Managing Partner, Brian Mandell-Rice, explains that Hein has created a culture that it's employees can be proud of and have fun working in. "It is an honor to appear on the Vault 50 list once again," states Mandell-Rice. "At Hein, we are dedicated to professional development and focus on a long-term strategic vision that benefits both clients and employees."

Award Methodology

The rankings are a result of Vault's annual Accounting Survey. Conducted earlier this year, the survey asked more than 10,000 accountants of all levels to assess their peer accounting firms on a scale of 1 to 10 based on prestige (respondents were unable to rate their own employers and were asked to rate only firms with which they were familiar). Accountants were also asked to rate their own firm in various quality of life categories, including firm culture, compensation, overall satisfaction, training, diversity, hours, and work/life balance, among others. To calculate the Accounting 50 Ranking, Vault used a weighted formula that combines a firm's prestige and quality of life ratings, creating an overall "best to work for" ranking that we call the Vault Accounting 50.
