Steward Partners has been named one of Financial Planning’s 2025 “Best RIAs to Work For,” ranking 52nd out of 60 firms and reinforcing the firm’s strategy of using an employee-ownership model to attract and retain advisory talent. The recognition, based on a nationwide survey and an in-depth review of workplace policies, culture, compensation and development programs, highlights Steward Partners’ emphasis on shared equity, engagement, and accountability across its growing platform. CEO Jim Gold said the firm’s ownership structure is central to its culture and client service, positioning every team member as a stakeholder in the firm’s success. For executives and investors, the award adds to Steward’s employer-of-choice credentials at a time when RIA platforms are competing aggressively for experienced advisors in a consolidating wealth management market.
The latest honor caps a string of third-party validations underscoring Steward Partners’ rapid expansion and market positioning. Since its 2013 launch, the firm has emerged as one of the fastest-growing RIAs, most recently moving to #9 on Barron’s 2025 Top 100 RIA Firms list, up from #18 in 2024, and being named to AdvisorHub’s RIA Firms to Watch and the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies for the fifth time. Steward Partners was also ranked 28th in Financial Advisor Magazine’s 2025 RIA and AUM rankings and recognized as a 2025 employer of choice by InvestmentNews, the Washington Business Journal, and USA Today. Multiple members of leadership and advisory teams have appeared on InvestmentNews’ Hot List, ThinkAdvisor’s Luminaries, Forbes | SHOOK Best-In-State and Next-Gen advisor lists, and InvestmentNews’ Top Financial Advisors in the USA. With nearly $46 billion in client assets as of October 2025 and a national, employee-owned model, these recognitions collectively support Steward Partners’ positioning as a scaled, high-growth RIA platform competing for both advisors and high-net-worth clients in a crowded field.
