Our Culture
From the early days of our founders, Whitley Penn has been known for having an entrepreneurial spirit. Employees at all levels are encouraged to develop relationships internally and externally, create programs and initiatives for advancement, and focus on delivering high quality client service.
One program that we launched is our WAVE initiative, WAVE stands for Women Advocacy Value and Enrichment and is truly focused on the empowerment of women at the firm. Another program launched a couple of years ago that has really taken off is our Lunch Buddies program. This program focuses on giving team members, no matter their level, the opportunity to ‘sit at the table’ monthly with a senior leader, firm executive, or colleague to enjoy lunch, ask questions, share ideas, and learn from them. Additionally, our recruiting and hiring process truly focuses on skill, talent, and the ability to do the job, and do it well. We strive to simply hire the best talent that believes in our mission no matter what.
