Our Culture

Exeter makes the most of being a small company. Our partners work closely with each other, trading off leadership of specific projects. Junior staff members contribute to a wide variety of projects in a collaborative, relaxed work environment.

We believe in cultivating staff for the long haul—the average Exeter employee has been with the firm for over nine years. We also enjoy life outside of work. Collectively, we have 30 children, 8 grandchildren, a rock band, a swing band, and a sailing team. We work hard to keep our clients happy, while letting staff manage their own work schedules.
