BEST ACCOUNTING FIRM
EKS&H NOW PART OF PLANTE MORAN
Plante Moran co-founder Frank Moran set out to create an accounting firm where the best practitioners couldn’t wait to get in the door, and clients were lined up to receive top-quality services. Nearly a century later, Moran’s vision is instilled in the country’s 11th largest accounting and business advisory firm. The company jumped up in the rankings in October when it combined with EKS&H, which was recognized as the largest CPA firm in Denver and the Rocky Mountain region with practices in energy, high tech, transportation and other areas that complement Plante Moran’s offerings.

BEST LAW FIRM
BROWNSTEIN HYATT FARBER SCHRECK
On the heels of celebrating its 50th anniversary, Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck continues to work with high-profile clients and attract top talent from across the nation. They attribute this to the same values that the firm’s founders practiced daily when it opened its doors in 1968 – All In, Excellence, Respect and Giving Back. “When we make decisions that are in sync with our values, we can compete with any firm in the country when it comes to the quality and value of our work, our ability to acquire and keep clients and our recruiting and retention of talent,” said Adam Agron, managing partner of the firm.

BEST PUBLIC RELATIONS AGENCY
B Public Relations is a boutique agency in Denver. “We’re hyper-specialized, working only with clients in the hospitality, tourism and culinary fields,” says Jordan Blakesley, principal partner. “We not only employ PR, social media and influencer relations experts, but also industry experts. We have four certified sommeliers, a cicerone and an aspiring spirits expert on-staff.”
The agency is growing rapidly, expanding the team and client roster. The agency recently welcomed new clients including Snowmass Tourism and Postino Winecafй, and continues to expand its influencer relations and partnerships practice. “Culture is key at B Public Relations, which allows us to maintain a very high client and team member retention rate,” Blakesley says.

BEST STAFFING/RECRUITING/EXECUTIVE SEARCH
A local boutique firm with expertise partnering with entrepreneurial companies, Z3 Talent works closely with company founders or founding team members who are aggressively growing their business. “Given we’re a low-volume firm, we are able to deliver exceptional outcomes,” says Steve Ziegler, founder and chief talent partner. “We regularly receive feedback from clients and candidates that their experience with us is different than any other recruiting firm they have experienced.”
The trend now, Zieglar says, is for clients to request executives who can implement processes and systems that allow them to scale. “Many of our clients are implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) Model and are in search of ‘Integrators’ to support the founder, who is generally a ‘Visionary.’”
