The 2025 IPA 500 list is here.
In this fast-paced episode of the INSIDE Public Accounting podcast, Rob Brown and Chelsea Summers go full horse race. No big-picture trends this time — it's all about who’s new, who’s rising fast, and who’s out.
Highlights include:
- The debutants: Firms like Sorren (#61) and H&Co (#66) enter with bold moves or private equity support.
- Major exits: CBIZ’s acquisition of Marcum and Baker Tilly’s acquisition of Moss Adams reshuffle the top 10.
- The fastest growers: Smith + Howard tops the list with 26.2% organic growth — but they’re not alone.
- Firms on the move: Mid-tier firms like ATKG and Opsal Dawson are making major leaps up the rankings.
- What this all means: PE-backed organic growth, rising geographic diversity and a new playbook for success.
Plus: Benchmarking tips, strategy insights and a candid look at how smaller firms can position themselves to break in next year.
