INSIDE Public Accounting, a Hudson Sawyer publication covering public accounting firms, named the top 25 firms based on fiscal and management performance. These firms, dubbed Best Of The Best, are featured in the October 2005 issue of INSIDE Public Accounting and range in size from $10.2 million to more than $340 million in net revenue.

IPA's best-managed accounting firms are selected from the hundreds of firms that participate in the publication's annual survey of accounting firms. The selections are based on more than 30 criteria that serve as commonly accepted indicators of great management of accounting firms. They include revenue growth, profitability and profitability growth, human resources and staff issues, management of resources and rewards to owners. Size and location are not factors in being named Best Of The Best.

The publication also selected 25 firms as runners-up. For a copy of the list, visit http://www.hudsonsawyer.com/IPA-best.pdf.
