The Importance of Our People

We are a team and the work life here reflects this. We work hard and the nature of the public accounting industry sometimes demands a good deal from each of us. Together we exceed expectations. Relying on each other and supporting each other when we need help are the keys to our success.

Dugan & Lopatka believes strongly that the strength of our company is our people and our firm culture.  The two support each other and together create an excellent place to work.  Each of us is committed to getting the work done, but no one is an island.  We work together to solve problems, tackle the workload and to better our firm and ourselves.  The work life at Dugan & Lopatka can best be described by our Statement of Values:

Worth of Individual

We practice the "Golden Rule" in decision-making.  We will respect human life, dignity, and rights of each including the consideration of their health, welfare, and work environment.  We will seek to give positive affirmation and recognition.

Honest and Truthful Communication

We will strive to be genuine, open, and above-board in all relationships.  We will honestly and accurately report the facts.

Responsibility of the Individual as Part of a Team

Each of us will accept individual accountability for the use of our time, talents, and firm resources.  We, as a firm, will aim to motivate each other by praise rather than criticism to create an atmosphere of productivity and freedom to admit individual mistakes in order to accomplish our team goals.

We invite you to talk with our people and read our Statement of Values to understand our firm, its culture and work life.
