Washingtonian: DC's Best Financial Advisers — 2022, 2021
The Washingtonian surveys hundreds of area financial professionals during the preceding 4-6 months prior to publishing the award. The 2022 award was published in March 2022. The 2021 award was published in January 2021.
Fee-only advisers include certified financial planners who do not accept commissions or referral fees. To arrive at the names of the area’s 201 top financial advisers—the fee-only financial planners, fee-based advisers, estate attorneys, tax accountants, and insurance advisers marked with a “best adviser” tag—the Washingtonian distributed surveys to hundreds of people who work in the local financial industry, asking them whom they would trust with their own money. Washingtonian also did their own research, consulting industry experts and publications. The “best adviser” names on this list are the people who received the strongest recommendations.
Washingtonian: 50 Great Places to Work — 2019, 2017
To put together our list, we first released an application that any organization could fill out, asking about such measures as healthcare and vacation benefits, staff turnover, and charitable outreach. Then we surveyed a sampling of each applicant's staff. The 7,500 employee surveys we received were largely what determined our 50 winners. After all, a company may offer amazing benefits on paper, but it's not a great place to work if staffers aren't happy there. Once all the survey data was in, it was analyzed by Leora Lawton of TechSociety Research in California, who also designed the survey. We compared like with like: small workplaces with other small workplaces, information-technology firms with other IT firms, and so on.
In all, nearly 200 companies participated, and the competition was tough—employers don't go through the process if they don't believe they're a great place to work. Still, if a company isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not a great workplace—it could simply mean it chose not to apply.
