80 Years Strong: Adams Brown Ranks #106 Nationally

When AI, inflation, tariffs and shifting tax laws hit all at once, running a business can feel like aiming at a moving target. That’s when having the right advisor makes all the difference. That’s why Adams Brown has earned a spot among the top CPA firms in the country, ranking #106 in the 2025 INSIDE Public Accounting Top 200 list.

The recognition comes as the firm prepares to celebrate its 80th anniversary on Nov. 1, a milestone that reflects not just longevity but consistent, client-driven growth.

“For most of our clients, success isn’t just about profit—it’s about clarity,” said Ben Wilson, managing principal and CEO of Adams Brown. “Our job is to help them see around corners, make smart moves and keep the numbers working in their favor. This ranking is really a reflection of the trust they place in us.”
Adams Brown has steadily expanded its services and reach, with net revenue increasing from $44.3 million in 2022 to $48.5 million in 2023, and reaching $54.1 million in 2024.

But behind those numbers is a focus on what really maters: helping clients adapt to change, reduce risk and pursue opportunity with confidence.

Helping Business Owners Make Confident Decisions

Ask any business owner and they’ll tell you—the rules keep changing. One day it’s a new AI tool that promises to save time, the next it’s a tax law that affects how you pay your team or invest in equipment. It’s not just about staying compliant anymore. It’s about staying prepared.

That’s where Adams Brown comes in. We work alongside business owners to help them make sense of the changes, spot opportunities and avoid costly missteps. Whether it’s updating internal processes, planning for growth or responding to new legislation, our team helps clients act with confidence instead of playing catch-up.

“Anyone can file your taxes. We help you make decisions,” said Wilson. “It’s about knowing your industry, understanding your goals and giving you the tools to move forward.”

More Than Accounting

Adams Brown works with closely held businesses across a range of industries including construction, manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, dental and more. Many of these businesses don’t have large internal finance teams. That’s where the firm steps in, offering not just compliance support but real-world problem solving.

From outsourced CFO services to succession planning, the firm’s approach is built around anticipating needs before they become urgent and tailoring advice to each client’s situation.
Clients often cite the ability to call their advisor with a question and get a direct, informed answer that saves them time, money or both.

A Culture of Listening and Learning

Adams Brown’s growth hasn’t come from chasing trends. It comes from listening. Over the years, the firm has expanded its services and expertise in direct response to client needs. Internally, they’ve reengineered processes, added specialized teams and adopted new tools to make client service faster, more efficient and more proactive.

The result? Fewer surprises. Smoother audits. Cleaner books. And smarter planning.

As Adams Brown approaches its 80th year, the firm isn’t slowing down—it’s doubling down on what maters most: helping business owners protect what they’ve built and plan for what’s next. About Adams Brown – Strategic Allies and CPAs
