RubinBrown is proud to have been named the “fastest growing firm in the Midwest” by Accounting Today . The publication stated that the Midwest lagged the rest of the regions, and even managed to grow less in 2011 than it did in 2010. It further stated, “Growth rates at most firms were fairly meager -- St. Louis’ RubinBrown broke the trend, but some of that is no doubt due to its aggressive expansion in Colorado.”
