Parsippany, NJ – [September 29, 2026] – SAX, a leading accounting, tax and advisory firm, today announced its selection as one of the INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA) “Best of the Best” public accounting firms for 2026. The honor is the seventh year in a row that the firm has earned a place on this select list.
The recognition follows a year of strong growth for SAX. The firm grew 13.4% organically in fiscal 2025, nearly double the 7.0% average IPA reported for its 100 largest firms, and reported $138 million in revenue.
“Seven straight years on the Best of the Best list says a great deal about the culture our team has created at SAX,” said Joseph A. Damiano, CEO and Managing Partner of SAX. “This achievement belongs to our people. Our goal is to be the first call a client makes and the work our team does every day to earn that is what keeps us on this list.”
Every year, INSIDE Public Accounting recognizes 75 firms across North America for outstanding financial and operational performance. More than 600 firms took part in IPA’s 2026 Practice Management Survey, and honorees were scored on over 35 key performance metrics, including net revenue growth, leverage, governance practices, long-range planning, professional development, outsourcing strategies, compensation models, and process improvement.
Recognizing high-performing firms for nearly three decades, IPA’s Best of the Best program has never treated size, structure, or footprint as the deciding factor. Instead, it rewards disciplined management, strategic vision, and steady growth. Honorees are firms that deliver strong financial results while also making sustained investments in their people, their clients, and the communities they serve.

The IPA Best of the Best Methodology
To identify North America’s 75 top-performing firms, IPA examines more than 35 key performance metrics from its comprehensive Practice Management Survey, which draws participation from more than 600 firms. The 2026 honorees comprise 60 firms with more than $10 million in net revenue, 10 firms under $10 million, and five firms based in Canada. For a fair and accurate comparison, IPA relies on a trimmed average, which removes statistical outliers to present a balanced view of firm performance.
Beyond the financials, IPA’s proprietary and evolving scoring formula weighs a wide range of qualitative factors, including staffing, training, governance, organizational structure, decision-making, and strategic vision. Taking this holistic view means Best of the Best honorees are more than strong performers on paper — they pair solid financial results with sound leadership, sustainable growth practices, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
