Richey May is one of the top 50 accounting and advisory firms in the United States. In 2026, the firm earned three national recognitions:
- Named to Accounting Today’s Top 100 Firms
- Named to Inside Public Accounting’s Top 500 Firms
- Named an Inside Public Accounting Fastest-Growing Firm for 2026
For the businesses we serve, a ranking is only as meaningful as what stands behind it. Behind ours is an idea we’ve held since the beginning: clients deserve the full resources of a national firm delivered by specialists who actually understand their industry and their market. A place in the top 50 confirms that the model works. Depth and scale are not a trade-off; clients can have both.
What “Top 50” Means When You’re Choosing a Firm
The accounting profession is large, and the gap between firms is wider than most rankings suggest. The top of the market is dominated by a few enormous global names. Below them sits a crowded field of regional and generalist practices. What’s rare is a firm that operates at national scale while going deep in the specific industries its clients live in.
That is the space Richey May occupies. We are large enough to handle the full complexity of a scaling business, and specialized enough that the people doing the work already understand your industry before the first conversation. This recognition speaks to a specific kind of leader: one who holds their advisors to a high standard and wants guaranteed excellence without the friction, the impersonality, and the premium of the largest global firms. You get senior specialists who know your name and your business, not a rotating cast managing you as one account among thousands.
Depth Is the Difference
Most firms sell breadth. We built the firm around depth. Richey May maintains dedicated practices in mortgage banking, advisory, alternative investments, and cybersecurity, not as add-on service lines but as areas where our specialists work every day. When a client brings us a problem, they are talking to people who already understand the regulatory environment, the reporting demands, and the operational pressures specific to their world.
Specialization compounds. The more deeply we work in a field, the more pattern recognition, benchmarking, and hard-won judgment we bring to the next engagement. That accumulated expertise is the product, and it is the thing a generalist firm cannot replicate and a giant global firm cannot deliver with the same focus.
National Reach That Scales With You
Richey May serves clients across the country and operates across multiple industries and states. That structure is deliberate: a client in any market gets national resources alongside specialists who understand both their industry and their region. Enter a new market, add a business line, expand into a new state, or take on a level of complexity you have never faced before, and the capability is already here. No handoffs, no gaps in coverage.
Being recognized among the nation’s fastest-growing firms tells prospective clients something concrete: our capacity is expanding, not contracting. For a growing company, the worst outcome is outgrowing your advisors. Our trajectory is the opposite. As you grow, we grow, and the resources you need are already in the building.
What This Recognition Reflects
Rankings from Inside Public Accounting and Accounting Today measure revenue, growth, and scale. What they ultimately reflect is a firm that clients choose and stay with because the work holds up. We are proud of where we rank, and we are more focused on continuing to earn it. Richey May belongs at the top of this profession, and we intend to keep climbing.
