Awards and Recognition
WS+B is regarded as one of the finest accounting and consulting firms in the Mid-Atlantic region. WS+B's continual growth is one indicator of success. Another is recognition from within the profession and the business community:
- In 2009, WS+B was named an "INSIDE Public Accounting's All-Star Firm" for our performance in the areas of practice management.
- WS+B was named as the “2008 Business of the Year” by NJBIZ magazine in the 101+ Employees category.
- WS+B is ranked among the Top 38 accounting firms in the United States by INSIDE Public Accounting (formerly Bowman's), and the Firm is also ranked as a Top 10 firm in the state by NJBIZ.
- INSIDE Public Accounting rated WS+B "Best of the Best”, a recognition received ten of the last 13 years.
- For the sixth consecutive year, WS+B has earned a position in the "Best Places to Work in New Jersey" in a survey by Best Companies Group in partnership with NJBIZ. In 2008, WS+B was named the #1 CPA Firm on the survey.
- WS+B was ranked 30th among the 40 most prestigious U.S. firms in the 2008 edition of the Vault Guide to the Top Accounting Firms.
- WS+B has achieved six consecutive passing peer reviews without comment.
