Posted by lirn on February 3, 2008
Each year, many groups perform market research in order to place the top 50 or financial firms across the States. Recently Vault released their study based on industry experts feedback and polling.
As you take a look through the list most firms are repeats, but you may notice some new names that rounded out the top 40 for 2008. Do with it what you’d like, but I wanted to post this info for others in the LIRN community.

Thank you for the update, I think my struggle either working with a larger firm or through my practice is understand the valude of long term partnering. As a practicing accounting professional and consultant I tend to look at the larger picture versus the tactical position that most recrutiers. Whiel I know in the end it’s up to the firm to decide which vendors suit their needs, I’d like to maintain continued relationships as service provider.
