Sixty accounting firms have been honored as the Best Accounting Firms to Work For by Accounting Today.

The ranking will appear in the January 5, 2009 issue of Accounting Today. The 60 firms are organized into three size categories: five small-sized firms (15-24 employees), 40 medium-sized firms (25-249 employees) and 15 large-sized firms (more than 250 employees).

To be considered for participation, companies had to be public or privately held U.S. accounting firms with at least 15 employees.

Firms from across the country entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Accounting Firms to Work For. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated firm's workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration, survey and analysis process and determined the final rankings.
