At HoganTaylor LLP, the goal is to help clients be successful – whether they are a financial institution, a manufacturer, a nonprofit or family needing help with wealth planning. Or maybe they need an employee benefit plan audit or someone to advise them about which capital sources are best for their business.

Either way, it is all about the clients … except when it’s about the employees.

The family-friendly environment at HoganTaylor has upper management striving to lead the industry in promoting work-life balance.

As one company spokesperson put it, “We genuinely believe our employees are our most important resource and strive to put them first in our decisions.”

This is evident in the company providing an environment where staffers can increase their professional skills through strong training in a challenging work setting, providing a wellness program, and creating an Employee Advisory Council.

While many public accounting firms work 70 to 80 hours a week during the busy season, at HoganTaylor, they strive to limit those hours to 55 or fewer. As a bonus, they provide numerous meals, snacks and individual goodie bags for employees. At 5 p.m. each Friday, margarita night commences to help employees relax. Speaking of relaxation, management also brings in a masseuse for a free 30-minute massage.

In April, the firm participates in the TOMS Shoes “One Day without Shoes” event by allowing employees to go barefoot or wear socks.

The company offers an annual bonus program, which includes cash incentives and an additional 401(k) contribution.
