CLA retains its hold on the number one spot for the third consecutive year.
For the third year in a row, CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP) has been ranked the number one construction accounting firm in the United States by Construction Executive. The list recognizes the top independent construction accounting firms in the country.
Construction Executive is now in its 19th year of publication and is considered a leading trade magazine for construction businesses. In the July/August 2021 issue, the magazine published a comprehensive ranking of The Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms , an annual feature that includes detailed breakouts and analysis of the industry.
Rankings were determined by seven key factors:“The construction industry faces very complex challenges, including project delays, staffing shortages, skills gaps, and cost of materials,” said Julian Xavier, CLA principal. “It’s more important than ever for contractors to recognize the impact of these challenges and develop strategies to help create future opportunities. CLA provides the tools for owners and managers to plan for long-term financial success.”
