Why is HORNE a Place I Should Go to Work?

Written by HORNE | August 20, 2015

As a talent recruiter for the firm, that is a question I get a lot.  And, quite honestly, I think there are a lot of reasons I could tell you. We each connect our personal purpose to the Horne accounting firm in different ways. For me, it’s the Wise Firm we’re building. But, instead of sharing only my opinion, I’d like to share what other team members are saying.

You see, we actually asked our team members, “What makes HORNE a place where people want to work?”  The top three answers were 1.) Fearless Unrivaled Flexibility 2.) Belonging at HORNE and 3.) a “beBetter” mindset.

Allow me to elaborate.

Fearless Unrivaled Flexibility is our philosophy on integrating our personal lives with our careers.  We did away with all the policies (Career Balance Arrangements, flexibility policies, etc.) and empowered our team members to define how life looks for them.  Commitment, trust and communication are our three requirements. After that, as long as the client is happy, we can be as creative with our flexibility as we want to be!

Belonging at HORNE means we’re creating a place where everyone can reach their full potential. For us, that means championing an inclusive culture through intentional actions, resources and relationships across the firm that help each other grow. Belonging at HORNE is our goal for every team member.

A beBetter mindset means we challenge the status quo. Every day. “beBetter” is everywhere at HORNE. We say it. We’ve named reports after it. But even more than that, we’ve internalized it. It’s a part of everything we do and it means life here is never boring!

So, there you have it. The top three reasons we love HORNE.
