When you do your homework, you expect every company to put a best foot forward. In fact, what you should expect is a thoroughly objective appraisal.

1. We have a long, steady, substantial, reputable history.
2. We are mid-size and local, but our client list and complex assignments rival much larger firms.
3. Our size and challenges dictate that we are not sequestered. Each of us is on the firing line, stretching our intellectual abilities without sacrificing the experience of working directly with clients.
4. We allow and encourage every associate at every level to develop rapport with clients, and find better ways to serve them.
5. SL has a low partner to employee ratio, meaning our people take on more responsibility more quickly. The result? They grow and advance at a more rapid pace than elsewhere.
6. Our culture states that excessive travel has negative consequences for our people and the firm. We do not spend extended periods of time, or weekends, out of town. Specifically, 70% of assurance clients do not require our overnight travel, and 90% of the assurance client base is less than a two-hour drive.
7. Doubtless, we have a busy season like everyone else; but we are serious about a proper work/life balance. Dangerously tipping the scales either way serves no one's interest, least of all SL's interest.
8. As a member of the BDO Alliance, we have numerous opportunities to gain new experiences, access to resources, expand our knowledge and broaden our horizons.
9. We are technologically sound, giving you the tools to thrive.
