REDW Advisors & CPAs is pleased to announce that, for the fifth consecutive year, the firm has been awarded Top Workplace honors in both Arizona and New Mexico by AZ Central and The Albuquerque Journal. Additionally, REDW has been recognized as a leader in the Financial Services industry for the third consecutive year, cementing its position among the top performers in the accounting and advisory sector.
The Top Workplaces award is based on a confidential, research-backed, employee engagement survey administered by Energage. Participating companies are evaluated against the industry’s most robust benchmarks, which are based on more than 17 years of culture research. Unlike other employer recognition programs, Top Workplaces is based solely on employee engagement survey results, which are compared against the Top Workplaces benchmark. There are no essays, forms, or other organization-provided content that allows for subjective analysis.
“We participate in Top Workplaces, as it effectively measures the people-first workplace experience we strive to foster at REDW—where being valued, respected, supported, aligned, and empowered serves to drive engagement,” said Steve Cogan, CPA, REDW’s Managing Principal. “These honors, which are a testament to our people at every level of the firm, come during what has been an exceptional year of recognition for us, including being named to Accounting Today’s Top 100 Firms for the first time and having three of our leaders recognized in Forbes 2025 Best in State Top CPAs list.”
“Our consistent recognition as a Top Workplace reflects our unwavering commitment to creating an environment where our team members can thrive both personally and professionally,” added Katherine Bastow, SPHR, Vice President of People Operations. “These awards validate that our people-first approach and investment in workplace culture excellence continues to resonate with our growing team of nearly 375 professionals across our Southwest and Pacific Northwest offices.”
