ARTICLE | August 04, 2026

Heard, McElroy & Vestal, LLC (HMV) has again been named a top 500 CPA firm by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA). The annual ranking lists the 500 largest accounting firms in the United States by net revenue using data submitted through IPA Practice Management Survey. HMV moved from 178 in 2025 to 173 in this most recent list.

We remain focused on serving them well and building a strong firm for the future.”

"The 2026 IPA 500 tells one story at every level," said Chelsea Summers, Executive Director at IPA. "From the largest firms down to the smallest, we're seeing the same forces at work: steady growth, rising profits and a widening embrace of offshore talent and alternative pricing. The gap between a $10 million firm and a $60 million one has never been narrower. This year's rankings show a profession playing the same game at every size, just at different speeds."
