We’re proud to announce that three of our Partners — Adam Barr, Brian Miller, and David Long — have once again been named to the Forbes 2026 America’s Best-in-State CPAs list. This national recognition honors standout professionals in public accounting who demonstrate excellence, leadership, and meaningful impact in both their work and their communities.
A Recognition Built on Excellence and Trust
Adam, Brian, and David were selected through Forbes’ rigorous, multi-step evaluation process, conducted in collaboration with an independent CPA advisory board. Candidates are nominated through industry channels and assessed across a range of weighted criteria, including expertise, innovation, thought leadership, experience, and service to the profession and community. As always, no fees or payments are required for consideration, reinforcing the integrity of the recognition.
This distinction places our Partners among the most respected CPAs in the state and across the country at a time when the role of the CPA is evolving rapidly. As Forbes highlighted this year, today’s accountants go far beyond traditional services. From delivering evidence-based business insights and navigating increasingly complex tax implications to supporting areas like valuation, forensic accounting, and strategic planning, CPAs are playing a more critical role than ever in helping businesses operate with clarity and confidence.
In an environment where accountability and reliable financial insight are essential, the value of trusted advisors continues to grow. The professionals recognized on this list are not only technical experts, but leaders who help organizations make informed decisions, manage risk, and move forward with confidence.
Recognizing the People Behind the Work
Adam, Brian, and David each represent what defines MGA: a dedication to making the complex simple, a commitment to strong client relationships, and a genuine passion for helping businesses succeed.
At MGA, we believe the true value of our work comes from the people behind it. This recognition reinforces what our clients experience every day — a team of professionals who bring not only deep expertise, but also clarity, care, and reliability to every engagement.
