ALEXANDRIA, Va. – May 8, 2026 – Kearney & Company, a premier audit, consulting, and technology firm focused on government, has once again been honored as a Best Place to Work by the Washington Business Journal. The firm has earned this distinction for 11 consecutive years and consistently places in the top three for its business size category. In 2026, Kearney ranked second in the extra-large company category.
Each year, the Washington Business Journal recognizes leading employers with the most engaged workforces in the Washington area. The program honors local organizations “that have gone above and beyond to create an outstanding workplace culture,” according to the publication.
“Earning a place on the Washington Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list year after year is a reflection of what makes Kearney truly special — our people,” said Chief Executive Officer Brian Kearney. “Our culture is built on genuine care for one another and a commitment to delivering exceptional work for our clients. I’m grateful to every member of our team for the integrity and collaboration they demonstrate each day.”
To qualify for the Washington Business Journal’s Best Places to Work list, eligible companies based on size and location are invited to take part in employee surveys administered by Quantum Workplace. The survey evaluates employee engagement and factors including team dynamics, trust in leadership, communication effectiveness, and overall organizational culture. Employee feedback collected through these surveys exclusively determines the finalists and their rankings.
