition, top firms including Los
Angeles-based SingerLewak, Armanino
McKenna, and national firms Clifton Gun-
derson and RSM McGladrey all have re-
cently signed on to resell or offer account-
ing and outsourced CFO services utilizing
cloud-based financial and accounting ap-
plications provider Intacct.
Other new technology initiatives that
the top firms plan to implement this year
include upgrading existing practice man-
agement systems, utilization of social me-
dia, use of portals, improving security and
data encryption, and upgrading to Win-
dows 7. AT

rowth in specialty services at
the 2011 Top 100 Firms re-
mained relatively consistent
with last year, with most top
client niches either treading water or see-
ing small changes in the percentage of
firms reporting growth in those areas. Ac-
cording to the 80 reporting firms, however,
a few niche specialties made some dra-
matic movements.
Nonprofits registered the biggest leap
from last years ninth spot to land in sec-
ond place with 70 percent of firms record-
ing an increase in that specialty. Business
valuations, meanwhile, remained in the
top niche-services spot, with 75 percent of
firms reporting an increase. Suffering a big
drop this year were business recovery/re-
cession services, down six spots at No. 23.
Brent McDade, managing partner of
advisory services for Joseph Decosimo and
Co. in Chattanooga, Tenn., saw business val-
uations at the firm grow rapidly in the past
year because of demand for fair value servic-
es. It was a realization on the part of audi-
tors and their clients that independent opin-
ions of fair value are becoming a more rou-
tine part of an audit engagement, he said.
In the past year, [this niche] grew in spite of
us, instead of because of us, but in the com-
ing year we plan to dedicate more resources
to growing this area of business.
Joe Evans, a principal at Boardman,
Ohio-based Hill, Barth & King and director
of its business valuation practice, cited
three reasons for growth: First, the im-
provement in clients discretionary spend-
ing. Valuation work tends to be an extra
type of transaction, so in a difficult econ-
omy, discretionary spending goes down.
We expect to see improvement there.
Evans also echoed McDades expecta-
tion of more fair value work in financial
reporting as another catalyst. And lastly, he
sees opportunities for valuation in the Mar-
cellus Shale, an area of deep, untapped nat-
ural gas reserves on the East Coast.
But the dramatic rise in the nonprofit
services arena was perhaps the headline in
T100 niche services in 2011.
For Geralyne Mahoney, a shareholder
in assurance services and leader of the
Nonprofit Services Group at Burr, Pilger &
Mayer in San Francisco, the increase was a
response to the continued boom of the
nonprofit sector during the economic
downturn. So many nonprofits are in need
of service, and not that many firms special-
ize in nonprofits, she said. The staff dedi-
cated to this niche within the firm also in-
creased from 60 to 65 people this year.
Forensics and fraud services rounded
out the top three niches this year.
According to Richard Pollack, director
of forensic accounting at Berkowitz Dick
Pollack & Brant in Miami, a few factors
including location played into his firms
growth in this service. Its a result of some
of the banking regulations and the amount
of international banking going on down
here, he said. Combined with the govern-
mental regulations and concerns about
money laundering, there is more work for

The economy was also a key player.
When the economy is not thriving, you
tend to see more forensic-type engagements
as well, Pollack noted. Theres more bank-
ruptcy, insolvency, restructuring, and that
kind of work for troubled companies.
While mergers and acquisitions only
moved up one spot to 10th on the list, the
number of firms reporting a spike in that
niche rose nearly 8 percentage points from
2010. The recent expansion of M&A activ-
ity is a main driver for this increase, ac-
cording to Tommy Lawler, managing part-
ner and chief executive officer at Weaver in
Fort Worth, Texas. It also led the firm to in-
crease staff in this practice area. When
things were not as hot as they used to be,
said Lawler, sellers had to adjust their idea
of what their companies are worth.
MIDSIZED AT THE TOP
Midsized businesses again topped the list
as the largest growing client category,
though the percentage of firms reporting a
rise in business dropped nearly 3 percent-
age points. Nonprofits saw a dip of almost
2 points, while still retaining its No. 2 spot.
The manufacturing category, however,
grew more than 2 percentage points, pro-
pelling it up two spots to third place.
Nonprofit clients now comprise 10
percent of New York-based Marks Paneth
& Shrons practice, an increase that has
happened in the last decade, said Michael
McNee, partner-in-charge of nonprofit
and government services in the West-
chester, N.Y., office. Ive gotten more re-
quests for proposals in the last seven to
eight years, on a weekly basis at times, than
Ive seen in my entire career, he said. The
firm built traction with the adoption of Sar-
banes-Oxley policies in the nonprofit
world, as well as taking on clients no
longer working with the Big Four and their
decreased presence on the nonprofit side.
Jerald Murphy, partner-in-charge of
the manufacturing and distribution prac-
tice in the Aurora, Ill., office of Sikich, cred-
its the technology teams investment in in-
frastructure and enterprise resource plan-
ning software for the upswing. Manufac-
turing and distribution keeps investing in
that technology to prepare themselves for
growth in the near future, he explained.
Health care facilities jumped three
slots and nearly 8 percentage points to gar-
ner the No. 6 spot. Chris Champ, principal
and director of Eide Baillys health care in-
dustry practice in Fargo, N.D., said that
successful competition with the larger
firms brought his firm gains in this area.
We have a team with more experience
working with the client day-to-day than
the Big Fours variety of newer, younger
staff who work in more of a pool concept,
he revealed. This, in combination with
service pricing, allowed the firm to pick up
larger clients previously served by the Big
Four, Champ said.
Another client service area that made
a steady climb was banking and thrift com-
panies, which rose nearly 4 percentage
points, earning it the No. 14 spot.
JoAnn Cotter, partner-in-charge of the
financial institutions practice in the Green
Bay, Wis., office of Wipfli, attributes the
firms gains in the vertical to its survive and
thrive mentality in the face of a poor econ-
omy and regulatory-weary environment.
We developed and further expanded
around advisory areas, she said. We built
a strategic plan toward governance, a capi-
tal plan to turn the organizations around,
and were responsive to their needs. This
response included adding staff to the
strategic planning and risk advisory servic-
es within the practice. AT

Regions see modest gains, declines
B Y R OGE R R U S S E L L
A
lthough the recession officially
ended in June 2009, economic
conditions remained stagnant
throughout most of 2010. Nat-
ionwide, unemployment began the year
with a rate of 9.7 percent, and ended at 9.4
percent. Last year, figures for 2009 showed
the first-ever decline in the revenue of the
Top 100 Firms. This years figures for the
T100 are also down, by nearly 2 percent.
Our 2011 Regional Leaders did some-
what better, with many experiencing mod-
est growth during the year. However, four
of the 10 regions experienced a slight de-
crease in revenue. The Regional Leaders
reported combined revenue of $9 billion.
CAPITAL REGION
Unemployment declined in the area corre-
sponding to our new Capital Region, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
dropping from 6.2 percent to 5.7 percent.
Growth in the region was reported as
mixed or modestly improving during the
first half of the year. At years end, econom-
ic activity was increasing, with manufac-
turing posting solid gains, retailers report-
ing a spike in sales, and the banking sector
reporting moderate improvements.
The Regional Leaders here grew their
revenue to $747.7 million, an increase of
1.6 percent over last year.
GREAT LAKES
The states of the Great Lakes Region all ex-
perienced at least a slight decline in unem-
ployment during the year. Michigans rate
dropped the most, although it began with
the highest rate, declining from 14.5 per-
cent to 11.17 percent. Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio were all in the 9-to-10-percent range,
while only Wisconsin ended the year at
well under the national average, having
declined from 8.5 to 7.5 percent.
The Federal Reserve districts com-
prising the Great Lakes Region began the
year with economic activity improving at a
modest pace, according to the Federal Re-
serve Board Beige Book. At years end, the
Cleveland District reported that economic
activity was growing at a modest pace,
while the Chicago District grew at a slight-
ly faster pace. General retailing was flat to
slightly down in the Cleveland District,
while the Chicago District reported a mod-
erate rise in consumer spending.
The Regional Leaders in the Great
Lakes earned $1.8 billion in revenue in
2010, down 2 percent over last year.
GULF COAST
By years end, Alabama and Louisiana
were below the national unemployment
average, at 9.1 percent and 8 percent, re-
spectively. Mississippi, although declining
from 10.5 percent to 10.1 percent, re-
mained above the average for the nation as
a whole, as did Florida, which increased
from 11.7 percent to 12 percent. Coinci-
dent economic activity (a combination of
non-farm payroll employment, the unem-
ployment rate, average hours worked in
manufacturing, and wages and salaries)
for the states in the Gulf Coast was stag-
nant or grew slightly during the year.
The Regional Leaders registered a
slight rise in revenue. Total revenue was
$483 million, with a growth rate of slightly
less than a quarter of a percent.
MID-ATLANTIC
Unemployment dropped in the Mid-At-
lantic Region, remaining below the nation-
al average throughout the year. The econo-
my expanded at a modest pace, with most
sectors reporting improved conditions and
widespread optimism about the near-term
outlook at the end of the year. Retail sales
over the holiday season, although adverse-
ly affected by the late-December blizzard,
were generally strong and ahead of expec-
tations. Housing markets were mixed but
generally weak, and bankers reported
mixed loan demand.
The leading firms in the region report-
ed combined revenue of slightly over $2
billion, an increase of 1.9 percent.
MIDWEST
The Midwest had the lowest unemploy-
ment rate in the nation. North Dakota end-
ed the year with the lowest unemployment
rate, at 3.8 percent; Nebraska placed sec-
ond at 4.4 percent. Missouri was the only
state in the region that had an unemploy-
ment rate slightly above the nations aver-
age, at 9.5 percent. Both the Minneapolis
District and the Kansas City District posted
moderate economic expansion during the
year. Consumer spending, manufacturing
activity and commercial real estate were
slightly improved. However, residential
construction decreased in the Minneapolis
District, and remained weak in the Kansas
City District.
Regional Leaders in the Midwest re-
ported a combined $1.07 billion in revenue
for 2010, an increase of 1.7 percent over
last year.
MOUNTAIN
Every state in the Mountain Region was
below the national average for unemploy-
ment, but most saw unemployment in-
creasing at years end. Only Wyomings un-
employment rate was less at the end of the
year, at 6.4 percent, than at the beginning
of the year. Although construction activity
slowed in most parts of the region, manu-
facturing activity increased. Commercial
real estate activity also edged up, but resi-
dential construction and residential real
estate activity decreased.
Revenue for the Regional Leaders in

the region was $229 million for 2010, a de-
crease of 1.74 percent over 2009.
NEW ENGLAND
With the exception of Rhode Island, unem-
ployment in New England states remained
below the national average. Rhode Island,
although above the average, posted a sig-
nificant (1.2 percent) drop in unemploy-
ment. The mid-year outlook varied widely
across sectors, according to the Federal
Reserve. The outlook was largely positive
in manufacturing and software, cautious
for retail and tourism, and mixed among
commercial real estate professionals. Con-
ditions continued to improve during the
waning months of the year, with most re-
tailers reporting year-over-year sales in-
creases, and manufacturing activity ex-
panding. However, while commercial real
estate markets were stable, residential real
estate continued to be weak.
The Regional Leaders in New England
reported combined revenue of $311.5 mil-
lion, a drop of 2 percent from last year.
SOUTHEAST
While unemployment in the Southeast
dropped in five of the six states in the re-
gion, it remained at or above the national
average in four states. Signs of slowing or
contracting economic activity were preva-
lent during the second half of the year, ac-
cording to the Federal Reserve. Activity at
retail and services firms was flat to down,
and manufacturing activity also edged
down during the fall months. At years end,
indicators were generally either mixed or
modestly improving.
The Regional Leaders in the Southeast
earned a total of $641 million in 2010, de-
clining by about half a percent from 2009.
SOUTHWEST
Unemployment in the states comprising
the Southwest increased slightly during
the year, remaining below the national av-
erage in Texas and New Mexico at 8.3 per-
cent and 8.5 percent, respectively. Arizona
mirrored the national average, ending the
year at 9.4 percent unemployment.
The Dallas Federal Reserve District
expanded at a modest pace throughout the
year. Activity in the energy sector strength-
ened, while transportation services and
staffing firms reported steady but solid de-
mand. The region ended the year with
mixed reports from the manufacturing
sector. Commercial real estate conditions
were improving slightly at years end.
The Southwests top regional firms re-
ported $331 million in revenue in 2010, up
nearly 1 percent over 2009 figures.
WEST
Unemployment in the three Western states
with Regional Leaders in them rose slight-
ly or remained steady during the year. Eco-
nomic activity in the Federal Reserve Dis-
trict picked up slightly from June through
mid-July, and firmed further from the fall
through to the end of December. Manufac-
turing activity grew, agricultural produc-
tion remained solid, and demand grew for
providers of energy resources. However,
home sales and construction stayed slug-
gish, and conditions continued to be weak
in commercial real estate markets.
The Regional Leaders in the West re-
ported revenue of $1.22 billion, for growth
of 1.9 percent over last year. AT

For a relatively small area, our newly created Capital
Region boasts a significant concentration of strong
firms. The presence of the federal government at the
heart of the region explains some of it, both indirectly,
through helping buoy employment in the area, and di-
rectly through engagements the No. 3 firm here,
Kearney & Co., has more than tripled in size in the last
four years by focusing on government work but not
all, as the firms here serve a wide range of clients with
an even wider range of services.

or our 2011 list of the leading regional accounting firms,
weve taken the liberty of re-organizing the United States.
We havent dropped any of the old states, or added any
new ones, but we have changed how we break them down into
regions in a way that, we hope, is both coherent and accurately
reflects how the Regional Leaders are evolving. The main
change has been to create a new area, the Capital Region, for the
growing cluster of strong firms in the states immediately around
Washington, D.C., and to combine our old New York Metro re-
gion with the broader Mid-Atlantic region, in recognition of the
fact that many firms that were previously Big Apple-centric have
been branching out to the rest of the state, to the Philadelphia
market, and, in some cases, to Florida, California and the coun-
try as a whole.
While this re-arrangement makes direct comparisons with
last year difficult, we should note that, overall, performance in
the regions was not as strong as last year. While only one region
reported declining revenues in 2009, four reported them for
2010, and growth in the six regions that saw it was not as strong
as last year, though many individual firms managed to post
some impressive gains.
Compiling the Regional Leaders lists involves some tricky
judgment calls: At what point does an expanding firm tran-
scend its home region and become truly national? What about
firms that straddle two regions, with strong practices in both?
Weve noted the trickier calls in the individual regional reports,
but were open to correction.
On a happier note, were proud to say that weve expanded
this years list, and plan to expand it further in the years to
come, delving deeper into each region to highlight even more
Regional Leaders. While we expect that to make this report even
more useful, it also means that we will, inevitably, miss some
worthy firms. If your firm should have appeared on this years
list, but didnt, contact us at AcToday@SourceMedia.com, so we
can be sure to include you next year.

1 2010 revenue figure does not include approximately $8.5 million in revenues from HBK Source Financial, the firms financial services business,
which was spun off so that it is no longer directly owned, though it is still controlled by the owners of the accounting firm.
While manufacturers in the Rust Belt were making modest
gains and unemployment dropped somewhat, the Regional
Leaders bucked the trend by showing an overall drop in rev-
enue, against last years modest rise. Declines were reported
at firms of all sizes, but the decreases at the areas three

Between the economy and the BP oil spill, the Gulf
Coast states could not catch a break last year, but
while the Regional Leaders here did not grow quite
as strongly as they did last year, they managed to
squeeze out a slight increase, demonstrating the
sort of resilience necessary for living in an area that
seems to attract disaster after disaster.

Where there was once a clear divide between New York
City firms and firms that operated in the wider Mid-At-
lantic region, more and more firms like Marcum, Citrin
Cooperman and the newly created EinserAmper (now the
largest firm in the region) have begun pushing out to new
markets across the country, and even abroad. Mergers like
the one that created EinserAmper helped boost the num-
bers of some of the strongest performers in the area, but so
did a recovering economy, which helped make the Region-
al Leaders here the second-best performing set of regional
firms in the country.

Top Firms: Midwest
Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska,
North Dakota and South Dakota
It was a strong year for firms in the Midwest overall, if not
as strong as last year, befitting a region that had the lowest
unemployment in the nation, and a modest expansion.
The rankings stayed much the same as last year, with the
regions three biggest firms solidly ensconced in their po-
sitions, and only modest moves elsewhere.

Top Firms: Mountain
The Mountain Region was the only one to report a de-
cline in revenue last year; it reported another mild de-
cline this year, but was joined by three other regions. Al-
though unemployment in the states that comprise the
area was low, it did start creeping up this year, which
helps explain the performance.
It also probably wasnt helped by the absence of
RGL Forensics from this years list. Though weve in-
cluded the Denver-based forensic accounting firm in
the Regional Leaders before, its geographic reach it
has offices across the country, and six outside it put it
outside the scope of the list. Its growth of over 10 per-
cent in 2010 would certainly have boosted the overall
figure for the region, in which all but two firms reported
relatively modest declines.

The biggest change among the Regional Leaders in New
England was the removal from the list of by far its largest
firm, Boston-based Caturano & Co., through its mid-year
merger with national firm RSM McGladrey. That pushed
Connecticut-based Blum Shapiro up to
the top spot and brought another large competitor to
the region.
Firms in the region overall reported declines in rev-
enue, though of varying degrees, leading to some shake-
ups in the order of the list, while Providence, R.I.-based
Kahn, Litwin, Renza & Co. climbed a few spots with re-
gion-leading growth of over 7 percent.

Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, North Car-

The Southeast probably saw the most geo-
graphic changes of our regions this year,
with Virginia lopped off to join our Capital
Region (though it kept Cherry Bekaert, as
the Virginia-based firm has operations
throughout the Southeast), and Arkansas
added to its western edge to accomodate
Little Rock-based Frost, which de-merged
from former Top 100 Firm Frazer Frost late
in 2010, and has significant operations in
the Southeast. The changes will continue
in 2011, as it sees the March mega-merger
between regional champ Dixon Hughes
and Goodman & Co.

We discovered even more strong firms in the
Southwest this year, so the list for 2011 is
signficantly deeper than 2010s.
We did remove a firm, though Ha-
gen, Streiff, Newton & Oshiro was listed as a
Southwest Regional Leader last year because
of its strong Texas presence, but it is actually
headquartered in California, so its been
moved to our West Region.
Mergers helped Texas Weaver cement
its position as the largest firm in the region
its more than double the size of the next
firm on the list but a number of South-
west firms put in strong showings in a tough
year, including New Mexicos REDW (over 10
percent), Texas Briggs & Veselka (over 8 per-
cent) and Houstons MaloneBailey (over 7
percent).

Top Firms: West
The Regional Leaders list for the West probably saw the
most changes of any this year, with a number of firms
changing position, new firms joining the list, and some
dropping off entirely.
While Seattle-based super-regional Moss Adams re-
mained by far the largest firm in the area, Armanino
McKenna, Novogradac and Holthouse Carlin & Van Trigt
all moved up, to No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, on the
strength of growth of between 8 and 10 percent.
New Regional Leaders include growth leader Gallina
(up over 30 percent in 2010), AKT, Gursey | Schneider and
RBZ, as well as Hagen, Streiff, Newton & Oshiro, which was
previously listed in the Southwest.
A number of firms are missing from this years list:
Washingtons LeMaster & Daniels merged with Larson-
Allen, while Los Angeles-based Stonefield Josephson
merged with Marcum. Frazer Frost, which had joined the
list last year through a large merger, fell off this year when
the constituent firms decided to de-merge.
