REDW Advisors & CPAs is pleased to announce its continued recognition among the nation’s Top 100 Firms by Accounting Today, ranking #97 on the 2026 list — up from #98 the previous year. REDW was also recognized among Accounting Today’s Top Regional Firms in the Southwest, reflecting the firm’s sustained growth and deepening presence across the region.
These accolades come during a period of meaningful momentum for REDW. In early 2026, the firm appointed Maxwell S. Kagan as its first-ever Chief Financial Officer, a milestone that strengthens REDW’s financial leadership infrastructure as the firm continues to expand. The firm also recently welcomed Soaring Bird Solutions, LLC, through a strategic acquisition, deepening its advisory capabilities in support of Tribal Nations and Tribal enterprises nationwide.
“This recognition reflects the work of an extraordinary team and the trust of the clients and communities we serve,” said Steve Cogan, CPA, REDW Managing Principal. “At REDW, we’ve made a deliberate choice to remain an independent firm, and that independence is central to how we serve. It enables us to control our own destiny, invest in our people and capabilities on our own terms, and make decisions guided solely by what is best for our firm, clients, and team members. The milestones we’ve reached this year, from welcoming Karla Bylund and the Soaring Bird team to strengthening our leadership with Max Kagan as our first CFO, reflect exactly the kind of thoughtful, values-driven growth we’re committed to.”
