Bowers CPAs & Advisors Recognized in 2025 IPA Top 300, a National Ranking of Accounting Firms Compiled by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA)

Posted on August 5, 2025

Bowers CPAs

This year, Bowers moved from No. 274 to No. 242, a significant jump that reflects consistent growth in both revenue and reach. Now in its 35th year, the IPA Practice Management Survey is one of the most comprehensive benchmarking tools in the profession, offering insights into financial performance, staffing, and strategic trends across firms nationwide.

A Continued Pattern of Recognition

This latest recognition builds on the momentum we established last year. With over 600 firms participating annually, the IPA rankings offer one of the most trusted benchmarks in the industry.

Moving up in the rankings signals more than growth in numbers. It reflects the trust our clients place in us, our team’s dedication, and our continued focus on identifying opportunities to evolve, improve, and deliver meaningful results.

It also reinforces a broader story: Bowers continues to be acknowledged for excellence in both performance and people.

Earlier this year, we were proud to receive the highest rating in our AICPA Peer Review, a strong indicator that our accounting and auditing practices meet the highest standards of quality and compliance. And for the seventh consecutive year, our team was honored as one of Central New York’s Best Places to Work, based on direct employee feedback.

These honors, alongside our advancement in the IPA rankings, reflect a shared truth: sustainable growth is rooted in strong values, a committed team, and a client-first mindset.

Growth That Starts From Within

At Bowers CPAs, we believe true growth doesn’t start with rankings—it starts with people. From Syracuse to Rochester and Watertown, our team members go beyond the expected to support clients, challenge assumptions, and move businesses forward.

We’ve worked intentionally to build a firm where careers can thrive, voices are heard, and quality is non-negotiable. As a result, our clients benefit from reliable, forward-thinking service that’s grounded in accountability and built to last.

Recognition like the IPA 300 ranking is meaningful because it mirrors what we see every day: teams working hard to deliver exceptional service and move our firm forward. It’s one more affirmation of the path we’re on.
