Whitley Penn Earns Spot on UTA’s 2026 MAVS100 List

Fort Worth, TX (April 21, 2026)

Whitley Penn, one of the Southwest’s leading accounting and advisory firms, has been named to the University of Texas at Arlington’s (UTA) 2026 MAVS100 list for the second consecutive year and third time overall.

MAVS100 is an annual recognition honoring 100 of the fastest-growing businesses that are owned or led by UTA alumni. Nominated companies submit high-level financial information to be evaluated and ranked by an independent accounting firm based on sales or revenue growth over a three-year period. Honorees are recognized each spring at an invitation-only awards dinner.

“As a University of Texas at Arlington alumnus, it’s especially meaningful to see Whitley Penn named to the MAVS100 list for the third time,” said John Vallance, Partner-in-Charge of Whitley Penn’s Fort Worth office. “UTA has played an important role in the education of many Whitley Penn team members, and we are proud to have a strong relationship with the university and its students.”
