We’re Proud to Be Recognized as a Top Firm for Young Accountants — Ranked #20 for 2025

We are excited to announce that we have been recognized as the #20 Best Accounting Firm for Young Accountants in 2025 by Accounting Today and Best Companies Group. This year’s recognition reaffirms our continued commitment to building a workplace where the next generation of accounting professionals can learn, grow, and thrive.

In an industry still marked by ongoing talent shortages and rising expectations for workplace flexibility, our ranking reflects the intentional steps we’ve taken to support young professionals. From investing in development programs to nurturing a culture of trust and balance, we remain focused on empowering early-career accountants to build strong, successful futures.

Securing and retaining the next generation of employees goes beyond offering good compensation, it depends on cultivating a culture that matches their priorities and aspirations,” said Holly Feltenberger, Director of Talent Acquisition and Retention. “Young accountants want to feel trusted and empowered. They want the flexibility to enjoy a fulfilling personal life while advancing their careers, and we’re proud to provide that foundation.

Even as the industry evolves, our dedication to fostering a workplace centered on growth and well-being remains unwavering. This year’s ranking highlights the consistency of that commitment.

Preparing the Next Generation – Starting Early

Our commitment to developing young professionals is driven in large part by our comprehensive internship and early-career pipeline. Outreach begins as early as high school, giving students an early look at the profession through real exposure, not busywork.

We want interns to experience the real-world challenges and opportunities of accounting,” said Janice Snyder, Assurance and HR Partner. “By providing hands-on learning and dedicated mentorship, we’re not just preparing future accountants, we’re investing in the future of our firm.

This approach ensures that by the time interns transition into full-time roles, they already feel connected, capable, and supported.

A Culture Rooted in Professional Development

Our firm continues to prioritize education and career advancement for young accountants. This includes:

• Comprehensive CPA exam support
• Paid time off to sit for the exam
• Ongoing CPE opportunities
• Tailored career development plans
• Mentor, buddy, and supervisor relationships for every employee

The key to retaining top talent is showing them that we are just as invested in their growth as they are in their careers,” Feltenberger added. “Our development structure ensures employees always have guidance, encouragement, and resources.

Flexibility and Well-Being at the Core

The modern workplace demands flexibility, and we are committed to meeting those expectations. Our “dress for your day” policy, hybrid work opportunities (where applicable), and continued focus on mental well-being create an environment where employees can do their best work while maintaining a healthy personal life.

We value transparency and open dialogue,” Snyder shared. “When our team feels heard and supported, collaboration strengthens and satisfaction increases, and that’s the culture we aim to build every day.

Looking Ahead

While being recognized as one of the best firms for young accountants is an honor, it also serves as motivation. We remain committed to evolving, listening, and innovating, ensuring that our firm continues to be a place where young professionals can flourish.

A supportive culture. A focus on growth. A commitment to work-life balance. These values continue to drive us, guide us, and define who we are as a firm.

We are proud of this year’s recognition, and even more proud of the vibrant community of young professionals who make our firm what it is.
