2025 Business of the Year

Selected from our many Business of The Month winners, the Business of The Year sets the standard for excellence and leadership in our business community.

Groundworks

Groundworks is North America’s leading foundation repair and water management solutions company. Groundworks has been serving homeowners across the U.S. and Canada for decades, providing quality home repair solutions. Groundworks is a BBB-accredited business and a multi-time recipient of the Angi Super Service Award. Its 50-plus years of combined expertise bring Omaha homeowners innovative solutions and industry-leading warranties to protect their biggest investment — their home.

In 2022, Groundworks, formerly CLS, joined forces with Groundworks, the nation’s largest foundation repair company. This gave the company the opportunity to grow and provided additional benefits to all employees. The restructure gave homeowners additional service solutions, better warranties, exclusive products, and more. Groundworks recently celebrated 33 years in the Omaha community.

Customer feedback is extremely valuable and is a part of each home project. Viewed as a negative service, foundation repair and water management can be invasive and expensive to an unknowing homeowner. The company has the responsibility to treat the customer with utmost respect and provide an honest, permanent solution to their biggest investment. Groundworks has a 4.9-star rating on Google My Business and is A+ accredited with the Better Business Bureau.

Groundworks provides a daily mission to protect, repair, and improve customers’ greatest asset — their home. This mission is displayed in the office and warehouse to remind employees of their daily goal. The company continues to invest in its people and the communities it serves.

ACCESSbank

ACCESSbank is a locally owned community bank serving the Greater Omaha area since 2007, built on a foundation of relationship-based banking and personalized service. Recognized with multiple honors — including Forbes Best-In-State Bank, Best Banks to Work For by American Banker, and 13 consecutive years as a Best Bank by B2B Omaha Magazine — the organization continues to demonstrate a strong commitment to its clients, employees, and community.

What began as a single location with twelve employees has grown into a top ten bank in the Omaha metro, now serving clients across six locations with a team of more than 100 employees. Growth has been largely organic, guided by consistent service and long-standing client relationships. In 2025, the launch of a virtual branch and digital solutions team marked a significant step forward, introducing enhanced online capabilities and expanded support while maintaining a personalized approach.

A strong internal culture supports this continued success. High employee engagement, low turnover, and ongoing investment in professional development reflect a workplace where individuals feel valued and supported. Client satisfaction remains equally strong, with high review scores and a relationship-driven model.

Through strategic giving, employee-led initiatives, and community partnerships, ACCESSbank continues to invest in the long-term strength of the region it serves.

Carson Group

Carson Group is a leading wealth advisory firm managing over $57 billion in assets and serving more than 60,000 client families through a national network of partner offices. Founded in 1983 in a University of Nebraska — Lincoln dorm room, the firm has grown into one of the fastest-growing wealth advisory organizations in the country. Today, through its integrated businesses — Carson Wealth, Carson Coaching, and Carson Partners — it continues to expand its footprint through organic growth and strategic acquisitions while maintaining a strong presence in Omaha.

A defining milestone in recent years has been the firm’s investment in technology and innovation, including the launch of an advisor-centric AI platform designed to enhance efficiency and strengthen client relationships. Carson has also prioritized the development of future industry leaders through its NextGen career path and mentorship framework, creating structured opportunities for growth and advancement.

A strong culture supports this continued success, with high employee engagement and recognition as a Best Place to Work. Employees are empowered to give back through volunteer time off and charitable matching programs, reinforcing a culture of purpose and connection.

Through strategic partnerships, mentorship initiatives, and local investment — including support for organizations like Omaha 100 — Carson Group continues to strengthen both the financial services industry and the Omaha community it calls home.

Riekes Equipment

For 90 years, Riekes Equipment has specialized in solving material handling challenges, helping businesses improve efficiency, productivity, and profitability. From forklifts and cranes to warehouse design, the company has supported thousands of businesses across the country while maintaining a strong commitment to its employees and the communities it serves.

Growth has been shaped by resilience and innovation. After a devastating fire destroyed its Omaha facility in 1993, operations were restored in just weeks, demonstrating a deep commitment to customers. Continued investment followed, including the development of a 9,000-square-foot Customer Discovery Center in Omaha, where businesses can experience solutions firsthand. Over the years, consistent recognition — including multiple Dealer of Excellence honors and 16 consecutive Most Valued Partner awards — reflects a long-standing reputation for service and reliability.

A focus on continuous improvement is central to operations. Customer feedback is actively gathered and addressed through structured programs, leading to best-in-class customer satisfaction scores. Internally, a strong emphasis on employee engagement has resulted in a positive culture with much lower turnover than industry averages.

Leadership prioritizes listening, transparency, and long-term investment in people. Through ongoing feedback, enhanced benefits, and leadership development programs, Riekes Equipment continues to build a culture rooted in trust, accountability, and shared success.

It brings together capital, community voice, and cross-sector leadership to create and preserve affordable housing. Its various funds finance affordable and mixed-income housing developments, invest in formerly redlined neighborhoods to promote homeownership and prevent displacement, and advance innovative ideas and practices to address challenges in affordable housing. Front Porch also serves as a leading voice at the state and municipal level in support of public policies and investments that promote affordable housing development, and as a convener, connector, and strategic partner across the affordable housing ecosystem.

The organization has experienced sustained growth since its inception in 2021, including a growth of staff, partnerships, and programs. In just five years, Front Porch launched the Housing Innovation Fund to support new approaches to persistent challenges, introduced the Development and Preservation Fund deploying $44 million in combined public and private capital, established the community-led Greenlining Fund to expand equitable homeownership opportunities, and partnered with the City of Omaha to announce a $40 million investment in housing affordability.

By pairing execution with collaboration, it strengthens both housing outcomes and the systems that sustain them.

Hayes & Associates, LLC

For more than 40 years, Hayes & Associates has delivered trusted CPA and advisory services rooted in integrity, innovation, and a deep commitment to community. As one of Nebraska’s longest-standing culturally diverse CPA firms, the organization supports small businesses, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs in building sustainable success. Through its affiliation with the BDO Alliance USA, Hayes combines local expertise with broader national resources while maintaining a relationship-driven approach.

Founded in 1983, the firm has grown into a 35-employee Omaha-based practice known for reliable guidance and long-term client partnerships. A defining milestone has been the development of the “H&A Way,” a structured client process that emphasizes year-round advisory support, education, and strategic planning. This approach has strengthened client retention and reinforced a model focused on partnership rather than transactional services.

Community impact is central to its mission. Through Hayes Cares and initiatives like the Hayes Smart Start Financial Literacy for Small Business Owners program, the firm is helping address gaps in financial education across the region. Launched in 2025, the Smart Start course equips entrepreneurs with practical knowledge in budgeting, cash flow, and financial reporting, supporting broader access to financial tools and resources.

Through continued service, education, and engagement, Hayes & Associates remains committed to strengthening Omaha’s business and nonprofit community.

MyStaff Inc.

MyStaff is a boutique recruiting firm based in Omaha, specializing in corporate office staffing across Nebraska. Focused on accounting, administrative, human resources, legal, marketing, and executive leadership roles, the firm is known for its relationship-driven approach and deep local market knowledge. By prioritizing long-term, high-value matches, MyStaff helps build stronger teams and lasting careers.

Since its founding in 2017, the company has grown into a trusted staffing partner rooted in a people-first philosophy. Its model emphasizes trust, transparency, and long-term relationships over transactional placements. Internally, MyStaff has built a culture centered on autonomy, flexibility, and well-being, offering practices such as flexible work arrangements, unlimited paid time off, volunteer time off, and ongoing professional development. This approach supports strong employee engagement and continuity in an industry often defined by high turnover.

Civic engagement is embedded in how the organization operates. Team members actively support local nonprofits including Partnership 4 Kids, Project HomeWoven, Open Door Mission, and Make-A-Wish through mentoring, volunteer service, and community initiatives. The firm also contributes to workforce development through its ongoing partnership with the Greater Omaha Chamber’s HIRE Conference, helping connect job seekers, employers, and community organizations.

Through sustained service, professional leadership, and community partnerships, MyStaff continues to strengthen Omaha’s workforce and invest in its future.

The Reserves Network

The Reserves Network (TRN) is a national workforce solutions provider connecting businesses with top talent across a range of industries, including Executive, Accounting & Finance, Engineering, Information Technology, Industrial & Manufacturing, and Office & Professional staffing. With 32 offices nationwide and a strong presence in Omaha, the organization combines national reach with deep local relationships, helping drive growth for both employers and job seekers.

The Omaha team traces its roots to a veteran-founded firm built on service, discipline, and community involvement. A key milestone came in 2022, when the organization transitioned from Aureus Group under C&A Industries to The Reserves Network, a family-owned company founded in 1984. This transition strengthened long-term decision-making while maintaining a shared commitment to quality, reliability, and integrity. Today, a highly tenured local team reflects strong continuity and a people-first approach to leadership.

Excellence is driven by a culture of trust, accountability, and professional development. Employees are supported through flexible work arrangements, comprehensive benefits, and an environment that encourages continuous improvement. This internal strength translates into long-term partnerships with clients, who rely on consistent, responsive service.

Civic engagement is embedded in daily operations. Through workforce events, career fairs, and professional gatherings, the organization plays an active role in supporting economic development and expanding access to opportunity across the Omaha community.

Innovation

While others follow the beaten path, these businesses forge their own trail, constantly seeking fresh perspectives and unconventional solutions.

 

Ascend Technology Group

Ascend Technology Group delivers innovative IT solutions that help businesses operate smarter, faster, and more securely. The company specializes in managed services, cloud solutions, and strategic technology consulting tailored to each client’s needs. Its team is committed to building long-term partnerships by providing reliable support and forward-thinking guidance. At Ascend, technology is turned into a competitive advantage.

Ascend Technology Group has been helping Omaha’s small businesses and nonprofits use technology more confidently since 2005. It began as a traditional break-fix IT shop, but as small business servers became the norm in the early 2000s and the needs of small and mid-market companies changed, the company reinvented itself as a managed IT services provider. Innovation has meant staying a step ahead of what clients will face next. When cybercrime surged in 2018, the company made a deliberate pivot to build cybersecurity expertise by investing in tools, training, and processes that had previously only been accessible to larger enterprises. By 2020, as on-premise servers gave way to the cloud, Ascend evolved again, helping clients safely adopt Microsoft 365 and modern cloud platforms.

Today, with a team of 18 serving roughly 100 Omaha-based organizations, the company is guiding clients into the next phase of change — artificial intelligence. The focus is on helping local businesses securely integrate AI into daily operations, improving productivity while protecting sensitive data.

This commitment to innovation is reflected in strong client retention, steady growth, and a proactive approach to risk management. By anticipating industry shifts and responding with practical solutions, Ascend Technology Group continues to help businesses adapt with confidence.

Aviture embeds innovation into its operations. Through its Garage and broader Foundry ecosystem, the company invests in startup incubation, advanced research and development, and community-driven initiatives, ensuring a continuous pipeline of new ideas and capabilities.

Today, the organization produces millions of paper products each month while maintaining a strong commitment to purpose.

Innovation is central to its growth. In 2025, Outlook Nebraska celebrated its 25th anniversary while completing its largest initiative to date — the installation of a high-speed Bretting Life Interfolder capable of producing 850 cases of paper towels per shift.

Philanthropy is a central part of this work. Bridges Trust supports more than 70 nonprofit organizations and community initiatives annually through sponsorships and charitable giving. The firm also empowers employees through programs such as TeamUp and BT Gives, encouraging volunteerism and personal contributions.

Additional efforts, including Share the Wealth Omaha, promotes financial literacy and helps families build strong financial habits.

Through sustained giving, employee engagement, and long-term partnerships, Bridges Trust continues to support and invest in the strength and vitality of the Omaha community.

At First Interstate Bank, community engagement is rooted in a commitment to meet people where they are and help get them to where they want to be. With a culture built on courage, collaboration, and curiosity, the organization focuses on strengthening the communities it serves through meaningful partnerships and consistent investment.

In 2022, First Interstate Bank expanded its footprint into Nebraska through the acquisition of Great Western Bank. In 2025, the First Interstate Bank Foundation surpassed $100 million in philanthropic giving, marking a significant milestone in its commitment to community investment.

The organization empowers employees to contribute through programs such as Volunteer Day — when branches close to allow volunteer service — Believe in Local, and Gift/Donation Matching. Believe in Local distributes $1 million annually to nonprofit organizations nominated and selected by employees across the company’s footprint.

In the Omaha area, employees have completed volunteer projects, delivered financial literacy programming, and supported organizations focused on education, youth development, and basic needs. These efforts include partnerships with local nonprofits and programs designed to expand financial knowledge and opportunity.

Through sustained giving, employee engagement, and community-focused initiatives, First Interstate Bank continues to invest in the long-term strength and resilience of the communities it serves.

Ronco Construction’s story is rooted in recognizing opportunity and having the grit to pursue it. From its early work in Omaha to its continued expansion, the company has remained grounded in a commitment to integrity, safety, and strong relationships.
