At Top CPA Firms in Chicago, we employ a multi-faceted approach to rank the best in the industry. Our ranking methodology is primarily rooted in a variety of quantitative factors. We closely scrutinize a firm's annual revenue, diversity of clientele, range of services, employee expertise, and technological proficiency. Our team of editors painstakingly reviews every piece of information for each ranked entry, ensuring accuracy and relevance. We also place high value on client satisfaction and a firm's ethical standards. This is determined through a mix of client testimonials, reviews, and traditional market research techniques such as secret shopping, interviews, and customer surveys. A firm's global presence is also considered, reflecting its ability to handle cross-border accounting issues. Apart from these, we take into account other proprietary factors, which contribute to our comprehensive and reliable ranking system.
