Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business Announce 2026 Best Places to Work in PA

Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business have named SEK, CPA & Advisors as one of the Best Places to Work in PA for 2026 in the medium employer category. The awards are held in partnership with Best Companies Group.

 

Best Places to Work in PA identifies, recognizes and honors the best places of employment in Pennsylvania in three categories: small employer (15-99 employees), medium employer (100-249) and large employer (250 or more). To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Pennsylvania; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Pennsylvania; and be in business a minimum of one year.

 

Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings.

 

There were two parts to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company's workplace policies, practices and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.

SEK also earned national recognition for its workplace culture, receiving an Honorable Mention in Accounting Today’s 2026 Best Accounting Firms to Work For program. The firm was among 125 accounting workplaces recognized nationwide, including 100 Best Accounting Firms to Work For and an additional 25 honorable mention recipients.

 

“The 2026 Best Places to Work in PA foster a positive environment for employees to thrive. They are champions of business because they look out for the well-being of their team members. Happy employees work hard and love what they do, and that combination translates into financial success for the company,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business. “We are pleased to join Best Companies Group in recognizing these outstanding businesses.”

 

An alphabetical listing of the 2026 Best Places to Work in PA winners is below. The final ranking will be announced at an awards ceremony on December 1.

 

Winners will be profiled in a publication that will be inserted into the December 4 issue of Central Penn Business Journal and the December 14 issue of Lehigh Valley Business. The magazine will be available online at CPBJ.com. and LVB.com.
