St. Charles, IL — April 30, 2026 — Apex CPAs & Consultants has been named to the 2026 Best Places to Work in Illinois list, a prestigious recognition that highlights organizations with outstanding workplace culture, employee satisfaction, and commitment to their teams.

The Best Places to Work in Illinois program, launched in 2006 and promoted by Daily Herald Suburban Business, honors companies that excel in creating positive, engaging work environments while contributing to the broader economic health of the state.

The 2026 Best Places to Work in Illinois list is designed to identify, recognize, and celebrate the top employers across the state. Apex CPAs & Consultants was recognized in the small employer category (15–99 U.S. employees), reinforcing the firm’s continued focus on building a strong, people-first culture.

This continued recognition reflects Apex’s long-term commitment to its team, having been included on the list each year since 2022.

• Employ at least 15 people working in Illinois
• Operate as a for-profit, not-for-profit, or government entity
• Be publicly or privately held
