Like many of our clients, McGladrey started out small. Striving. Entrepreneurial. What distinguished us from our competitors was our keen focus on client service. It has always been all about understanding our clients – their business, their aspirations, their challenges. By understanding our clients, we are able to provide them with fresh insights and tailored expertise to help them succeed.

Today, McGladrey is a respected industry force, with coast-to-coast offices and global resources that serve our clients’ growing business needs. By joining forces with other like-minded firms, we’ve integrated new talent, expertise and capabilities into the McGladrey fold. So while we come from different places, we share core values – a focus on building relationships, excellence, integrity and unity – that remain true to our founding principles.

We are key to our clients’ success. When they succeed, we succeed. And based in part on recent awards and recognitions we are succeeding. Here ar ea few of our recent national acknowledgements:
