At Kirsch, being employee-owned means our success is built by every one of us. We prioritize a culture that celebrates collaboration, empowers our people, and delivers exceptional results for our clients. This year, our shared commitment has led to remarkable recognition—a true reflection of the passion and dedication we bring to our work, our clients, and our community every day.

Inside Public Accounting’s Best of the Best

Each year, Inside Public Accounting (IPA) evaluates more than 600 firms across the country using a rigorous scoring formula of 35+ metrics. From this, only 75 firms earn the honor of Best of the Best—and Kirsch has once again made the list.

For 11 years, we have been recognized as a small firm winner. This year marks a milestone achievement: we are proud to be recognized in the large firm category for companies over $10 million in revenue.

Inside Public Accounting Top 500

This is our 5th year ranking in the Top 500, and in 2025 Kirsch came in at #416 out of more than 46,000 CPA firms nationwide. The Top 500 list is based on net revenue and includes firms ranging from the Big 4 to No. 500—making this recognition an incredible honor and testament to our firm’s growth and strength.

Goering Center Family & Private Business

For the second time, our firm has been honored by the Goering Center. This year’s theme of “Enduring Excellence, Embracing Change, Fueling Growth” recognized us for strategic commitment as we transitioned our firm to a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) structure allowing us to proudly remain independent.

Cincinnati Business Courier’s Best Places to Work

For 9 years, Kirsch has been named one of the Best Places to Work in the Cincinnati region. This recognition is especially meaningful because it’s based on employee satisfaction—a true reflection of the culture we’ve built together.

Ohio Business Magazine’s Best Workplaces in Ohio

For the 8th year, Kirsch has been recognized among the Best Workplaces in Ohio. This award honors companies that not only drive results but also make a lasting difference in their communities and in the lives of their employees.

These awards are proof that our team is our greatest asset—creating a foundation for sustainable growth and shared success.

Thank you to our dedicated team, valued clients, and supporters. Here’s to many more years of excellence, adaptability, and growth—together.
