🎉 Third Place, Eight Wins, and a Whole Lot of Gratitude: Why We're Celebrating at One Park Financial

Eight Time Winners of the Sun Sentinel's Top Workplaces

If you’ve walked past our Coconut Grove HQ lately, you may have noticed the energy is dialed up to eleven—and for good reason.

We’re thrilled to share that One Park Financial has been named a 2025 Sun Sentinel Top Workplace—for the 8th time! But wait… it gets even better. This year, we didn’t just make the list—we climbed all the way to 3rd place out of 65 amazing businesses. Our best ranking yet! Oh, and did we mention we also received a special award for Communication? Yep, it was our biggest year yet for this coveted award.

So, What Makes a Top Workplace?

The Sun Sentinel’s Top Workplaces list isn’t something you apply for with a fancy packet or marketing campaign. It’s based on anonymous employee feedback—real thoughts, real voices, real culture. That’s what makes this recognition mean so much to us.

At One Park, our people come first. That’s not a slogan—it’s our foundation. From our leadership team to our newest Grovies (that’s what we call ourselves—we’re proudly Grove-based, after all), we believe in living and breathing our core values: Results, Client Success, Taking Risks, and Fun.

Whether it’s our Dream Weaver Program—which is an awesome founder-led program that makes our team members’ dreams come true—or our Core Value Coins that let us recognize each other, we work hard and celebrate often. Because building something amazing should feel amazing, too.

A CEO Who Means It

Here’s what our CEO, John Lie-Nielsen, had to say:

“We are fired up and excited to be recognized as a Top Workplace for the 8th time, and to be in 3rd place, no less! It’s quite an accomplishment. One Park is not One Park without its Grovies.”

Our Mission: More Than Just Business Funding

Sure, we help small business owners across the U.S. access fast, reliable working capital—and we’re proud of that. But the truth is, we’re just as passionate about helping our team grow as we are about helping our clients grow. Because when business owners feel supported, they do amazing things.

We’re also big believers in giving back. From supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Miami-Dade to working with Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, we’re committed to making an impact far beyond our office walls.

Here's to What’s Next

We’re honored. We’re grateful and we’re fired up to keep going. Whether you're a future Grovie, a small business owner looking for support, or a longtime client of One Park, we hope you'll celebrate with us.
