Brown Plus Named the #2 Best Company to Work For in Maryland in 2026 by The Daily Record

FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading accounting and advisory firm, Brown Plus, is proud to announce that it was named the #2 Best Company to Work For in Maryland in 2026 by The Daily Record. The Firm's #2 ranking was announced at an awards ceremony on September 9 at Gertrude's Restaurant Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore, Maryland.

The Best Companies to Work for in Maryland award identifies and honors the best places of employment in the state. It is a research-driven program from Best Companies Group that examines a company's practices, programs and benefits and surveys employees for their perspectives. To be considered, companies needed to be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or nonprofit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Maryland; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Maryland; and be in business a minimum of one year.

"Being named the #2 Best Company to Work For in Maryland is an incredible honor and a testament to the culture our team has helped create," said Ken Wolfe, CPA, CGMA, President and Managing Principal. "At Brown Plus, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We continuously invest in programs, benefits and opportunities that help our team members thrive both personally and professionally. While there is always more work to be done, this recognition reinforces that we are making a meaningful impact and creating a workplace where people want to build their careers."

This is the third year that Brown Plus has been named to the Best Companies to Work for in Maryland list and the fourth year of the program. The rankings were determined through a two-part evaluation process. The first part involved evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure employee experience, which consisted of 75 percent of the total. The combined scores determined the final rankings of the top companies.
