Grassi Advances to #15 in Vault’s 2026 Best Accounting Firms, Earns #1 Ranking for Client Interaction
New York, NY – Grassi, a leading provider of advisory, tax, and accounting services, has risen to #15 on Vault’s 2026 Accounting 25 list of top firms to work for, advancing from #16 last year. Notably, the firm has achieved the #1 ranking for Client Interaction, highlighting its client-first approach to delivering exceptional service and solutions.
Grassi also ranked #4 in Business Outlook and climbed five spots to reach #32 in overall prestige. The firm improved its rankings across all five Vault evaluation categories and advanced in all core practice areas, including Forensic Accounting, Audit & Assurance Accounting, and Tax Accounting.
In the Quality of Life and Diversity categories rated by employees, Grassi placed among the nation’s top 10 firms across multiple categories, including Compensation (#6), Work-Life Balance (#6), Culture (#6), Wellness (#6), Firm Leadership (#7), Racial and Ethnic Diversity (#9), and LGBTQ+ Diversity (#9).
As the accounting landscape continues evolving with many firms pursuing private equity investment, Grassi has taken a distinctively different approach by implementing an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Announced in November 2023, Grassi’s ESOP model demonstrates the firm’s deep commitment to independence, employee satisfaction, and exceptional client service.
Vault’s Accounting 25 combines the employee-rated quality of life scores, such as culture, work-life balance, and compensation, with overall prestige to reflect the issues accounting professionals care about most. This year’s rankings further establish Grassi’s reputation for creating a positive workplace culture that drives exceptional client results.
