RLB LLP NAMED “BEST OF THE BEST” FOR SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR BY INSIDE PUBLIC ACCOUNTING
Guelph, Ontario – October 6th, 2025 — RLB Chartered Professional Accountants is proud to announce that it has once again been named one of INSIDE Public Accounting’s (IPA) “Best of the Best” firms for 2025, marking the firm’s second consecutive year receiving this prestigious distinction.
Each year, IPA conducts one of the most comprehensive benchmarking surveys in the accounting industry, analyzing more than 600 firms across North America, including 41 from Canada, against over 35 key performance metrics. These metrics measure excellence in areas such as growth, leadership, client service, innovation, and culture. Of these firms, only 75 firms earn a place on the elite “Best of the Best” list, with just five firms recognized as the “Best in Canada.” RLB is honoured to stand among them once again.
“This recognition reflects the dedication, innovation, and collaborative spirit of our entire team,” said Matthew Venne, Managing Partner at RLB. “It’s a testament to our commitment to building lasting relationships with our clients and to supporting one another as we continue to grow and evolve together.”
This year’s recognition represents a proud moment in RLB’s ten-year journey with IPA’s Practice Management Survey. For RLB, the achievement goes beyond metrics and rankings; it speaks to a culture where people count, innovation is encouraged, and excellence is sustained.
“We’re tremendously proud of this recognition, but more importantly we’re proud of our people,” added Matthew Venne. “Especially since it isn’t a one-time achievement. It shows who our team really is and what they’re passionate about. I think this really highlights how incredible they are.”
RLB’s recognition will be featured in IPA’s upcoming newsletter and industry publications.
