Encouraging open communication
Home » Culture
From the beginning, Maxwell Locke & Ritter’s founders Earl Maxwell, Tom Locke and Mark Ritter, were determined to establish a new kind of CPA firm. Knowing there was a better way to practice public accounting, they focused on founding a unique culture where people looked forward to spending their time in the workplace. This set the stage for the foundation of our culture today, one focused on helping its people reach their potential while providing exceptional service to clients and the community.
Great values, great clients, care about our community and bright people with strong values.
I don’t have to choose between a healthy home life, being a contributing member of my community and a successful career, rather, I am encouraged and supported to find a balance that works for my life as a whole.
There is a strong commitment to the community and ML&R encourages active involvement by its people.
If you are going to work in public accounting, MLR is far and away the best place to work. The firm’s commitment to family and community is unparalleled.
