Proud to Sponsor and Speak at NCEO 2019

St. Paul, Minnesota (February 12, 2019) – Accounting firm Redpath and Company, Ltd. (Redpath) is a proud sponsor of the NCEO conference in Pittsburgh this spring.

More than 1,800 people will gather April 9-11 for the 2019 Employee Ownership Conference to learn how to make employee ownership reach its potential by sharing best practices and focusing on technical nuts and bolts. The conference, hosted by the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO), will be held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh.

The U.S. presently has more than 6,600 employee ownership companies that employ at least 10.6 million people. These companies grow 2.5% per year faster than they would have without employee ownership, and research released by the NCEO in 2017 shows that employee-owners have 92% greater net household wealth and 33% greater income from wages than non-employee-owners. Companies choose employee ownership as a tax-favored means of business transition, as well as a way to engage employees. As employee ownership has grown, the number of conference attendees has also grown by over 50% since 2011.

Redpath is proud to be sponsoring this conference, and Brian Sweeney will be there from the firm presenting the following session:
