IKYMI: It’s with great pleasure that we congratulate Maria Hurd, CPA, RPA, our fearless employee benefit plan practice group leader and the guiding star for myself, Stacey Snyder, Saaib Uppal, Tyler Starr, and many others, for being recognized on Forbes’ List of America’s Best-in-State CPAs. This list is a compilation of the finest CPAs active in public practice, culled from a collection of candidates sourced through independent nominations and recognitions from numerous associations of CPAs. Those nominated were rated on a range of weighted criteria, including expertise, innovation, thought leadership, experience, and service to the community and to their profession. These criteria exemplify Maria’s work as an employee benefit plan auditor, who has grown the practice from our humble beginnings to auditing over 150 retirement plans annually. Maria speaks frequently to industry organizations, at AICPA conferences, and advisor groups. She gives of her time by being a board member on, and volunteering through, charitable organizations. She has educated our staff, let us lead as we know how, and provided invaluable industry leading ideas, knowledge, and resources for our group, clients, and partners. Forbes has only identified what our EBP Dream Team always knew – that Maria is the best of the best. Congratulations, Maria!!!!
