Asheville-based Johnson Price Sprinkle PA (JPS) has been named among the Best Employers in North Carolina in an annual survey, placing third statewide among small to mid-sized companies with 15 to 249 employees. The firm earned praise for its extensive benefits package and an environment that promotes professional and personal growth.
“We’re honored to be included in this short list of only 30 companies representing the best working environments in our state,” said JPS CEO and Shareholder Benjamin C.

Among the benefits JPS employees receive are a flexible work schedule, shortened work weeks outside of the busy tax season, employer-paid health insurance and gym membership, a health savings account, matching 401K contributions, and continuing education reimbursement.
The company has developed a culture focused on supporting the community and profession through encouraging involvement in leadership roles and providing an unlimited number of paid volunteer hours.
“JPS has great benefits and is a very health-conscious firm,” said Annissa Piper, an administrative associate at the firm. “JPS does a lot for the community with various nonprofit organizations and supports our local businesses. These are just a few of the reasons I am happy to be here.”
