Three advisors at Worcester-based financial planning firm Bartholomew & Company have been recognized with a 2026 FIVE STAR Wealth Manager award, continuing a streak of repeat honors for the downtown firm.
Senior Wealth Advisors Jim Cushman, Tom Bartholomew and Joshua Paul were each named recipients of the annual designation, according to a company announcement. The recognition marks the tenth consecutive year Bartholomew and Paul have received the award, while Cushman earned the distinction for the fourth straight year.
The awards are presented by Five Star Professional, which evaluates wealth management professionals using what the organization describes as “objective, third-party criteria,” according to the announcement. This year, nearly 5,000 Boston-area wealth managers were considered, with 449 selected.
Bartholomew & Company, headquartered at 370 Main St. in downtown Worcester, has operated since 1994 and provides financial planning and wealth management services to individuals and organizations throughout the region.
“We are incredibly proud to see Jim, Tom, and Joshua recognized once again for their dedication to serving clients with integrity and expertise,” Michelle Fuller, managing director of strategy and operations at Bartholomew & Company, said in the release. “Their continued commitment to excellence reflects the high standard we strive to uphold across our entire firm.”
The firm also maintains an office in Framingham.
According to the announcement, advisors pay a fee to use Five Star Professional marketing materials, and the recognition is not intended to predict future performance or client experience.
