I’d look beyond the certification badge itself and ask how much of that expertise actually reaches the project team. MicroAccounting’s Diamond status is a strong credential, while OneSix’s partner breadth could be valuable when several data tools need to work together. Do buyers typically ask to see the certifications of the specific consultants assigned to their engagement?
