DWC CPAs and Advisors is proud to announce that CEO Chris West, CPA, PFS, has been named to Forbes’ 2025 list of Best-in-State CPAs, a prestigious honor recognizing top accounting professionals who demonstrate exceptional expertise, client impact, and leadership within their states.

Forbes launched this inaugural ranking to spotlight Certified Public Accountants going above and beyond, making meaningful contributions to their clients and communities. Chris was selected as a top CPA in Colorado for his outstanding professional achievements and continued commitment to excellence in financial services.

The Forbes Best-in-State CPAs list was developed exclusively by the Forbes editorial team and highlights the most accomplished CPAs currently active in public practice. Candidates were identified through independent nominations and recognitions from various CPA associations. Nominees were then evaluated based on a range of weighted criteria, including professional expertise, innovation, industry thought leadership, years of experience, and their contributions to both the community and the accounting profession.

With nearly 30 years of experience in public accounting and advisory services, Chris has been instrumental in positioning DWC as a trusted partner for businesses, owners, and high-net-worth clients navigating complex financial and business issues and wealth management.
