Press Release

This first-time recognition builds on firm's recent inclusion on Fortune's Best Small Workplaces™ list.

Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work® have recognized Freed Associates (Freed) as one of the 2026 Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™, marking the first time the firm has earned a place on the industry-specific list.

The recognition follows Freed’s recent inclusion on Fortune’s 2026 Best Small Workplaces™ list and further reflects the firm’s commitment to creating an exceptional employee experience. Both honors are based on confidential employee feedback and workplace culture assessments conducted by Great Place to Work.

“For more than 35 years, our people have been the foundation of Freed’s success,” said Allie Freed, CEO of Freed Associates. “We’ve built a culture that values collaboration, continuous learning, and meaningful work because we believe engaged employees create better outcomes for clients, communities, and each other.”

The Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services list recognizes organizations that excel at creating a high-trust workplace culture where employees feel respected, supported, and empowered to do their best work. The recognition reflects employee experiences across key measures including trust in leadership, fairness, camaraderie, pride, and opportunities for professional growth.
