Allworth Financial Named to Fast Company's 2026 List of the 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators

Allworth's growing investment in AI-driven tools and firmwide innovation programs helped earn the firm a spot among the nation's most innovative workplaces.

FOLSOM, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Allworth Financial, an award-winning, full-service national registered investment advisor (RIA), today announced its inclusion on Fast Company's list of the 100 Best Workplaces for Innovators. The list recognizes 100 companies across industries that have built cultures empowering employees at every level to develop innovations that move their industries forward.

Allworth's selection reflects the firm's investment in innovation from within. Over the past 18 months, the firm has built a governed, firmwide AI operating model overseen by an internal AI Council. That structure has supported more than 45 enterprise AI initiatives across the firm's more than 600 employees. Combined, Allworth's AI initiatives saved advisors an estimated 30,000 hours in 2025 and contributed to an estimated $4 million in firmwide cost savings and cost avoidance.

"Our north star at Allworth is always the client," said John Bunch, Chief Executive Officer of Allworth Financial. "Every investment we make in our people, technology and platform is ultimately about creating an environment where our advisors can deliver the best possible service, experience and outcomes for the people who trust us with their financial lives. Innovation helps us remove friction, create more capacity for meaningful client relationships and continually raise the standard of service we provide as we grow."

The recognition comes as Allworth continues to build on the momentum of its national growth strategy. Since announcing its strategic investment partnership with Integrum Holdings, Lightyear Capital, and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan in June 2026, the firm has completed several acquisitions, surpassed $40 billion in assets under management, and continued to invest in the people, technology, and capabilities that support its growing national platform.
