ALBUQUERQUE – July 14, 2026 — REDW Advisors & CPAs is pleased to announce that, for the sixth consecutive year, the firm has been named a New Mexico Top Workplace by the Albuquerque Journal. The honor reflects the culture our Albuquerque team and colleagues across the firm continue to build together—and it carries particular meaning in the state where REDW’s story began more than 70 years ago.
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, drawn from more than 20 years of culture research. Unlike other employer recognition programs, Top Workplaces is based solely on employee engagement survey results compared against the Top Workplaces benchmark. There are no essays, forms, or other organization-provided content that allows for subjective analysis.
“New Mexico is where REDW started, and it remains central to who we are,” said Steve Cogan, CPA, REDW’s Managing Principal. “A sixth consecutive Top Workplace honor here tells us that the culture our founders began building here in 1953 has held steady through significant growth as we have expanded to serve clients across the nation. As an independent firm, we get to make decisions on our own terms—guided by what’s best for our people, our clients, and the communities we’ve served for more than seven decades.”
“This recognition comes directly from the confidential feedback of our own team members, which is what makes it worth celebrating,” said Katherine Bastow, SPHR, Vice President of People Operations. “Six consecutive years in New Mexico reflects a sustained commitment—not a single good year—and that’s a credit to everyone who shows up and makes this a place people want to stay.”
The 2026 New Mexico honor continues a strong year of recognition for REDW. The firm was recently named an Arizona Top Workplace for 2026, also for the 6th consecutive year.
Earlier in 2026, the firm was named a Top Workplace within the Financial Services industry and a USA Today Top Workplace for 2026 for the 4th consecutive year, honors based on employee feedback gathered through the same confidential Energage survey process. REDW has also been named to Accounting Today’s 2026 Top 100 Firms (ranked #97, up from #98 the prior year) and recognized among the publication’s Top Regional Leaders in the Southwest.
REDW attributes its success to a corporate culture that values an entrepreneurial spirit and diversity of thought, and fosters an environment of innovation. The firm actively seeks self-motivated, critical thinkers who bring authenticity, curiosity, and a positive attitude to their roles—an approach central to REDW’s business philosophy for over 70 years that continues to drive its recruitment strategy.
