Porte Brown is pleased to announce that the firm has been named a 2026 Best of the Best CPA Firm by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA), recognizing Porte Brown among the highest-performing accounting firms in the profession.
Each year, INSIDE Public Accounting recognizes 75 Best of the Best firms based on a comprehensive evaluation of financial and operational performance. The 2026 list includes 60 firms with more than $10 million in net revenue, 10 firms with less than $10 million in net revenue, and five Canadian firms. Porte Brown was recognized in the Best Over $10 Million category.
Best of the Best firms are selected using a proprietary scoring model that evaluates more than 35 performance metrics drawn from the 600-plus firms participating in IPA’s annual Practice Management Survey. Evaluation criteria include net revenue growth, leverage, governance practices, long-range planning, professional development, outsourcing strategies, compensation models, and process improvement.
“Being named an IPA Best of the Best firm is especially meaningful because the recognition reflects much more than growth alone,” said Joseph A. Gleba, CEO & Managing Partner. “It speaks to the discipline, collaboration, and long-term focus our team brings to every aspect of the firm. We continue to invest in our people, strengthen our processes, and adapt to the evolving needs of our clients and profession. I’m proud of what our team has accomplished and grateful for the trust our clients continue to place in Porte Brown.”
For nearly three decades, IPA’s Best of the Best program has recognized high-performing accounting firms across North America. According to IPA, recognized firms demonstrate strong operational and financial performance while maintaining clear growth objectives, adapting to changes within the profession, and building strong workplace cultures.
