Lifestyle and Culture

This is how work should be. We are a small firm with a champion team. We achieve success, then enjoy our lives. We are skilled professionals who support and elevate each other. We value expertise and work-life balance. When working, we meet our deadlines and satisfy our clients. Everyone is very competent and eager to help. We are generous and understanding with each other. We care to impress and support our team. Our tools and processes never hinder us. We don’t participate in internal activities (meetings, emails, events) that unnecessarily take up time. Though, you may catch us watching a game and having refreshments in the conference room. Your window office has space to spread out your work. Our facilities and grounds meet your needs. We don’t advertise; our work is acquired by reputation, and there is more than enough. We encourage our associates to network and develop professionally, and keep focus on the fundamentals: be reliable, efficient, thorough in research, produce quality work, and maintain clear communication. At HKSJ, you set the bar for your own success and are rewarded for your performance. So long as the work is getting done, your schedule becomes flexible. Our work supports our personal lives, not the reverse. Our camaraderie comes from fostering this positive environment.
