Notes: N/A=not available. Only employers whose Central Massachusetts employee counts could be determined are included on this list. Franklin's Owens & Minor and Leominster's United Solutions do not disclose employee counts. Unable to confirm data by press time for Marlborough's BJ's Wholesale Club Inc., Southborough's nirvanaHealth/RxAdvance or Worcester's Eaton Corp. CORRECTIONS: Chicago-based BDO USA LLC closed its Gardner office, which had been open since 1924. BDO reported 320 and 300 local staff members on the 2023 and 2022 surveys respectively. Upon closure of the Gardner office, it came to light that BDO had been reporting statewide employee counts as the local Central Mass. figure; the firm's Boston location is now the sole office statewide. CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen) reported its statewide employee count of 379 employees as the local Central Mass. figure on the 2023 survey; Worcester is its only local office with 16 employees. Devens Commonweatlh Fusion Systems (CFS) statewide employee count was reported as the local Central Mass. figure on the 2023 version of the list; the oversight was based on a February 2023 press release that stated the majority of CFS employees work in Devens. In 2024, CFS' local employee count of 114 employees has been corrected and can be seen on WBJ's list of Top Clean Energy Companies to appear in the May 27 issue and the upcoming 2024 Book of Lists. (1) Local employee counts were gathered during the first two quarters of 2024 unless otherwise noted. -Compiled by: Heide Martin and Stephanie R. Meagher, research@nebusinessmedia.com
