Global Tax Network (GTN), a technology-enabled mobility tax services firm, has been named a 2026 Best of the Best Firm by INSIDE Public Accounting (IPA). This marks GTN's seventh Best of the Best recognition since 2019, a distinction that highlights the firm's consistent ability to meet rigorous standards across operational performance, leadership, management practices, employee development, and long-term strategic growth.
The award matters because it signals durability in a professional services landscape where firms must continually adapt to changing client needs and workforce expectations. IPA has recognized top-performing firms for nearly thirty years, and its annual Best of the Best list is widely viewed as one of the profession's most respected benchmarks of organizational success. Earning a place on that list for a seventh time suggests that GTN has built systems and a culture capable of sustaining high performance over multiple years, rather than achieving a single standout period.
IPA selects its Best of the Best Firms through an evaluation of more than 35 financial and operational performance metrics drawn from its annual Practice Management Survey. The assessment considers areas including governance, long-range planning, professional development, and process improvement. In 2026, GTN is among 75 firms recognized from more than 600 participating firms across the United States and Canada. That ratio illustrates how competitive the recognition is and why inclusion carries weight with clients, prospective employees, and industry peers.
For GTN, the recognition reflects an approach that balances people and performance. "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 prestige. In the mobility tax services market, where firms help corporate mobility program managers and mobile employees navigate cross-border tax complexities, operational discipline and employee retention are directly tied to client outcomes. A firm that invests in professional development and process improvement is better positioned to handle the demands of expatriates, foreign nationals, business travelers, remote workers, and permanent transfers. GTN's services also include individual tax return preparation, multi-state and international tax filings, and personalized tax guidance for high-net-worth individuals and those with complex tax situations.
Since its founding nearly three decades ago, GTN has grown alongside the changing world of work while remaining grounded in values that include putting people first, delivering exceptional client experiences, and continuously innovating to solve complex global mobility challenges. Headquartered in Minneapolis, MN, with a team located throughout North America, the firm has also earned recognitions such as Accounting Today's Best Firms to Work For.

For the broader accounting profession, GTN's repeated recognition may reinforce the idea that sustained investment in people and process is a viable path to long-term success. As firms face pressure to modernize and differentiate, IPA's data-driven assessment provides a measurable standard. GTN's seventh appearance on the Best of the Best list indicates that the firm has not only met that standard but has done so consistently, a signal that could influence how clients and talent evaluate the firm in a crowded marketplace.
