We’re proud to share that Gilbert & Cook has once again been recognized in Citywire RIA’s 2025 report: 50 Growers Across America — an annual ranking of the fastest-growing Registered Investment Advisory (RIA) firms in each state.
This marks the third time in the past four years (2022, 2023 & 2025) that Gilbert & Cook has earned this recognition, a testament to the lasting trust of our clients and the dedication of our growing team.
The 2025 report analyzed over 15,000 SEC-registered firms nationwide and selected just 146 firms across all 50 states. Rankings were based on:
Year-over-year AUM growth
Percentage of AUM growth
Employee headcount expansion
“Sustained growth only happens when you stay focused on delivering real value,” said Zach Ripka. “This recognition reflects our team’s shared commitment to helping clients Live a Life of Abundance®, no matter how complex or dynamic their financial world may be.”
At Gilbert & Cook, we believe growth is not just about numbers—it’s about the lives we help shape. This honor reinforces our belief that when we lead with purpose, progress follows.

Disclosure & Methodology: The 2025 50 Growers Across America is presented by CityWire RIA. Gilbert & Cook did not pay to be considered for or included in this ranking. Inclusion is based entirely on the criteria and methodology established by CityWire RIA. This rating may not be representative of any one client’s experience and is not indicative of future investment performance. To be eligible for the Citywire RIA "50 Growers Across America" list, firms must be independent RIAs that file their own Form ADV with the SEC and provide financial planning and related services to clients. Citywire RIA looked at eligible firms' growth in 2024 across three categories: percentage growth in assets under management (AUM), monetary growth in AUM and percentage growth in employees. Citywire RIA uses these figures to create a "growth factor" score with companies scoring highest by state being named to the list. No fees or other considerations are required from RIAs to be included in the Citywire RIA ranking.
