Accounting is a very demanding profession that requires long work hours and rigorous attention to detail. In this fast-paced environment, however, Whittlesey & Hadley doesn’t lose sight of the importance of work-life balance and giving back to our community.

With roots in the Greater Hartford area dating back to 1961, we believe that our success must be equally matched by what we return to the community. The Firm actively sponsors a number of charitable fundraising and volunteering events each year. For instance The Helping Hartford Day is an annual event that Whittlesey & Hadley sets aside for all employees to volunteer for community organizations. The Firm’s partners and managers also participate on various boards and finance committees of the area’s non-profit organizations.

At Whittlesey & Hadley, we often say that we have the experience and expertise of a large, national firm, but the responsiveness of a local firm. The same philosophy applies with our approach to career development. We encourage our associates to continuously increase their skills and knowledge, but we provide the personal attention and mentorship to ensure that ongoing education and career development are all part of an integrated plan to promote individual growth.

But to counteract the professional demands faced by our employees, the firm offers a generous paid time off policy and a number of coordinated events and activities throughout the year. And there is always plenty of food during our busy tax season!
