RubinBrown: One Firm, A Tradition of Trust

Advantages of the One-Firm Culture

While the team successfully provided seamless service to the client, the project challenged the firm’s work-life balance over the course of the three-year audit. In addition to the demands of the audit, which required constant travel back and forth across the state, team members also continued to work on previously scheduled engagements. The team did its best to find creative ways to have a little fun and at the end of the program, they had a new appreciation of the depth of resources and talent within the firm. At the end of the day, the project tested the resolve of a one-firm culture in which everyone shared responsibility. Ultimately it resulted in an appreciation that RubinBrown’s one-firm culture had played a major role in creating a bonding experience for the entire team, as well as the project’s success. “ Our group may not always have the answers, so we tap into other areas. We might just need to talk with someone in another office by phone for a couple of hours. There are no egos. We just do what is needed to help each other serve our client. ” Partner, 17 years of service Upon completion of the project, RubinBrown not only met the challenge of a 10,000-hour state audit, but the quality of the firm’s work has had long-lasting benefits in positioning the Public Services Sector Group to continue to be selected by other states for work with government agencies and state universities.
