When it comes to tax and accounting services in the United States, many corporate clients are asking the question: Am I with the right firm? After all, last year was the first tax season under the Trump Administration tax overhaul—the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. That brought pitfalls and opportunities. And now there are major competing tax proposals from the Democratic presidential candidates. Frontrunner Joe Biden has a plan to raise the corporate income tax rate to 28%, backstopped with a 15% minimum tax and a 21% rate on foreign profits. Do the advisors you’re working with understand the new tax law and how to implement it? Do they understand where the law might be heading depending on the 2020 election?

This year, Forbes has partnered with market research company Statista to create a list of the most recommended firms for tax and accounting services in the U.S. The 227 firms identified include the biggest firms in the country and some of the smallest. They’re all tackling the complexities of the ever-changing tax laws head on. Most are full-service, offering tax and accounting. Some were recommended for both services; 202 were recommended for tax; 115 were recommended for accounting. Of course, recommendations are just a starting point. When picking the right firm, it’s not just a matter of whether they bring the sophistication you need, but also whether they give you the level of attention you want, all at a fair price.
