This is the inaugural year of the Best-In-State CPA program, which cites CPAs leading the accounting profession in tax, auditing and management consulting. 

Suzanne Forbes and Justyna Mueller were two of only 42 Florida CPAs making the list. In creating the list, Forbes (the national media company and no relation to Suzanne) initially identified thousands of candidates via interviews with industry leaders, outside nominations, editorial research and an independent advisory board of CPAs. Candidates were then assessed under multiple categories, including achievements, influence on the accounting profession, individual honors, thought leadership and more, before the list was narrowed down to the top CPAs in each state across the nation.

“Many great leaders in our industry are doing amazing work, and the pace can be challenging with the amount of change in businesses and communities today,” said Suzanne. ”Being selected for this honor makes me even more certain the leadership decisions I’m making are vital to the success of our organization and profession.”

“Throughout my career, my goal has been to help both my clients and my fellow CPAs thrive as our industry evolves,” said Justyna. “That makes this recognition from Forbes even more meaningful. I’m truly honored.”
