Being privately held and employee owned lets us focus on your needs – not the short-term expectations of outside shareholders. This enables us to think and plan for the long-term, consistently reinvesting in our capabilities, expertise and technology to best serve you. It’s part of what makes us a workplace of choice for top talent from across our industry. It also reinforces the foundation of our uniquely collaborative, clients-first culture because we all understand our collective reputation and resources are on the line every day. And it ensures we all share a meaningful, personal stake in the successes we strive to create for you.
