Non-Top 100 Firms
‘Smaller local firms’ – we have, by far, the largest SEC practice of all non-top 100 firms in North America. This is critical because only multiple audit partners and staff practicing these unique types of audits full-time can attain the depth of expertise that our firm already possesses, which enables us to deliver thorough and efficient audits as a result. The table below represents the largest accounting firms in the United States and Canada outside of the Top 100 Accounting Firms (per Inside Public Accounting newsletter) ranked by the fee volume of audits and other work performed for publicly-owned companies traded on a United States stock exchange.
