Barnes Dennig Earns Best of Accounting Award for Eighth Consecutive Year
Published on by Bec Morris in Firm News
- Barnes Dennig earned ClearlyRated’s 2026 Best of Accounting Award for the eighth consecutive year based on independently validated client feedback measuring satisfaction and service quality.
- Client feedback is the foundation of this recognition because the award is based on the experiences of the clients Barnes Dennig serves.
- Exceptional client service remains central to the firm’s approach by combining specialized expertise with responsive, relationship-driven service.
- The recognition reflects Barnes Dennig’s commitment to continuous improvement through listening to client feedback and evolving alongside clients’ needs.
Barnes Dennig is proud to announce that the firm has received ClearlyRated’s 2026 Best of Accounting® Award for Client Satisfaction, marking the eighth consecutive year the firm has earned this national recognition.
Barnes Dennig has also been a recipient of the Best of Accounting Client 5 Year Gold designation for the past 4 years: a reflection of the firm’s sustained commitment to delivering an exceptional client experience.
Recognition built on client feedback
What makes the Best of Accounting Award especially meaningful is that it’s based on feedback from the people who experience a firm’s service firsthand: our clients.
ClearlyRated uses independently validated client survey responses and the Net Promoter® Score methodology to measure satisfaction and service quality. Accounting firms must earn a Net Promoter Score of at least 50% to qualify for the award, demonstrating a level of client service that significantly exceeds industry expectations.
According to ClearlyRated, fewer than 1% of accounting firms in the United States and Canada earn Best of Accounting recognition for client or employee satisfaction. Clients of the 2026 award-winning firms are also 70% more likely than the industry average to report being completely satisfied with the services they receive.
For Barnes Dennig, client feedback is more than a measure of satisfaction. It’s an important opportunity to listen, learn, and identify new ways to deliver the responsive service, practical guidance, and personal attention clients expect.
“This award is especially meaningful because it’s rooted in the voices of our clients,” says Barnes Dennig Managing Director Jay Rammes. “Their trust is something we work to earn every day through unparalleled service, in-depth insights based on each client’s unique needs and goals, and an unwavering commitment to their success. I’m incredibly proud of our team for continuing to raise the bar, and grateful to our clients for taking the time to share their feedback and help us keep getting better.”
Eight years of consistent client service
Receiving an award once is an achievement worth celebrating. Earning it eight years in a row reflects something deeper: a culture in which exceptional service is practiced consistently across teams, offices, and client relationships.
At Barnes Dennig, technical expertise and client experience go hand in hand. Whether the team is helping a client address a complex tax issue, complete an audit, plan for a transaction, strengthen operations, or prepare for the future, the goal remains the same—to understand what matters most to the client and provide advice that helps move their organization forward.
That commitment has remained central to Barnes Dennig throughout its continued growth. The firm’s professionals bring specialized knowledge and an expanding range of resources to every engagement while preserving the accessibility, responsiveness, and personal relationships clients value. The firm’s previous Best of Accounting recognitions consistently reflected those same themes: pride in its people, gratitude for client trust, and an enduring commitment to exceptional service.
“It’s an honor to introduce the 2026 Best of Accounting award winners,” said Baker Nanduru, CEO of ClearlyRated. “These companies keep client experience front and center, pushing the envelope in innovative service approaches. Their work is shaping the future of accounting, and it’s a privilege to recognize their achievements. Congratulations to all!”
