Kernutt Stokes has been named one of INSIDE Public Accounting’s 2025 “Best of the Best” firms in North America, a distinction recognizing the top-performing public accounting firms for their excellence in management, growth and strategic execution.
The annual “Best of the Best” list, limited to just 75 firms across North America, is based on more than 35 key performance metrics, including growth, profitability, strategic planning, and professional development. Kernutt Stokes was recognized in the Best Over $10 Million revenue category.
“We’re honored to be named among the Best of the Best,” said Steve Ritchie, CPA, CFE, managing partner at Kernutt Stokes. “This recognition reflects the dedication and discipline of our people — not just in delivering outstanding results for clients, but in building a firm that continues to grow and evolve with purpose.”
Earlier this year, Kernutt Stokes was named a third time as one of Oregon Business magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon,” underscoring the firm’s ongoing commitment to both performance and people.
“These two distinctions speak to who we are,” Ritchie added. “We believe that when we invest in our culture and operate with excellence, success and recognition follow.”
