ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Aug. 26, 2025 – Kearney & Company, a premier audit, consulting, and technology firm focused on the government, has been honored as one of the Best Places to Work in South Carolina by SC Biz News in partnership with BridgeTower Media and Best Companies Group. In the first year in which the firm has earned this recognition, Kearney ranked 4th in the large-employer category.
“Across all of our locations, Kearney team members consistently demonstrate an unwavering commitment to cultivating a vibrant workplace culture and delivering high-quality services to our clients,” said Chief Executive Officer Brian Kearney. “This recognition reflects the exemplary manner in which our South Carolina-based team upholds these values with steadfast support to government clients and meaningful contributions to the local community.”
To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of South Carolina; have at least 15 full- or part-time team members working in South Carolina; and be in business for a minimum of one year.
There were two components used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of a team member survey to measure their experiences, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
“The 2025 Best Places to Work in South Carolina know that the people in their organizations are the key to their success. These businesses realize what it takes to create an environment that results in teamwork and excellence,” said Jason Thomas, Executive Editor of SC Biz News. “SC Biz News is pleased to join with the Best Companies Group in honoring these incredible businesses.”
