REDW Advisors & CPAs is pleased to announce that its Pacific Northwest office, located at 475 Cottage Street NE, Suite 200 in Salem, for the second consecutive year has been named among Oregon’s Top Workplaces by The Oregonian. Only 115 total employers across Oregon and Southwest Washington received high enough marks from workers in surveys administered by The Oregonian’s annual Top Workplaces competition to earn a place on this year’s list.
Additionally, REDW has earned its second consecutive national Top Workplace award for Remote Work, highlighting the firm’s sustained commitment to providing flexible work arrangements that empower employees to thrive both personally and professionally.
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.
“Our Salem team has been instrumental in establishing REDW’s presence in the Pacific Northwest while maintaining the cultural foundation that has defined our firm for over 70 years,” said Managing Principal Steve Cogan. “This multi-year recognition by The Oregonian demonstrates that our participating offices in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oregon continue to earn Top Workplace honors in their respective markets. Combined with our recognition as a Top 100 firm by INSIDE Public Accounting and Accounting Today, and having three of our leaders named to Forbes’ Best-In-State CPAs list, 2025 has been an exceptional year that reflects the caliber of our people and the strength of our workplace culture.”
Katherine Bastow, SPHR, Vice President of People Operations, said, “Earning our second consecutive Remote Work recognition is an especially exciting milestone for us. It’s proof that our commitment to workplace flexibility isn’t just a passing trend—it’s a lasting, sustainable part of who we are! What makes this award even more meaningful is that it’s based entirely on confidential feedback from our very own team members. That’s how we know our remote work policies are making a real difference—not just on paper, but in the everyday experiences of our people. With flexible schedules and the freedom to work remotely, everyone can be there for both big work projects and those important moments in their personal lives with no trade-offs needed!”
There’s something incredibly inspiring about seeing our team thrive and grow in an environment where they can bring their best selves to work and home. This alignment between our values and our employees’ day-to-day reality reinforces why we remain so passionate about evolving REDW’s work environment across all of our offices. Here’s to making meaningful work and life moments possible—for all of us!”
With this recognition, REDW’s Pacific Northwest office joins the firm’s Albuquerque and Phoenix offices, which were honored with their fifth consecutive regional Top Workplace awards earlier this year.
In addition to the regional and remote work honors, in 2025 REDW has also earned recognition as a Top Workplace in the Financial Services Industry for the third consecutive year, as well as for workplace cultural excellence in Work-Life Flexibility for the second consecutive year.
