PYA Named a Top 100 Firm for 10th Year, Serving Clients Across Georgia
Atlanta – 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 is pleased to be a member and/or sponsor of the following organizations in Georgia and the greater Atlanta area:
- Georgia Hospital Association
- Georgia Society of Healthcare Compliance and Privacy Leaders
- Georgia Academy of Healthcare Attorneys
- Georgia Alliance of Community Hospitals
- Community Bankers Association Of Georgia
