Global Tax Network (GTN) has been named a 2026 Best of the Best Firm by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA), marking the seventh time the mobility tax services firm has received the honor since 2019. The recognition highlights GTN's sustained performance in an industry where operational excellence and talent retention are increasingly critical to serving globally mobile clients.
The award, announced by IPA, is based on an evaluation of more than 35 financial and operational performance metrics from the organization's annual Practice Management Survey. IPA has recognized top-performing accounting firms for nearly thirty years, assessing areas such as governance, long-range planning, professional development, and process improvement. For 2026, GTN is among 75 firms selected from over 600 participating firms across the United States and Canada, placing it in a select group that IPA considers a benchmark of organizational success.
For GTN, the seventh recognition signals more than a single year of strong results. It reflects a deliberate strategy that balances investment in employees with a focus on client experience and innovation in cross-border tax services. "Building a strong firm takes ongoing attention to how we support our people and how we serve our clients," said Eric Loff, President of GTN. "For us, that means giving colleagues opportunities to grow, listening to client feedback, and continually improving how we work. Receiving this recognition for the seventh time is a meaningful acknowledgment of the care and effort our team brings to that work every day."
The implications extend beyond internal morale. In a competitive market for mobility tax talent, repeated external validation can help firms attract and retain professionals who prioritize working for a well-managed organization. It also reassures corporate clients that their global mobility programs are supported by a firm with stable leadership, sound governance, and a track record of adapting to change. As remote work and cross-border assignments become more common, the ability to demonstrate operational discipline and consistent client outcomes becomes a differentiator.
GTN's growth over nearly three decades mirrors the evolution of global work itself. The firm provides services for expatriates, foreign nationals, business travelers, remote workers, and permanent transfers, along with individual tax return preparation, multi-state and international filings, and personalized guidance for high-net-worth individuals. That breadth requires robust processes and continuous improvement, the very areas IPA evaluates.

For clients and prospects, the recognition may serve as a signal of reliability in a complex regulatory environment. Companies managing mobile employees face shifting tax rules across jurisdictions, and they often seek providers with demonstrated stability. GTN's repeated appearance on IPA's list suggests it has met that bar. Additional information about the firm can be found at gtn.com.
As the accounting profession continues to consolidate and specialize, awards like Best of the Best offer a rare public measure of how firms perform on management and culture, not just revenue. GTN's seventh honor places it among a small cohort that has consistently satisfied those broader criteria, reinforcing its position in the global mobility tax market.
