Daryl Petrick Recognized by Forbes and Appointed to Global Leadership Role with Alliott Global Alliance

Bowman is pleased to announce two significant professional milestones for Partner Daryl Petrick.

Daryl has been named to Forbes’ 2026 Best-In-State CPAs list for the second consecutive year and has also been appointed Worldwide Deputy Chair of Alliott Global Alliance (AGA), a leading international alliance of independent accounting and law firms.

The Forbes Best-In-State CPAs list recognizes accounting professionals across the country who demonstrate exceptional leadership, professional achievement, technical expertise, and impact within the profession. Selection is based on a combination of peer recommendations, career accomplishments, industry experience, and contributions to clients and the accounting community.

Daryl’s recognition reflects his longstanding commitment to client service, strategic leadership, and the accounting profession throughout his career.
In addition to the Forbes recognition, Daryl was recently nominated and elected to serve as Worldwide Deputy Chair of Alliott Global Alliance following his service as North America Chair and Accounting Chair for the organization.

AGA includes more than 8,000 professionals across accounting and legal disciplines worldwide and provides member firms with access to trusted international resources and expertise. In his new role, Daryl will help support the alliance’s strategic direction and global initiatives during a period of significant transformation within the accounting and legal professions.

Commenting on the appointment, Daryl shared:

“It’s a real honor to be voted into leadership of this organization during these challenging times. Both the legal and accounting professions are under pressure around the world, and it is helpful to know that we are so much bigger than our own offices and firms.”

He continued:

“The AGA difference is that we can all have good friends who are experts in law and accounting in every corner of the world. It is an incredible advantage that we bring to our clients.”

Following his term as Worldwide Deputy Chair, Daryl is expected to transition into the role of Worldwide Chair in 2028.

These recognitions reflect both Daryl’s leadership within the accounting profession and Bowman’s continued commitment to providing clients with trusted expertise, strong relationships, and global connectivity through independent firm collaboration.
