For the sixth consecutive year, Richard P. Slaughter Associates has been recognized as a Best Places to Work for financial advisers – ranked No. 9 ranking in the 15-29-employees category.

AUSTIN, TX (March 7, 2023) — InvestmentNews released their 2023 Best Places to Work for Financial Advisers and, once again, Richard P. Slaughter Associates was included among the best industry employers across the country. This year, Slaughter Associates was ranked ninth in the small-employers category (15-29 employees) and made the publication’s list for the sixth consecutive year.

Each year since 2018, InvestmentNews has selected the top-75 firms based on employer and employee surveys conducted across the country evaluating company culture, benefits, career paths, and more. Slaughter Associates is proud to have been included in this group every year. Particularly, maintaining a best place to work status through the disruptions of the past three years is a remarkable achievement. It is a testament to the foundation of the firm and the dedication of the team serving our clients every day.

“Being a best place to work is a direct benefit to our clients who appreciate and rely upon consistency of service and expertise,” said Brooks Slaughter, President and CEO. “And there’s no more important time to have this consistency than during turbulent times when every client’s need for strategic guidance is at a peak.”

InvestmentNews partners with Best Companies Group, an independent research firm specializing in identifying great places to work, to compile the survey and recognition program. The list, begun in 2018, is a first-of-its-kind for the financial advice industry on a national scale.

“In a year that’s seen so much turmoil in the workplace — from mask mandates and canceled office re-openings to The Great Resignation — InvestmentNews is proud to spotlight those firms with a proven record of investing in their most valuable resource: their employees,” said Paul Curcio, executive editor of InvestmentNews. “We applaud this year’s finalists and wish them all the best in 2022.”

“Every year, InvestmentNews is proud to profile those who prioritize taking care of their own. We applaud this year’s Best Firm for Advisors winners for investing in their most precious resource: their people.” Said Paul Curcio, executive editor of InvestmentNews.
