Monument Wealth Ranks Among Highest-Scoring Businesses on Inc. Magazine’s 2023 List of Best Workplaces
Monument Wealth Management is thrilled and honored to be listed among America’s best workplaces in Inc. Magazine’s annual Best Workplaces list for 2023!
Featured in the May/June 2023 issue, the list is a comprehensive measurement of American companies that have excelled in creating exceptional workplaces and company culture, whether operating in a physical or a virtual environment. The issue hit newsstands on May 16, 2023, and is prominently featured on Inc.com.
“Being named to Best Workplaces is an honor that only a small fraction of companies have been able to claim,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “Proving to the world that you’re a magnet for talent and have a culture that keeps teams engaged, productive, and proud to come to work is a truly remarkable achievement.”
Why This Award Means So Much to Us
When we opened our doors for business in 2008, we envisioned a firm and a culture that would challenge the industry status quo by being the opposite of everything we wanted to escape —a firm that more closely resembled a creative agency where the output is thoughtfully-crafted and financial advice is easy to understand, actionable and measurable. A firm where the most creative, smart, entrepreneurial, respected, and genuine people gathered each day to give financial advice to clients who truly valued it. An enduring innovative firm that would offer clients and their future generations real, focused wealth advice through a unique process completely uncontained by any large corporate agenda.
Monument’s culture is built on a fun, affable, collaborative environment that values the unique contributions of each Team member. Guided by eight core principles, our employees are encouraged and empowered to act like owners of the firm, produce creative and innovative solutions, and develop strong, long-lasting relationships with our clients, providing them with the best service and advice possible. We believe this sets the condition for our Team Members to learn, flourish and gain confidence every day. Our commitment to our culture materializes through this 2023 award by Inc. Magazine as well as numerous other recognitions over the years, including the Washington Business Journal’s list of “Best Places to Work,” the Northern Virginia Family Service’s Companies Responsive Employers (CARE) Award, and Entrepreneur’s “Entrepreneur360” recognition.
Our clients appreciate our culture because they know that the Team’s passion, intellectual curiosity, and dedication will provide them with the value and experience they are looking for in a wealth management team.
