Peterson James & Co's Core Principles

1. Our clients’ interests always come first. Our experience shows that if we serve our clients well, our own success will follow.

2. Our assets are our people, capital and reputation. If any of these is ever diminished, the last is the most difficult to restore. We are dedicated to complying fully with the letter and spirit of the laws, rules and ethical principles that govern us. Our continued success depends upon unswerving adherence to this standard.

3. Our goal is to provide a superior and bespoke service to our clients. We believe that our clients are equally the agencies we conduct payroll services for and the contractors we pay on their behalf

4. We take great pride in the professional quality of our work. We have an uncompromising determination to achieve excellence in everything we undertake.

5. We stress creativity and imagination in everything we do. While recognising that the old way may still be the best way, we constantly strive to find a better solution to a client’s problems. We pride ourselves on having pioneered many of the practices and techniques that have become standard in the industry.

6. We make an unusual effort to identify and recruit the very best person for every job. Without the best people, we cannot be the best firm.

7. We offer our people the opportunity to move ahead more rapidly than is possible at most other places. Advancement depends on merit and we have yet to find the limits to the responsibility our best people are able to assume.

8. We stress teamwork in everything we do while also encouraging individual creativity is always encouraged. We firmly believe that team effort often produces the best results and consider our clients both agencies and contractors, to be part of our team

9. We constantly strive to anticipate the rapidly changing needs of our clients and to develop new services to meet those needs.

10. We regularly receive confidential information as part of our normal client relationships. To breach a confidence or to use confidential information improperly or carelessly would be unthinkable.

11. Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our business. We expect our people to maintain high ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for the firm and in their personal lives.
