Top B2B Service Providers for Sustained & Fast Growth for 2021

Crystal City, VA — Great Place to Work® has honored cBEYONData as one of the 2021 Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services™. This is cBEYONData’s second time being named to this prestigious list, this year placing 19th out of the top 50 small and medium companies nationwide. Earning a spot means that cBEYONData is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

The Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services award is based on an analysis of survey responses from more than 463,000 current employees across the U.S. In that survey, 100% of cBEYONData’s employees said cBEYONData is a great place to work.

“We are so grateful for our dedicated employees who have made us a part of this list for the past two years,” said CEO, Dyson Richards. “Our people make working at cBEYONData a truly awesome experience every day. We celebrate and thank them for all they do to earn this incredible honor.”

The Best Workplaces in Consulting & Professional Services list is highly competitive. Great Place to Work, the global authority on workplace culture, selected the list using rigorous analytics and confidential employee feedback. Companies were only considered if they are a Great Place to Work-Certified™ organization.

Great Place to Work is the only company culture award in America that selects winners based on how fairly employees are treated. Companies are assessed on how well they are creating a great employee experience that cuts across race, gender, age, disability status, or any aspect of who employees are or what their role is.

“These companies are proof that strong company culture is not restricted to the physical workplace,” said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, VP global recognition, Great Place to Work®. “Despite the challenges of the pandemic and remote work, employees at these companies say they feel supported by their leaders, connected to their colleagues, and that managers bring out the best in everyone.”

In 2020, cBEYONData also ranked as a Best Workplace in FORTUNE’s Best Small Workplaces ranking #12.

The federal government has long been looking for ways to improve efficiency and provide better outcomes for the taxpayer. While there is no silver bullet, Robotic Process Automation (RPA) comes very close.

Interestingly, the federal financial management (FM) community is leading the way in adopting RPA to improve the efficiency of back-office operations. It may be because FM processes are often very repetitive which makes RPA a great fit, but they are the driving force behind much of the RPA push in the federal government. Led by Michael Huffman of cBEYONData, the members of the Association of Government Accountants (AGA) recognized this phenomenon and decided to study the adoption of RPA within the federal FM community.

The results of our study have been recently published in a paper that is available on the AGA website. We found that while the FM community are early adopters, there is a very exciting path forward and significant automation opportunities still to come. Will it result in massive transformation? Time will tell, but those we interviewed are excited and ready to find out. So are we!
