Wipfli review

A large advisory firm that will build, with fractional AI staff.

Verdict

Wipfli is the one large firm on this page, a middle market accounting and advisory firm with more than 2,900 associates and, by its own count, more than 54,000 clients across the US. Its AI practice covers strategy, governance, Copilot and LLM implementation, change management, and fractional AI support with sprint based build and deploy.

What customers praise

It names a client: Project C.U.R.E., whose chief of staff, Julie Topka, is quoted saying "our systems work for us, instead of us working for our systems". Fractional strategists, engineers and analysts make it one of the few here that can staff a longer programme.

What customers criticise

No price or fixed first step is printed; the first step is a contact form. Its AI page says it is built for the mid market, so a 15 person company is below its usual client. The Project C.U.R.E. figures are shown without clear context.

Best for

A company already using a regional accounting and advisory firm that wants AI strategy, Microsoft Copilot rollout and governance from the same relationship.

Red flags

Public risk signals as of November 2026: low. Live firm. AI services, client count and associate count read on its own pages on 8 November 2026. See the full red-flag report.
