The Firm Ranks #33 in Top 50 List from Construction Executive Magazine

PBMares earned a spot on Construction Executive’s (CE) annual ranking of influential firms in construction accounting. The ranking is based on an independent survey from several hundred accounting firms and measures the depth and breadth of a firm’s expertise and focus on the construction industry.

PBMares debuted at #33 among the 50 firms in the ranking.

Jennifer French, Tax Partner and Team Leader of PBMares’ Construction & Real Estate practice, said that “Being recognized as one of the top accounting and advisory firms in the construction industry is really a testament to the many years our team has spent building a rapport with clients. This may be our first year on the national list, but we’ve been here providing hands-on guidance to construction and real estate companies since 1990.” She added, “We love working in the construction space and we’re thrilled to be part of CE’s Top 50 listing.”

Now in its 22nd year of publication, CE is the leading trade magazine about the business of construction. In its July/August 2024 issue, CE published a comprehensive ranking of The Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms™.

To determine the ranking, CE asked hundreds of U.S. accounting firms with a construction practice to complete a survey. Data collected included: 1) 2023 revenues from construction practice; 2) number of CPAs in construction practice; 3) percentage of firm’s total revenues from construction practice; 4) number of construction clients in 2023; 5) number of office locations with a construction accounting practice; 6) number of employees with CCIFP certification; and 7) year construction accounting practice established.

The ranking was determined by an algorithm that weighted these factors in descending order of importance. For more information, contact surveys@magazinexperts.com.
