PYA recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Top Tax and Accounting Firms

PYA was recognized earlier this month on the annual Forbes list of America’s Top Tax and Accounting Firms of 2022. Approximately 4,400 firms across the nation were recommended for this, with 223 being selected. Of those firms, 177 were recognized for both tax and accounting, including PYA.

Firms were selected based on nationwide surveys with accounting/tax professionals and business clients. PYA is the only firm on the list headquartered in Knoxville, and one of only six in Tennessee.

“At PYA we strive to have authentic and honest relationships with our clients across the nation,” said PYA President and Chief Executive Officer Marty Brown. “It is an honor for our firm to be recognized by Forbes, and it demonstrates our continued commitment to serving our clients with excellence.”

In addition to this award from Forbes, PYA has been ranked in the Top 100 Accounting Firms by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) for the last six years. PYA previously was ranked 3rd highest percentage female ownership among the Top 100 Firms by IPA. Accounting Today also named PYA a Top 100 Firm in the nation and Top 10 in the Southeast region. Notably, the Firm also has the highest percentage of consulting/business advisory revenues of all the CPA firms in the country; and, among firms with revenues of $100 million or less, PYA’s consulting/business advisory services revenues lead the nation. In 2017, PYA was recognized in the Accounting Today article “Inside the Top 100—Profiles of Four of the Most Successful Firms in the Profession.” Additionally, it is consistently ranked among the Top 20 healthcare consulting firms in the U.S. by Modern Healthcare.
