DFK International is proud to announce that BRC, based in the United States, has been named Firm of the Year 2026. The award was presented at the Annual Global Conference in Vancouver in July, where the firm was represented by five members of its team.
The Firm of the Year award is presented annually to a member firm that embodies what DFK stands for. This year, the recognition goes to a firm that has been part of the association for over 15 years, and whose involvement has only deepened over that time.
The award recognises BRC’s outstanding dedication to DFK: their commitment to building connections with fellow members around the world, their active engagement across the association and the generosity with which they share their expertise with the wider DFK community. It is this spirit of collaboration – members supporting members, across borders and time zones – that sits at the heart of DFK, and BRC exemplifies it.
Ben Ripple, CPA, Managing Partner of BRC, was among those at the conference to accept the award. He said: “The spirit of DFK is people helping people improve and move the profession forward. Through our alliance, I’ve had the privilege of meeting with so many remarkable individuals who have helped us continue to grow and improve. To be recognized as Firm of the Year within an alliance built on collaboration and compassion is truly a tremendous honor.”
Everyone at DFK International congratulates the BRC team on this well-deserved recognition.
