Four Times and Counting: IC System Named One of the Best Places to Work in Collections for 2026

Some accomplishments are worth celebrating every time.

IC System is proud to announce that we have been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Collections for 2026. This marks the fourth time we’ve received this honor. While we’re grateful for the recognition, what makes this award especially meaningful is where it comes from: our employees. Workplace culture isn’t created by words on a page. It’s built through everyday actions, relationships, and the experiences employees have with their teams and leaders.

An Award Driven by Employees
The Best Places to Work in Collections program, presented by Best Companies Group in partnership with ACA International, recognizes organizations that demonstrate outstanding workplace cultures within the accounts receivable management industry.

The evaluation includes an assessment of company practices along with confidential employee feedback about topics such as leadership, communication, engagement, and overall workplace satisfaction. Because employees play such an important role in the evaluation process, this recognition reflects the voices and experiences of the people who know IC System best.

The Family-Owned Difference
One of the things that makes IC System unique is something that’s becoming increasingly rare in our industry.
For 88 years, IC System has remained family owned. Today, we are proud to be led by the third generation of the founding family.

As many organizations in the collections industry have transitioned through acquisitions, private equity investment, or larger corporate ownership, IC System has remained independent. That allows us to maintain a long-term perspective and make decisions based on what’s best for our employees, clients, and the consumers we serve.

Family ownership gives us the ability to invest in our people, strengthen our culture, and focus on building relationships that last—not just achieving short-term goals.

A Culture Built to Last
The collections industry continues to evolve, but one thing remains constant: great companies are built by great people.

At IC System, we believe that supporting employees creates stronger teams, better client relationships, and better experiences for everyone we serve. From professional growth opportunities to recognition, collaboration, and a commitment to doing the right thing, our culture is built by the people who make IC System what it is today.

Being recognized as one of the Best Places to Work in Collections four times is a reflection of that commitment.

Thank You to Our Team
This recognition belongs to our employees. Thank you to every member of the IC System team for your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to our values. Your hard work is what makes this achievement possible.

We’re proud of four Best Places to Work in Collections recognitions, 88 years of family ownership, and the culture we’ve built together.
Here’s to continuing to make IC System a place where people are proud to work.
