Brown Plus Receives Inaugural 2025 America’s Best Workplaces Award

Leading regional accounting and advisory firm, Brown Plus, is thrilled to have been named a recipient of the inaugural 2025 America’s Best Workplaces Award in the medium company category by Best Companies Group and BridgeTower Media.
 
America’s Best Workplaces Awards identify and honor the best places of employment across the United States. Winners of the America’s Best Workplaces Award were previously recognized by Best Companies Group in at least one other data-driven employer recognition program. The award is a celebration of excellence in company culture that honors numerous employers and ranks the top 10 workplaces in small, medium and large business categories. The final rankings of the top 10 best workplaces will be announced at a virtual celebration on December 18, 2024.
 
“It is a great honor for Brown Plus to be recognized not just among the top accounting firms to work for, but among the top overall workplaces to work for in the country,” said Ken Wolfe, President and Managing Principal at Brown Plus. “We are dedicated to providing extraordinary service to our clients and communities, and that starts with providing an extraordinary experience to our professionals who serve them. I’m incredibly proud of our team members who have shaped our many policies and initiatives that have helped to establish Brown Plus as a nationally recognized place to work.”
 
Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and analyzed the data to determine the final rankings. The rankings were determined based upon Best Companies Group’s algorithm, which factored in data from each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, as well as data from an employee survey that measured employee experience. The overall scores determined which workplaces were recognized and which were ranked in the top of their category.
 
“These workplaces are America’s best – not because we say so, but because their people do,” said Jaime Raul Zepeda, Executive Vice President of Best Companies Group and COLOR Magazine. “At Best Companies Group, we’re excited to certify this honor and celebrate these standout employers with millions of business leaders who trust BridgeTower Media for the pulse on exceptional companies across the country.”
 
Brown Plus’ mission is to help people achieve extraordinary outcomes, including its team members. To that end, Brown Plus is proud to provide numerous policies, programs and other perks to help its team members maintain a strong life balance, including:
 
 

  • Remote work arrangements
  • Flex time
