Southfield, Mich., April 1, 2026 — Plante Moran has been named to Fortune magazine’s list of “100 Best Companies to Work For®” for the 28th consecutive year, ranking No. 15 for 2026. This recognition reflects the firm’s long-standing belief that a people-first culture is not only foundational to staff experience — but also a powerful driver of growth, innovation and enduring client relationships.
As one of the nation’s largest audit, tax, consulting and wealth management firms, Plante Moran has grown from a single accounting practice founded in Detroit in 1924 into a billion-dollar firm with nearly 4,000 professionals serving clients worldwide. Throughout that growth, the firm has remained independent and firmly grounded in values that prioritize trust, care and accountability — principles that guide how its people work and how its clients are served.
“At Plante Moran, culture isn’t a tagline — it’s our strategy,” said Plante Moran Managing Partner Jason Drake. “When people feel trusted and supported, they bring their best thinking to their work and their relationships. That mindset has shaped our firm for more than a century.”
The connection between culture and client experience is intentional. Plante Moran’s people-first approach encourages deep listening, collaboration and proactive problem-solving — qualities that directly influence how teams show up for clients. According to the firm’s most recent client satisfaction survey, 94% of clients say Plante Moran understands their organization’s needs, 95% say the firm delivers solutions backed by strong technical expertise and 95% would recommend the firm to others.
Innovation plays an important role in delivering that experience. Alongside continued investment in advanced technologies and the responsible use of AI to enhance both staff productivity and client service, Plante Moran empowers its people to speak up, share new perspectives and improve how work gets done.
“When our staff is trusted to think creatively and supported with the right tools, innovation follows,” Drake said. “That allows us to continually improve how we serve clients and deliver high-quality work — while staying true to the culture that makes Plante Moran a great place to work.”
The Fortune “100 Best Companies to Work For®” list is based primarily on confidential staff feedback, measuring trust, pride and camaraderie within the workplace. For Plante Moran, the recognition serves as validation that its people-first philosophy continues to resonate — even as the firm grows and adapts.
“Being recognized year after year tells us our people feel the difference,” Drake added. “It confirms that staying true to our values is not only the right thing to do for our staff — but the right way to serve our clients and build for the future.”
