Bogart Wealth Included In The 2022 InvestmentNews Best Places To Work For Financial Advisers Rankings

Bogart Wealth, an independent, fee-only wealth management and Registered Investment Advisory firm, recently announced that they were listed in the InvestmentNews 2022 Best Places to Work for Financial Advisers rankings. Currently in its fifth year, the program recognizes financial advice businesses that create meaningful work experiences for all their professionals and value a commitment of excellence to both their employees and clients.

“I’m very proud of our team and our firm for receiving this recognition,” said James Bogart, President and CEO of Bogart Wealth. “We pride ourselves in creating a fun and caring work environment, and we’ve taken great care in building a family-oriented, collegial, and collaborative team – so we’re very happy to see that acknowledged with this ranking.”

Each year, this program is conducted in partnership with employee survey firm Best Companies Group. Winners are selected from a two-part survey completed by employers and employees. Employers report their organization’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, and employees complete a survey designed to measure the employee experience. Scores from the employee survey represent three-quarters of the weight of the final rankings.
