Each year, Accounting Today identifies companies that build quality workplaces for employees. The annual survey and awards program honors accounting firms from across the country — identifying and recognizing the best employers in the accounting profession. 2026 is the 11th year that MCB has been named to the list.

Firms from across the United States participated in a survey process to determine Accounting Today’s Best Accounting Firms to Work For. The survey consists of evaluation of each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. There is also an employee survey that is used to measure the employee experience. Data and feedback from both surveys is used to determine the top firms and final rankings.

“We are proud to be recognized by Accounting Today for the eleventh year in this important category.  Since our firm was founded in 1947, we have always made it a priority to invest in and support our people; they are the true heart of our firm. Everyone who is part of MCB — employees and clients alike — is cared for and valued,” said MCB Managing Principal Jude Covas.

MCB was recognized for a variety of programs and initiatives, including offering flexible work schedules, reduced summer hours, access to professional networking, and special social and civic/community events.  In 2026, MCB launched a new learning and development podcast app called LumiQ to earn CPE credits and professional development enrichment.

Employees are encouraged to volunteer in their community for causes that are meaningful to them, and are offered paid time off to participate.  The firm’s “MCB Cares” is an employee-led initiative to support civic and charitable community organizations.
