Why Construction Executive's Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms ranking matters

Construction Executive's 2026 Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms™ ranking is based on survey data submitted by accounting firms with dedicated construction practices across the United States. The methodology considers several factors, including construction-practice revenue, number of CPAs serving the construction sector, percentage of firm revenue derived from construction clients, geographic reach, years of experience in the construction industry, and the number of architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) clients served during fiscal year 2025.

Unlike broader accounting industry rankings, this recognition focuses specifically on firms with proven expertise serving construction companies and supporting the unique accounting, tax, audit, compliance, and financial management needs of the industry.

H&CO is honored to celebrate this milestone alongside its clients, partners, and team members. The firm remains committed to delivering specialized construction accounting services, strategic tax planning, audit support, and business advisory solutions that help construction companies operate more efficiently and grow sustainably.
