Lutz Named a 2026 Top 100 Firm by INSIDE Public Accounting

“This recognition starts with our people," said Taylor Kendall, Accounting Division Leader at Lutz. "As our profession becomes more complex, we're committed to creating an environment where talented people continue learning, deepening their industry expertise, embracing new technology, and finding better ways to serve our clients. That's how we'll continue meeting the changing needs of the businesses we serve."

For Lutz, the recognition reflects both the firm's commitment to preparing for what's next and the values that have guided it from the beginning.

"We've never chased growth for the sake of growth," said Ryan Cook, Managing Shareholder at Lutz. "Our focus has always been on developing great people, building lasting relationships, and helping clients succeed. That's what has shaped our firm, and it continues to guide where we're headed."

The IPA Top 100 ranking is based on U.S. net revenues and compiled through IPA's annual Practice Management Survey, which gathers data from accounting firms across the country. The annual ranking provides insight into the nation's largest public accounting firms.

In addition, Lutz was named an IPA Best of the Best firm. This recognition honors 75 CPA firms across the country for their exceptional financial and operational performance. It's based on a proprietary scoring formula that assesses over 35 criteria from more than 600 participating firms in IPA's Practice Management Survey. The evaluations cover metrics such as revenue growth, governance policies, long-term planning, professional development, outsourcing, compensation, and process improvement.
