You’ll Find Balance Between Your Work and Your Life

Business consulting careers involve hard work. And, although we work hard, quality of life is a top priority. We want our team members to enjoy a fulfilling and rewarding career while maintaining an active family and personal life.

To support that goal, you have access to flextime work schedules and the option to work from home. Go ahead and put your haircut or your child’s soccer games on your calendar. You need to work when it’s good for you. So, whether you want to start early and leave early, or start later to take your children to school and then work later, we’ll support you.

And, if you have a dream you want to pursue, you will have the flexibility to make it happen.

You’ll Work in a Robust Team Environment

If you are looking for business consulting careers in a collaborative work environment where individual team members are empowered to get things done, Adams Brown is your firm. Our leadership team consists of members of all ages, but we pride ourselves on sustaining a youthful, innovative and agile outlook. It helps our employees reach their full potential and our clients reap the benefits.

The firm is on a strong trajectory of growth. That opens opportunities for our professionals because it creates layers of opportunities for advancement. Attracting and retaining the best talent out there is a priority so we’ve hired a director of employee development to help ensure fulfilling career paths for everyone.

A DIFFERENT CAREER PATH: Climbing Mountains, Both Literal & Figurative

“After suffering a TBI from the car accident, the outpouring of support I received from the firm was nothing short of above+beyond. The firm didn’t just send me well-wishes—they put action behind their words. They even helped my parents install a handicap-accessible bathroom for me while I recovered.”

LEAD Program: Growing Leaders at Every Level

At Adams Brown, leadership is more than a title—it’s about taking action, building meaningful relationships, and finding purpose in what you do. That’s why we created the LEAD Program, a comprehensive professional development journey designed to empower team members to grow both personally and professionally while driving the firm’s success.

Whether you’re an experienced leader or just starting your career, LEAD provides a structured yet flexible opportunity to sharpen your skills, build connections, and prepare for what’s next.

What Is the LEAD Program?

Drawing inspiration from Jim Collins’ Good to Great, the LEAD Program is rooted in five pillars that define leadership at every level. Each pillar offers 8–10 sessions, blending professionalism, communication, teamwork and firm culture with hands-on exercises, professional reading and personalized manager discussions. These tools help participants not only learn but also apply their skills in real time, making a tangible impact on their teams and the firm.

LEAD with ACTION

Focuses on self-awareness and personal growth.

LEAD with RELATIONSHIPS

LEAD OTHERS

LEAD the FIRM

What Makes LEAD Unique?

  • Learn from the Best:

    75% of LEAD sessions are facilitated by Adams Brown’s principals and senior leaders, who bring their passion and expertise to the table.

  • Interactive Learning:

    From leading meetings to participating in research calls, participants gain practical, real-world skills they can implement immediately.

  • Customized Growth:

    Each season is designed to help individuals identify and refine their leadership styles while addressing areas for improvement.

 

But what truly sets LEAD apart is its focus on building deeper connections with firm leaders and peers from various focus areas and office locations. As one participant noted:

“I believe the most impactful thing on my personal AND professional growth was hearing different perspectives from others in the group. The presentations gave us tools to grow, but the insights from participants elevated the experience even further.” Sam Jacobs, HR Business Partner (LEAD the FIRM)
