In the summer of 2018, we launched CountingWorks to provide a marketplace for clients to find qualified cloud accounting and virtual CFO help, including CPAs, EAs and accounting professionals.
CountingWorks spotlights over 200,000 cloud accounting experts spread across the US, and with tens of thousands of visitors and thousands of appointment requests already processed, both clients and experts are finding tremendous value in the site. Our top pro on the site, Christopher Cherico, has already had almost 1,000 visitors in the three short months since his listing was added.
We created CountingWorks because we believe that independent accounting and tax professionals are the backbone of the economy, and that cloud-based firms are looking to the future by taking advantage of all the latest technology the industry has to offer.
Smaller firms provide more personalized service and are more experienced than pop-up chains that come and go or try to wow you with celebrity spokespeople. Taking it to the next level are the firms who recognize the changing expectations of their clients and implement cloud-based practices to match those demands.
For the first time ever, we are pleased to announce the CountingWorks Top 50 cloud accounting experts for 2018. Just like our TaxBuzz Top 100 Tax Professionals, this list will be an annual way for us to recognize professionals listed on the CountingWorks site that receive glowing reviews and regularly showcase the value they provide to their clients.
As you will see in this year's CountingWorks Top 50 list below, many clients describe these experts as “knowledgeable,” “professional,” “efficient,” “friendly,” “responsive” and so much more.
These enthusiastic 5-star reviews illustrate the type of relationship you can expect to have with any of our top CountingWorks cloud accounting experts.
Find your match now or browse through the full CountingWorks Top 50 list below.
Congratulations to the diligent accounting experts that earned a spot on our inaugural list!
