While many factors are considered, leadership, principals, and client experience are crucial. SHOOK Research refers to this list as “rankings of role models—firms leading the way in offering best practices and providing a high-quality experience for clients.” GVA’s values and goals are completely aligned with the criteria. We thank Forbes and SHOOK for recognizing our firm as striving to be the best while not losing sight of the most important things—honesty, integrity, and accountability.
