Celebrating Excellence: 9 Barnes Dennig CPAs Named to Forbes’ Inaugural “America’s Best-In-State” List
Published on by Kat Jenkins in Firm News
An impressive nine Barnes Dennig CPAs are among Forbes’ inaugural America’s Best-in-State CPAs list – a recognition that speaks volumes not only about the expertise of our professionals but also about the trust, dedication, and forward-thinking insight they bring every day to our clients, our colleagues, and our community.
Forbes’ Best in State CPA list doesn’t just recognize technical excellence – according to the publication, candidates were evaluated on multiple criteria, including thought leadership, service to their profession and communities, and their ability to bring innovation to the table.
“We’re deeply honored by this prestigious recognition and extremely proud of the dedicated team of professionals we’ve built at Barnes Dennig,” said Managing Director Jay Rammes. “It speaks volumes to the commitment and passion they bring not just to the work and our profession, but to the communities where we all live and work. The people on this list serve on boards, volunteer for causes they care about, and work every day to build a brighter future for all of us. They continue the tradition generations of leaders have built here at Barnes Dennig.”
At a time when CPAs are retiring in record numbers and fewer graduates are entering the profession, the value of a seasoned, forward-thinking CPA has never been greater. Whether you’re steering a business or non-profit through uncertain economic waters or navigating personal financial and estate planning, a qualified CPA is the gold standard – not just for compliance, but as trusted strategists who help clients grow, adapt, and thrive.
At its core, this list is more than just a ranking – it’s a tribute to the endless hours CPAs dedicate to their craft, their clients, and the betterment of the accounting profession as a whole – from providing professional education to other CPAs to conducting peer reviews that aren’t just punitive but designed to help the firm grow and increase quality through best practices sharing and ongoing advice.
We’re honored that our firm is home to 9 of these trailblazing professionals – their recognition is a testament to the culture of integrity, independence, and client service we continue building into a better, brighter future.
To our CPAs who earned this honor, congratulations – you make us all proud. And to our clients, colleagues, and community, thank you for trusting us to be your advisors and your advocates.
The nine honorees are:
- Jay Rammes
- Andy Bertke
- Scott Cress
- Tom Groskopf
- Lauren Huster
- Harold Kremer
- Robert Ramsay
- Matt Rosen
