Maxwell Locke & Ritter has once again been recognized among the nation’s largest accounting firms, earning a place among INSIDE Public Accounting’s 2026 IPA Top 200 firms.
The annual IPA 500 ranks the 500 largest accounting firms in the United States by net revenue using data submitted through the IPA Practice Management Survey.
For ML&R, the recognition reflects the firm’s continued growth while remaining focused on the relationships, culture, and client service that have shaped the firm throughout its 35-year history.
“Being recognized among the IPA Top 200 is something our entire team can be proud of,” said Kyle Parks, Leading Partner at ML&R. “Our growth has always been rooted in the strength of our people and the trust our clients place in us. As we celebrate 35 years as a firm, I’m especially proud that we have continued to grow while staying true to the culture and values that have defined ML&R from the beginning.”
ML&R has been consistently recognized by INSIDE Public Accounting in recent years, including its placement at No. 119 on the 2025 IPA Top 500. The firm was also named among the IPA Top 200 in 2024 and 2023.
As ML&R looks toward its next chapter, the firm continues to invest in experienced professionals, expand its capabilities, and help businesses and families navigate increasingly complex financial decisions.
“This recognition is a meaningful reflection of what our team has built together and the relationships we have developed with our clients,” said Lesley Hargraves, Incoming Leading Partner at Maxwell Locke & Ritter. “As we look ahead, our focus is on building upon that strong foundation while continuing to create an environment where our people can grow, our clients feel supported, and we can provide the thoughtful, responsive guidance they expect from ML&R.”
