Forbes is announcing the opening of nominations for our inaugural list of America’s top 200 certified public accountants, a recognition designed to highlight the most exceptional, practicing CPAs throughout America—the elite in the accounting profession. Our aim is to identify the CPAs who have earned the respect of their peers and have demonstrated remarkable expertise in their specializations. We are particularly interested in CPAs who have made their mark by dedicating themselves to serving the public interest.

To do so, Forbes has developed a thorough methodology for identifying, vetting, and selecting candidates. As an integral part of this process, we are seeking recommendations from the wider business community. If you know, or are aware of, a CPA who demonstrates both excellence and a consistent track record of success, we invite you to nominate them for the 2024 recognition.

Please submit your nominations through the provided link by January 12, 2024. Our editorial team will carefully review each nominee. Selected CPAs will be contacted with requests for additional information as they advance in the selection process.
