Construction Practice Continues to Build Big Impacts Across Industry
CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP) is proud to announce it has been ranked the #2 construction accounting firm in the country by Construction Executive in its 2025 list of top firms with a dedicated construction practice. CLA has consistently been ranked in the top 2 places in the annual list for the last six years.
This recognition is a powerful testament to the trust CLA’s clients place in the firm and the deep experience and ability that the firm’s construction professionals bring to every engagement. Annually, Construction Executive reaches more than 55,000 commercial, industrial, and institutional contractors and construction-related business owners to rank and identify the accounting and professional services firms that are truly shaping the future of the industry.
“Very few firms nationwide can rival our legacy and unparalleled knowledge in the construction sector,” explained Paul Bailey, Chief Growth Officer for CLA. “The construction industry is constantly on the move, with new challenges around every corner — tariffs, shifting interest rates, evolving tax codes, and more. Our teams don’t just deliver accounting talent; we anticipate market shifts, stay ahead of regulatory changes, and proactively equip our clients to seize every opportunity and tackle any obstacle. We are relentless in driving our clients’ success and preparing them for whatever comes next.”
CLA earned its spot through a combination of factors, including the number of CPAs, principals, and team members with CCIFP certification, total revenues, geographic reach, and the number of construction clients served. CLA’s construction practice remains one of the most robust in the nation, and with roughly 130 offices and 9,000 professionals, the firm remains committed to helping current and future clients thrive in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
“We’re honored to be recognized again, but the biggest honor comes from the trust and respect our clients have for CLA,” said Tom Dearnley, Managing Principal of CLA’s construction industry. “Our team is dedicated to understanding the unique challenges and opportunities facing contractors and construction-related businesses. By working side-by-side with our clients, we deliver tailored guidance and proactive solutions that help them navigate the industry’s complexities and seize new opportunities. We’re proud of the meaningful relationships we’ve built and the lasting impact we help bring to our clients and the industry as a whole.”
From tax and audit to operational strategy and digital transformation, CLA’s construction professionals bring timely insights and tailored solutions that help our clients build with confidence.
