GBQ, a top 100 tax, accounting, and consulting firm, is pleased to share that it has once again been named one of Central Ohio’s Best Places to Work by Columbus Business First, marking an impressive milestone of nearly two decades of recognition in this prestigious program.
Now a staple in the region, the Best Places to Work awards have celebrated outstanding workplace cultures since 2005. Each year, companies are evaluated through a comprehensive, independent employee engagement survey administered by Quantum Workplace, with honorees selected based on direct employee feedback. GBQ is proud to be recognized alongside other leading organizations in Central Ohio that prioritize employee experience, engagement, and growth.
This year GBQ earned a Top 5 ranking in the large company category, reinforcing its ongoing commitment to cultivating a workplace where people feel valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.
“We are incredibly proud of our team for creating an environment where individuals feel empowered to grow, collaborate, and make a meaningful impact for our clients and for each other. This recognition energizes us to keep raising the bar,” said Darci Congrove, CPA, GBQ Managing Partner.
In addition to this recognition, GBQ continues to earn accolades at the local, regional, and national levels for its commitment to excellence and innovation in the accounting profession and beyond, further underscoring its position as both an employer of choice and a trusted advisor.
So far in 2026, GBQ has been the recipient of several accolades recognizing its commitment to empowering growth: Accounting Today’s 2026 Top 100 Firms, USA TODAY’s 2026 list of America’s Most Recommended Tax & Accounting Firms, and Columbus Business First’s 2026 Largest Accounting Firms in Central Ohio.
