Mission and Values

Mission Statement

To earn the trust of those we serve—our clients and each other—through a culture of caring and shared values.

Core Values

  • Actively listen to our clients in order to understand and serve them based on their needs and goals.
  • Communicate early and often to manage expectations on timing, findings, and billing.
  • Act as one team by bringing all of the firm’s resources to our clients.
  • Build win/win, long-term relationships by being a proactive, trusted advisor vs. a ‘service’ provider.
  • Actively listen to our team members in order to understand their needs and goals, and support them with a plan to achieve them.
  • Provide honest feedback; be specific and sincere when giving praise, and clear and kind when giving criticism.
  • Celebrate successes–big and small.
  • Make a difference – don’t just talk about a problem, be part of the solution.
  • Understand that LaPorte’s success positively impacts our clients, our employees, their families, and the communities we serve.
  • Don’t accept the status quo. Continue to look for ways to improve everything that we do.
  • Be clear on expectations.
  • Hold yourself and others accountable for achieving expectations.
  • Do the right thing, always.
  • Honor our commitments. Do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you’re going to do it.
