USA TODAY is set to release its third annual list of top-rated tax and accounting firms in February. Clients and industry professionals can participate in an online survey by Statista to determine the winners. The goal is to recognize approximately 200 firms recommended most by peers, employees, and clients in the U.S.

Participants can recommend up to 10 tax or accounting firms they are familiar with or rate their satisfaction with their own firm. Clients are asked to recommend based on their professional experience in the past three years and can provide detailed ratings after recommending firms. The survey aims to maintain anonymity of participants’ opinions.

Industry professionals are invited to recommend firms they would suggest if their company couldn’t take on a client. Employees are urged to assess their company’s working environment and competitive landscape. Firms with at least one branch in the U.S. state are eligible for recommendations.
