Hoffman Estates, IL – Clearwater Capital Partners is proud to announce its recognition as one of the Best Places to Work in Illinois for 2026, marking the fifth consecutive year the firm has earned this distinction. The annual awards program, now in its 21st year and promoted by The Daily Herald Suburban Business, honors organizations that set the standard for workplace excellence and make meaningful contributions to Illinois’ business community.
“Being recognized for the fifth consecutive year means a great deal to us because it reflects the experience of our team. Culture isn’t static; it’s built and reinforced every day through how we show up for one another and for our clients. We’ve been intentional about creating an environment grounded in trust, accountability, and high standards. That doesn’t happen by accident, and it’s a direct result of the people who choose to be here and contribute to it. This recognition belongs to them, and we remain focused on continuing to build a firm that does things the right way,” says John Chapman, Clearwater Capital’s CEO.
The Best Places to Work in Illinois program is based on a comprehensive two-part evaluation process conducted by Best Companies Group in partnership with Workforce Research Group. Organizations are first evaluated on workplace policies, practices, and demographics, followed by an anonymous employee survey that measures satisfaction, engagement, and overall experience. The employee feedback component carries the greatest weight, ensuring that results are driven by the voices of those who know the organization best.
Being recognized for five consecutive years underscores Clearwater Capital Partners’ commitment to building a culture where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to perform at a high level. The firm continues to differentiate itself through its emphasis on professional development, team alignment, and an ownership mindset within the wealth management and family office space.
