What is the culture like at LBMC?

A culture of caring and support

  • Flexibility and autonomy to do your best work
  • Inclusive environment where you will feel like you belong
  • Teammates who like to collaborate and have fun
  • Professional growth and advancement opportunities
  • Opportunities for community involvement

For our company, high morale is just as crucial as high performance, so we are creating a “one-firm, one-team” environment, working collectively to achieve our personal and professional goals.

Encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit, we reinforce and promote a nimble, innovative performance culture that provides world-class systems and development opportunities. We offer a supportive and flexible workplace where our team members never stop learning. We know that culture is not only about what happens at work, but it’s about how work supports your life, too.

A culture of growth.

We’re serious about helping clients grow, but we can only do that by helping our team members grow, too. To us, growth is a collective initiative – one that requires and benefits the whole.

As one of the top firms in the U.S., we are able to offer you more than just a job; we offer you a future that is as bright as you want to make it. We are expanding our services, clients, team members and reach. LBMC is working diligently to develop a unique, collaborative culture with a focus on coaching and training programs. With an unwavering commitment to developing future leaders in the company.

John Mark McDougal“To me, our future is all about growth. How are we going to grow our business, what clients are we going to serve, what communities are we going to be in? But most importantly, how are we going to grow our team members?”John Mark McDougal, CPA, Audit and Assurance, LBMC, PC

We are initiating smart growth. That is, intentional, measured, and focused on fit. Becoming full-service goes past the services and products we offer – it’s about meaningful relationships and how they drive the conversation. We are refining cross-team collaboration with an advanced infrastructure that houses our experiences and expertise. We are leveraging relationships across the firm and the country as we do by investing in team members through our learning and development programs. We are focusing our efforts on expanding our current client relationships and service offerings. We anticipate their needs and offer advisory as well as compliance/regulatory services. We are expanding our offerings outside of Tennessee to become the primary resource across the Southeast. With the introduction of additional practices and services, we have grown into a full-service advisory practice through cross-team collaboration.

Mark Burnette“What sets us apart is actually our people. There are other firms that offer services similar to ours, but the way that we do it with such a close personal relationship is something that is different than the other firms and allows us to continue growing.” – Mark Burnette, CPA, CISA, CISSP, CISM, CRISC, CCSFP, QSA, Advisory Services Group Leader, LBMC, PC

Optimization

Trusting the process starts with improving the process and that’s what we’ll do. Anyone can join the competition and emulate their success. At LBMC, do our research and tweak what we’re already doing and well. We weigh the ROI of new tech, so we can continue to enhance the overall experience for our clients and our team members. With smart investments in people, processes, and technology, we are working to exceed client expectations and stay ahead of the competition. Technology is not taking the place of meaningful interactions with clients and team members. It is used to support our clients’ needs and offer them options to make their journey with LBMC and easy one.

Buck Freeman“Optimization is more than just technology. It’s redefining people’s jobs and streamlining our processes. It’s looking at what we do every day.”Buck Freeman, CPA, Audit and Assurance, LBMC, PC

Client Experience

Together, we are developing an experience that fosters more than just satisfied clients. At LBMC, we rally alongside one another to ensure that each client we work with becomes a raving fan. We’re going beyond exceptional customer service and ensuring that clients enthusiastically share their experiences with the rest of the world. We continue to develop a more sophisticated solution portfolio while maintaining our middle market client focus and helping them with advanced problem-solving and unique solutions. As we build on a culture that support an LBMC client experience, we are developing into advisors that offer excellent compliance services. We are implementing enhanced efforts and increased outreach to stay top-of-mind. We are evolving into the digital new age with consistent client experience across all channels. And we are giving clients the ability to interact with us when they want and how they want.

Suzanne Reed“Client experience is not just client satisfaction; it’s creating that raving fan. It’s creating an environment where our clients know they are first priority, and it’s where our clients become our largest referral sources.”Suzanne Reed, MBA, CMO, LBMC, PC
