This recognition stems from a detailed and comprehensive survey conducted by Statista, in partnership with USA TODAY. The survey gathered recommendations from professionals within the tax and accounting sectors, as well as their clients. Participants were asked to nominate up to ten firms they would endorse if they themselves were unavailable to serve a client. The result is a list of the top 100 “Most Recommended Tax Firms” and the top 100 “Most Recommended Accounting Firms,” with CSH proudly appearing on both.

This dual recognition from USA TODAY highlights the firm’s consistent focus on delivering high-quality services and ensuring client satisfaction. It reflects CSH’s ability to cultivate lasting relationships with clients and peers alike, and emphasizes their commitment to providing practical solutions and expert guidance in the ever-evolving tax and accounting landscape.

For CSH, being named to both the tax and accounting categories is a significant achievement, further establishing its reputation for delivering exceptional results. The inclusion on these prestigious lists is a testament to the firm’s unwavering commitment to helping clients navigate the increasingly complex world of tax and accounting.
