However, not many dealers that small have been chosen in the last 10 years. Only two accounting firms were selected, fast-growing Armanino and Sikich. Acquisitions have contributed to the growth of Sikich. Over the last two years, Sikich purchased Altico Advisors, BCG Systems and SCS. One Inner Circle member, Tribridge, was recently purchased by another award winner, DXC. Among the others with North American operations are Blue Horseshoe Solutions, Columbus Global, Edgewater Fullscope, mcaConnect, SBS Group, Socius, Sopris Systems, Sunrise Technologies and ThinkMax.
