Platinum award recognizes ten consecutive years as program honoree
PITTSBURGH, PA – Schneider Downs, a top 60 accounting and consulting firm, announced today that it has earned the Best of Accounting 10 Year Platinum Award for providing superior service to their clients for at least ten (10) consecutive years.
ClearlyRated’s Best of Accounting® Award winners have proven to be industry leaders in service quality based entirely on ratings provided by their clients to an independent third-party data collector. On average, clients of winning agencies are 70% more likely to be completely satisfied with the services provided compared to those working with non-winning agencies.
The Platinum Award designation is bestowed only on firms that have earned the Best of Accounting Award for at least 10 years in a row, consistently earning industry-leading satisfaction scores from their clients. Of those firms that participated in the Best of Accounting program throughout 2025, only 4.3% have earned the 10-Year Platinum Award.
“The foundation of our success as a firm has been our genuine commitment to and interest in the success and satisfaction of our clients,” said Steven D. Thompson, Co-CEO, Schneider Downs. “For that reason, measuring our client service performance will always be important to us. Receiving recognition for our long-term success is an important validation that our efforts on behalf of our clients are impactful.”
“It’s an honor to introduce the 2026 Best of Accounting award winners,” said Baker Nanduru, CEO of ClearlyRated. “These companies keep client experience front and center, pushing the envelope in innovative service approaches. Their work is shaping the future of accounting, and it’s a privilege to recognize their achievements. Congratulations to all!”
