Sikich CEO Chris Geier Named an Accounting Today 2024 Managing Partner Elite

CHICAGO – August 30, 2024 – Sikich, a Chicago-based leading global technology-enabled professional services company, announced that Chief Executive Officer Chris Geier has been selected as one of Accounting Today’s 2024 Managing Partner Elite (MP Elite).

The 2024 MP Elite were selected for their exceptional ability to navigate today’s rapidly changing business landscape while wearing multiple hats not only as skilled leaders, but as technologists, deal brokers and brand ambassadors for their companies.

Geier was included on this prestigious list for his visionary company leadership and transformative initiatives, including this year’s $250 million minority investment from Bain Capital to accelerate the company’s continued growth and acquisition strategies.

According to Accounting Today, “Much of the change Geier has implemented or plans to implement would be unthinkable to the average accountant, which makes sense, since he isn’t one. With a background in law enforcement, private equity, management consulting and more, it’s no surprise that he doesn’t think like an accountant — but given his success at Sikich, it won’t be long before more and more accountants are thinking like him.”

This year’s eight-person list showcased leaders who’ve mastered the delicate balance of driving sustainable company growth and implementing strategic plans all while cultivating strong cultures and embracing technological innovation.

Earlier this week, Sikich was named a “Best of the Best” by INSIDE Public Accounting and in July Geier was awarded the Gold Globee® Award for Executive Achievement of the Year (Financial) and the Gold Globee® Award for Maverick of the Year (Business Services) as part of the 16th annual Golden Bridge Awards®.
