PHOENIX – June 29, 2026 — REDW Advisors & CPAs is pleased to announce that, for the sixth consecutive year, the firm has been named an Arizona Top Workplace by AZ Central, reflecting the strong workplace culture that Phoenix team members and those across the firm continue to build together.
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.
“Earning Arizona Top Workplace honors for a sixth straight year speaks to something we’ve worked to cultivate: a people-first culture that holds steady as we grow,” said Steve Cogan, CPA, REDW’s Managing Principal. “Our independence means we make decisions guided by what’s best for our people, our clients, and our communities—and recognition like this, drawn entirely from the voices of our own team, tells us we’re staying true to that commitment.”
“What makes this award meaningful is where it comes from—the honest, confidential feedback of our own team members,” said Katherine Bastow, SPHR, Vice President of People Operations. “A sixth consecutive year in Arizona tells us that our investment in workplace culture continues to resonate with the people who experience and amplify it every day. That motivates us to keep raising the bar.”
The 2026 Arizona honor adds to a strong year of national and industry recognition for REDW. Earlier this year, 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.
