PYA Inducted into The University of Kansas Health System Hall of Fame
PYA is honored to announce its induction into The University of Kansas Health System Hall of Fame, the highest honor bestowed by the health system.
PYA is recognized as a 2023 Hall of Fame Partner in Excellence Award recipient, which honors organizations that partner with the health system to make a lasting impact on the people of the region.
“A partner creates a relationship with us, believes in us, and answers the call anytime we call, and that’s what PYA has done throughout the years,” said Bob Page, The University of Kansas Health System President and CEO.
“We are deeply honored by the recognition from The University of Kansas Health System,” said Marty Brown, PYA President and CEO. “The induction into the Hall of Fame is truly a remarkable reflection of the core values PYA holds dear. Above all, we work every day to serve our clients with a focus on building relationships, and our work with The University of Kansas Health System reflects that passion. We are honored and privileged to have been able to partner with this incredible health system for 13 years.”
PYA’s partnership with The University of Kansas Health System began in 2010 when the firm helped the system acquire Kansas City Cancer Center. Since then, PYA has served the system with valuation, transaction, and integration services related to several strategic growth initiatives, such as the 2022 opening of the Proton Therapy Center, the affiliation with Olathe Health, and the development of the Kansas Heart and Stroke Collaborative, which now provides resources for more than 80 rural communities within the state.
The University of Kansas Health System has grown to become one of the most recognized health systems in the country, being honored nationally by Forbes, Newsweek, Fortune, and others. The health system has continually been honored for its clinical achievements, earning many honors and accolades including recognition as one of the top 50 programs in eight adult medical and surgical specialties by U.S. News & World Report.
“The University of Kansas Health System has plans to keep expanding our services and providing robust care…and you can bet PYA will continue to be one of our first calls,” said Steve Stites, MD, Executive Vice President, Clinical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer.
PYA Named a Top 100 Firm for 10th Year, Serving Clients Across Kansas
Overland Park – March 11, 2026
For the 10th year in a row, PYA has been named a Top 100 Accounting Firm, as published in the Accounting Today 2026 Top 100 Firms report. PYA also repeats as the U.S. leader in revenue attributable to consulting and advisory work among firms of similar size. With offices in Atlanta, Charlotte, Kansas City, Knoxville, Nashville, and Tampa, PYA is again recognized as one of the Top 10 largest firms headquartered in the Southeast.
The 2026 rankings are based on 2025 total revenues, percentage of revenue increase, number of employees, and other metrics collected through a survey process of accounting firms.
“The accounting industry is facing many challenges and growth opportunities, but we feel PYA is well positioned to provide responsive and expert service to our clients,” said Marty Brown, CEO. “PYA offers an impactful dyad approach for our clients as both a certified public accounting firm and a nationally awarded consulting and business advisory company. In today’s evolving industry, our flexibility and foresight ensure we’re serving our clients comprehensively.”
According to the Accounting Today report, the average growth rate in 2025 for the Top 100 firms was about 8.6%, an increase over 2024. The rate of growth was mainly due to mergers—225 in 2025, up from 122 in 2024—and an infusion of private-equity funding, according to the report. As an independently owned firm, PYA experienced a growth rate of 11%, well above the national average, and all of the firm’s growth was organic, with no mergers or acquisitions.
Noted in the 2026 report, a large percentage of the increased revenue reported by survey respondents came from the growth of client accounting and advisory services (CAAS)/fractional accounting and attestation services. During 2025, PYA’s fractional accounting services experienced sizeable growth by offering reporting and attestation, business process outsourcing, and virtual controllership and CFO services to help clients focus on running their businesses while reducing costs and scaling their operations. Several of PYA’s consulting service lines, such as forensic accounting, litigation support, and business valuation, also experienced tremendous growth during the year.
“PYA chooses to remain a privately owned firm, so we can keep clients as our top priority,” Brown said. “The 2026 report notes client service became a focus for the Top 100 firms. At PYA, client service has always been at the core of our culture, and as the industry shifts, one aspect will continue to remain constant for PYA: radical responsiveness to our clients’ needs.”
PYA and our Kansas City teammates are pleased to support these organizations among others in the region:
