Brown Plus: Leading the Way in U.S. Auditing for P&C Insurers

Brown Plus, a leading accounting and advisory firm, is making significant strides in the U.S. auditing landscape for property and casualty (P&C) insurers, as acknowledged by AM Best's Top Audit and Actuarial Firms – 2025 Edition. Recently ranked the 21st largest audit firm based on the loss reserves of its P&C insurance clients—an improvement from its previous 23rd position—the firm also maintains the 8th position for its total number of P&C clients, solidifying its status among the top 10 audit firms for two consecutive years.

Ken Wolfe, CPA, CGMA, and President of Brown Plus, recognizes the AM Best ranking as a testament to the firm’s dedication to industry-focused guidance and exemplary client service. This accolade, he notes, highlights the trusted relationships cultivated with insurance clients nationwide, especially in an environment driven by regulatory compliance requirements and evolving industry standards.

Audit and Actuarial Excellence

AM Best evaluates firms based on their capacity to audit P&C insurers' annual financial statements and offer statutory actuarial opinions on policy and claim reserves. To qualify, firms must demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of statutory-based financial accounting and maintain engagement with regulatory bodies like the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). Brown Plus successfully meets these stringent criteria.

Diverse Insurance Practice

Brown Plus's Insurance Practice employs experienced professionals offering attest, tax, and advisory services across various insurance sectors. In 2025, the firm served 35 P&C insurance clients, handling entities with premiums ranging from $1 million to over $300 million. Additionally, they extend services to captives, risk retention groups, and health and life insurance entities, boasting a portfolio exceeding 100 insurance clients. Their commitment to industry needs further solidifies their reputation for excellence in risk management and underwriting practices.
