OUR PEOPLE

Our priority is our people. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for individuals to learn and grow, expanding the possibilities of how we serve our clients better and impact our communities. Now, more than ever, we are committed to building a culture where individuals feel enriched and fulfilled.

 

Our firm works with team members across all offices and service lines to build and sustain an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

While location matters less than ever and we are dynamic in our approach, our traditional offices are based in the US and the UK. Our team serves clients across the globe from FD’s worldwide locations.

We provide unique development resources, opportunities and experiences that enhance employee knowledge and skills to deliver our promise of Investing in Relationships to Make a Difference®. We encourage our team members to bring their whole selves to work each day, and we understand that when we invest in our people, they will invest in their clients and communities. This leads to business transformation.

FD is a Deliberately Developmental Organization (DDO) whose approach to continuous development of our team members was profiled in the book An Everyone Culture, published by Harvard Business Review.

We’re proud to be a part of the communities we serve and see to engage and give back through intentional service. Part of our employee experience is carrying on the tradition of our founders and actively participating in service opportunities.

In 2021, FD announced a multiyear partnership with the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs (RICE). The center, located in Atlanta, Georgia, exists to inspire and empower Black entrepreneurs.

 FD is not only supporting with dollars but with time too. Each year, our team will work with RICE entrepreneurs to develop plans for growth.

Partner Donna Beatty is a board member for C5 Georgia, an organization that serves teens from under-resourced communities by inspiring them to pursue personal success while preparing them for leadership roles in college, work and their communities.

This year, we were honored to supply C5 with 55 laptop computers to give graduating students to use in their continuing education.

Our team annually dedicates time to serve our local community partners in a day of volunteering termed FD Impact Day. This year, across all locations, our firm collectively donated 1,136 hours through this organized mission.
