That, it should be noted, was without the help of Chi-cago-based Crowe Horwath, which has graduated from
the ranks of the Regional Leaders to become a national
firm. Mergers and acquisitions helped fill some of the gap,
with serial acquirers like Sikich and Rehmann both posting revenue growth of over 16 percent.

Top Firms: Gulf Coast
Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi
The Gulf Coast Regional Leaders roared ahead in
2011, growing revenue 19.22 percent, to $575.2 mil-
lion. They were led by the creation of Warren Aver-
ett from three firms — Warren, Averett, Kimbrough
& Marino, O’Sullivan Creel, and Wilson Price
— registering growth of almost 128 percent. The
No. 1 firm, Alabama’s Carr, Riggs & Ingram, was no
slouch either, expanding its already considerable
reach across the Gulf Coast and the Southeast.
