Forbes is announcing the opening of nominations for our inaugural list of America’s top AI consultants in CPA firms, a recognition designed to highlight the most exceptional AI consultants practicing throughout America. Our aim is to identify the AI consultants who have demonstrated remarkable expertise implementing AI solutions for clients. We are particularly interested in the AI consultants who have made their mark by dedicating themselves to serving the public interest.
To do so, Forbes has developed a thorough methodology for identifying, vetting, and selecting candidates. As an integral part of this process, we are seeking recommendations from the wider business community. If you know, or are aware of, an AI consultant practicing in a CPA firm who demonstrates both excellence and a consistent track record of success, we invite you to nominate them for the 2026 recognition.
Please submit your nominations through the provided link by June 15, 2026. Our editorial team will carefully review each nominee. Selected AI consultants will be contacted with requests for additional information as they advance in the selection process.
Please note that this list is entirely merit-based and qualitative – there is no fee to participate, and candidates cannot pay to be listed.
Any questions about submissions or the upcoming list should be directed to TopCPAs@forbes.com
