Congratulations to all who made the top one hundred this week! We applaud our Accounting Top 100 participants as we recognize the extra effort it takes for these professionals, on top of managing their businesses and careers, to also be active on social media.
If you are not familiar with our social media leaderboard, participants are scored according to their social media activity (you may read more about how it works at the end of this article).
Our Partner Program provides you with the tools you need to support your clients and our Accountant Program can help empower your firm’s growth and profitability. Be sure to click the links to learn more.
This week in recognition of #NationalOnlineLearningDay, we encouraged our leaderboard participants to share a favorite self-study resource or recommended course with this network. We have to say, we were enlightened by many of their replies!
We invite you to check out social reactions to the latest #AccountingTop100 bulletin release below.

How the leaderboard works: The Accounting Top 100 social media leaderboard uses an algorithm that scores and ranks users based on five separate metrics, each of which is weighted according to its perceived value. These five metrics are calculated every two weeks and combined to form a Power Score: a 1-100 value based on Rise.Global’s Relative Scoring Method. This Power Score determines a user’s rank on each new leaderboard release.
Want to see yourself rank even higher?
Remember, a new leaderboard with updated rankings is generated every two weeks, so keep up the great work on social media and watch your ranking climb!

Avalara’s Accounting Top 100 leaderboard (the “Leaderboard”) is assembled using a list of accounting professional users that’s curated by manual entry as well as by Rise.Global's internal Twitter search functionality. We reserve the right to change scoring metrics used for ranking and to exclude anyone from the list, in our sole discretion. The Leaderboard is not an endorsement, recommendation or sponsorship of any of the accounting professionals on the Leaderboard, and we do not make any representation or guarantee of their ability or reliability. Assessments by different methods or based on different information may yield different results. The Leaderboard is only a starting point to gather information about accounting professionals, and you should not rely on it to decide whether to hire an accounting professional.

I was actually on the list before? Figured I was one of the newcomers. Glad to make it though!
The leaderboard was "soft launched" over a month ago, so you were likely included in the initial user list while everything got up and running. Newcomers are those in the Top 100 who signed up in-between leaderboard releases. Glad you made it as well!
I think this is a real great blog article. Thanks Again. Much obliged.
Thank you Avalara and AccountingWeb for the very kind words! Scaling New Heights was a blast. So happy to see a new face in that number 1 slot! Go Tom Hood!
They did the algorithm, we publish the results. In the end, it's all math!(figured you'd like that). Keep being you!
Well, I have gone from 343 to 240 as of April 29th on the #accountingtop100 list. Maybe one day I will see @drquickbooks of "always sunny" and shut down Seattle next to 99 other accountants (many of whom I know and follow) after I share a few more gifs which are supposed to help increase your rank.
