Abbott, Stringham & Lynch Named to America’s Best Tax and Accounting Firms 2023 Lists by Forbes for the Fourth Year in a Row

Campbell, CA (December 9, 2022) – Abbott, Stringham & Lynch (ASL) is honored to be recognized as one of America’s 2023 Best Tax and Accounting Firms by Forbes. This is the fourth year in a row the Firm has been recognized in both the accounting and tax categories.

“We are honored to be recognized by our clients and peers as a Firm they would recommend to others,” said Carol Wagner, Managing Partner. “It is a testament to our team members’ technical expertise and client service.”

In November 2022, Forbes released their findings after partnering with market research company, Statista, to identify a list of the most recommended firms for tax and accounting services in the US. Their methodology entailed collecting and reviewing survey responses from CPAs, enrolled agents, tax attorneys, accountants, and CFOs. Participants who worked for a tax or accounting firm were asked to indicate up to ten tax/accounting firms they would recommend if their company were not able to take on a client for a certain assignment or question. Participants who worked in a company on the client side, were asked to name up to ten tax/accounting firms they would recommend based on their professional experience during the last three years. Self-recommendations were not considered. Approximately 4,400 recommendations were considered in the final analysis.

The survey revealed top concerns for firms of all sizes and geographic regions, as we plan for 2023: avoiding a recession including inflation, the labor market and interest rates; staffing issues; constantly changing tax rules and regulations including depreciation deduction and R&D expenses; and lastly, keeping up with technology such as cryptocurrencies and being able to advise your clients on how to move forward.
