Inside Public Accounting Names Moore Colson as One of its 2006 Best of The Best Firms

Atlanta, Georgia (October 30, 2006) – Atlanta based accounting firm, Moore Colson, was recently named as one of America’s 2006 Top 25 Accounting Firms by Inside Public Accounting (IPA). IPA is a leading business publication for the accounting industry, providing independent reporting and analysis of the accounting profession. It is the longest running, most comprehensive and accurate independent analysis focusing on management operations of America’s large local, regional, and national firms.

IPA’s All-Stars are selected from hundreds of firms, based exclusively on their performance in specific areas of practice management in comparison to the hundreds of other firms participating in the publication’s 16-year-old annual analysis of firms. Only 25 have been dubbed the “Best of the Best” as the nation’s 25 best managed firms, based on fiscal and management performance. “INSIDE Public Accounting’s Best Of The Best designation is an elite honor because it’s based entirely on fiscal and operational performance,” IPA Publisher Michael Platt explained. “These twenty-five firms are at the top of their game, and are operating in ‘the zone’ of exceptional performance.” The Best of the Best firms’ net revenue increased by almost 25 percent. They generate a significantly higher percentage of revenue from consulting services than traditional services. Average staff salaries at the top 25 firms are higher than for all firms, while their turnover rate is nearly 2 points lower than that of the 100 largest non-national firms. “We are extremely proud to have been recognized by Inside Public Accounting as one of America’s Top 25 Accounting firms. This is quite an honor to be included in this group of leading U.S. firms, said Greg Colson, Managing Partner, Moore Colson. “Each day, we strive to be the very best we can for both our clients and employees. We hope to continue this effort year-in and year-out.”
