Construction Executive’s annual rankings of accounting firms awarded CBIZ the #1 position in its 2025 list, “The Top 50 Construction Accounting Firms.”
The award represents a leap from CBIZ prior year’s ranking of 8 and is the first ranking to follow the acquisition of Marcum LLP, which itself ranked 5 in 2024.
Joe Natarelli, leader of the firm’s construction practice, attributes the recognition to the seamless integration of two top practices, saying: “It’s a true honor to receive this recognition. It’s a reflection of our investment in growth and ongoing commitment to serving the construction industry. Furthermore, it celebrates the success of our efforts to combine and strengthen our capabilities by bringing together two of 2024’s top 10 firms in the industry.”
With a deeper bench of industry professionals and a broader range of specialized services – spanning many of the engines driving today’s economy including technology, transfer pricing, risk management, and more – CBIZ’s capabilities have progressed far beyond standard accounting and tax services. Similarly, the firm’s geographic footprint has grown to offer a local presence in virtually every U.S. jurisdiction, enabling tailored local insights supporting businesses entering new markets, as well as established regional leaders.
Joe also celebrated the firm’s approach to client service, which he sees as the driving force behind CBIZ’s growing reputation in construction and beyond. “We work hard as a firm to never lose sight of our responsibility to clients. That means that no level of growth or increase in activity distracts us from the personalized client service, high-touch attention, and responsiveness that have gotten us where we are today. Results matter and we’re proud of the success that we’ve helped our clients achieve. But how you get there matters too – while assisting clients in overcoming industry challenges, like those we see today with tariffs, tax law changes, emergent technology, and in a myriad of other areas, we remain dedicated to earning and retaining their trust and grateful for each opportunity. Because we’ve made that so central to our culture, it’s something being #1 won’t change.”
Joe added in closing “I want to thank all of our partners and send a big congratulatory message to our team members. Their dedication and hard work laid the foundation for this recognition and we appreciate those efforts immensely. This recognition reflects just how much effort they pour into their work and I hope they are as proud of themselves as I am of them.”
