Principles of our commitment

The principles of our commitment are in direct reference of our six core values. These are the ones that reflect our vision and our culture.

Diversity

We strongly believe in equality for all, regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion & belief or sexuality, and that compliance with all legislation dealing with discrimination on the basis of these qualities is vital. However, our desire and commitment to addressing this agenda - combating discrimination, promoting equal opportunity, valuing diversity and managing inclusion, is driven not by legislation, but by our understanding of its essential importance to providing high calibre services in a personal, principled and professional way, which make a difference to our clients, our teams and our communities.

Our culture

The more we grow as individuals, the more the firm grows.

Our firm has thrived because of the quality of our individuals - the work we do makes a long-term difference to our clients’ successes and goals.

Our rich culture has evolved from firms that have come together. After a century-long experience as Neville Russell, we joined forces with the French firm Mazars & Guerard in 1998.

Nowadays with a global network of offices, we continue to encourage our people to express themselves openly – to add their individual talents and opinions to our mosaic.

We all work within a culture of high support and high challenge. We are not afraid to take on new and greater responsibilities. But we do this through encouragement – not pressure and competition.
