Since 1987, IPA reports and analyzes the news, trends, strategies and politics that affect the nation’s public accounting firms. IPA provides them with the information and resources they need to compete and operate more profitably.

To be named “Best of the Best”, IPA uses a series of surveys and analyses, which focus on the firm’s growth, income, productivity and staff turnover. This year’s “Best of the Best” list was selected from more than 550 firms that participated in the survey, which were ranked based on more than 70 IPA criteria, including exceptional performance, high level client service, strategic planning and long-term consistency. The Best of the Best is divided in to three categories: Best of the Best above $5 million in revenue, Best of the Best under $5 million in revenue and Best of the Best in Canada.

The 2018 group represents the top 10% of all firms that participated in the 2018 IPA Survey and Analysis of Firms.
