Audit Firm: Vault Top 50 US Accounting Firms

Vault.com, an online careers site, has unveiled its annual ranking of the best accounting firms to work for in the U.S. Vault uses the following survey methodology to rank the audit firms.

Methodology: “When Vault asks accounting professionals what matters most to them in choosing an employer, they continually tell us that although prestige is important, it's not the only determining factor. In addition to prestige, accounting professionals find the following factors extremely important: firm culture, type of work, location, work/life balance, compensation, business outlook, and training opportunities.

As a result of these findings, Vault has compiled a weighted formula that reflects the issues job seekers care about most. We believe that this formula showcases those accounting firms deemed the Best to Work For. The Vault Accounting 50 is based on the following:

• 40 percent prestige
• 20 percent firm culture
• 10 percent work/life balance
• 10 percent compensation
• 10 percent overall job satisfaction
• 5 percent business outlook
