I'm thrilled to share I've been recognized as a 2026 Top U.S. ProAdvisor by Insightful Accountant, one of the most respected honors in the QuickBooks bookkeeping and accounting community.
What Is the Top U.S. ProAdvisor Award?
The Top U.S. ProAdvisor Award is administered by Insightful Accountant, the leading independent publication and resource for QuickBooks professionals. Each year, Insightful Accountant recognizes the top 100 QuickBooks ProAdvisors across the country through a rigorous, objective application and selection process.
This isn't a simple nomination or a popularity contest. Applicants are evaluated across a comprehensive set of criteria including QuickBooks certifications, depth of client work, use of tools and partner apps within the QuickBooks ecosystem, training and professional development, and real-world practice performance. Credentials are independently verified with third-party developers before finalists are confirmed. The award is designed to recognize individual practitioners who demonstrate genuine expertise and commitment to their craft — not just firms, but the real people doing the work.
“This is the thirteenth year of our ProAdvisor awards,” said Insightful Accountant Publisher and Managing Partner, Gary DeHart. “The ProAdvisors who make this list are the best in the business. Any small business would be well-served working with any one of the winners on this list. Their inclusion is a testament to the level of knowledge they possess and ongoing training they participate in.”
The 2026 awards program included four recognition groups: the Top 100 U.S. ProAdvisors, the Top 25 Up-and-Coming ProAdvisors, the Top 50 International ProAdvisors, and the Top 25 Tax Advisors.
What This Means for My Clients
For the small business owners I work with, this recognition reflects what I strive to bring to every client relationship: deep QuickBooks expertise, a commitment to staying current on tools and best practices, and a genuine focus on helping your business stay organized and financially healthy.
At Sota Bookkeeping, I work with a select group of small business clients — handling the bookkeeping so you can focus on running your business. This award is a meaningful external validation that the work I do meets a high professional standard.
Thank You
I'm grateful to be included among the country's Top 100 ProAdvisors for 2026. It's an honor I don't take lightly, and it motivates me to keep raising the bar for the clients I serve.
If you're a small business owner in the Minneapolis area looking for a bookkeeper who takes their craft seriously, I'd love to connect.
