Weiss Tops All Accounting Firms on Crain’s 2024 Best Places to Work in Chicago List

On September 12, Crain’s Chicago Business named Weiss & Company LLP as one of the 2024 Best Places to Work in Chicago.

Weiss & Company LLP, a leading accounting and advisory firm headquartered in Glenview, was ranked #68, the highest among participating accounting firms. Data was surveyed and collected by Crain’s program partner Workforce Research Group.

This accolade follows Weiss being named in May 2024 to #6 on a list of Best Places to Work for Women in Illinois. That award program is presented by the Daily Herald Suburban Business and program partner Workforce Research Group.

Dan Fortman, Managing Partner of Weiss, expressed pride in his team at Weiss. “We have a wonderful, diverse, and intelligent group of people who are good at their jobs, with excellent people skills,” he said. “They reflect the importance our firm has always placed on the character of the people we hire and the culture of our workplace. That’s been a Weiss trademark for nearly 60 years.”

Kari Thompson, Talent Acquisition Manager for the firm, agreed. “Weiss epitomizes the benefits a mid-size firm has to offer,” she pointed out. “It’s more inviting, collaborative, and supportive than larger companies. Younger accountants get to try a lot of different things and receive a lot of management and partner support, while more seasoned accountants appreciate the flexibility and sense of team we offer. That makes my job easier and more rewarding.”

Weiss & Company LLP was founded in 1968 and joined the BDO Alliance in July 2001. The firm offers a full range of accounting services for individuals and businesses, including tax, audit, advisory, and specialized services tailored to specific client needs.
