Welcome to Inside Attivo, a multi-part series that follows the core values and practices that make Attivo Partners an exceptional place to work. In this series, we’ll explore important topics like flexibility, remote work, onboarding, professional development, and more. 

At Attivo, we are deeply committed to professional excellence, innovation, and fostering a supportive atmosphere for our team. Our values and policies have matured alongside our growth, forming the cornerstone of our success. Follow along as we share insights, testimonies, and stories that highlight how our culture enables our team members to thrive professionally and personally.
 

At Attivo, we’re redefining consulting by putting collaboration, training, and professional development at the forefront of the employee experience. We believe that investing in the professional development of our people and providing them with the best tools not only creates a world-class employee experience but leads to a superior client experience as well. This belief permeates every aspect of our operations.

A Fresh Take on Consulting

Attivo is a place where confident, critical thinkers with a creative outlook and a curiosity to learn can thrive. By creating an environment where communication and collaboration are key, we’re redefining the consulting experience. Our culture is embodied in these 6Cs.
 

“We’re building an environment where those who are ambitious and willing to go the extra mile will find the success and opportunities they’re looking for,” says Rebecca Lee, Co-Founder of Attivo. 

To ensure that our people and clients succeed, Attivo takes a team-based approach to client service, integrating closely with clients’ teams and ensuring internal collaboration among accountants, account managers, and CFOs. By combining this collaborative approach with exceptional training and onboarding, we lay the foundation for employee, client, and firm success. 

Collaboration at All Levels

We’ve implemented opportunities for collaboration at every level of our firm. When Attivo supports a client, we integrate into the client’s team to understand their business and ensure the impact of our work. When clients partner with Attivo, they tap into the combined expertise and experience of our entire team, ensuring a comprehensive and collaborative approach—far beyond what any single consultant could provide. 

Within Attivo, teams work together to ensure mutual success. Accountants, Accounting Managers, and CFOs collaborate to make each other successful, which in turn makes the entire team successful. 

“I’ve been in the consulting space for about 15 years and worked with several firms. Where Attivo is different is in the collaborative environment they’ve created. Even when I’m a part of a client team, I don’t feel isolated from the rest of the firm. 

In other companies I’ve been at, it didn’t feel like we could really talk to each other to collaborate and solve shared problems. The intentional collaborative spaces that Attivo has created through tools like Roam and Slack are really helpful, because we solve real problems and are reminded that we’re not alone.”

– Matthew Stiffler, Sr. Accountant

The team approach also allows for more efficient work processes, as team members can share knowledge and resources, reducing the need for individual research and enabling quicker responses to client needs. By taking a collaborative approach to consulting, teams have greater capacity, and as a bonus benefit, employees are able to enjoy a higher degree of flexibility in their schedules. 

 

Growth Through Peer Mentorship

With the 6Cs (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Curiosity, Communication, Collaboration, and Confidence) guiding the way, Attivo has made a concerted effort to develop a precedent-setting onboarding and training experience among consulting firms. Attivo drives employee development through an emphasis on peer mentorship that starts on day one. 

“The interview process was more thorough than experiences I’ve had in the past, and it gave me confidence right away that this was a place I would want to stay for a long time. My onboarding manager helped me with anything I needed, whether it was training or talking through technical accounting questions, and it became almost like a friendship. They were a great mentor and a fantastic resource.” 

– Marcia Donaldson, Accounting Manager

At Attivo, we strengthen our team by providing employees with a guide and resources to navigate onboarding and spur professional development. Building a focused, well-supported team is what helps employees achieve their personal career goals and ensures clients receive the best service possible.

In addition to day-to-day activities, Employees have the opportunity to work on various financial models, fundraising activities, and other tasks that they might not encounter as frequently in a traditional in-house accounting role. 

Attivo’s multi-client environment, team-oriented approach, and non-traditional accounting experiences create opportunities for rapid advancement and professional growth for employees. 
Team members are encouraged to take on new responsibilities and learn from each other. This collaborative and open environment drives a culture people love and ultimately helps employees advance in their careers.
