The Bonadio Group, an accounting firm with offices across the state from Buffalo to Albany, was named one of the top 100 accounting firms to work for in the nation by Accounting Today and Best Companies Group.

The annual rankings place firms in three categories. There were 45 firms listed as top small-sized firms (15 to 49 employees); 45 midsized firms (50 to 249 employees); and 10 large firms, with 250 or more employees. The Bonadio Group was included in the latter.

"At The Bonadio Group, we strive to keep our benefits competitive, have an open-door policy that exists on all levels and continually work to create new and innovative ways to provide the best possible work/life balance in order to keep our employees happy and our business successful," said Philip Mann, managing partner of the Buffalo office.

Earlier this year, the firm ranked 71st on Accounting Today's top 100 list, which ranks top revenue-producing CPA practices.

"The Bonadio Group has worked very hard to become an employer of choice, both to recruit the very best people we can and to retain the very best, as well," said Thomas Bonadio, managing partner.

"In addition to our climb up the top 100 list, this national award is a reflection of both our policies and programs, and our employees, whose contributions to our business have made us the type of accounting and business advisory firm that people want to work for."

The Bonadio Group will be honored at an awards luncheon Nov. 17 during Accounting Today's Growth & Profitability Summit in Las Vegas.
