What our people say and value about working at Davis & Company

There is a huge amount of trust that is given from the start which supports the integrity of firm in turn all employees. The firm stands by its word when it comes to hour requirements and busy season. Having none is nothing like I’ve seen before and proves by caring for us (the employees) we can still turn around quality work meeting any and all client expectations while allowing for manageable and acceptable hours for the employees and their respective families.
