Putting culture first.
Our culture is rooted in our values, which define who we are as a firm.
Excellence
We are uncompromising in our commitment to professional excellence and continuous improvement.
Mutual respect
We strive to show a deep respect for everyone with whom we interact.
Integrity
We believe any enduring relationship must be anchored by a shared belief in doing the right thing.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
We encourage all employees to possess the same entrepreneurial spirit on which our firm was founded.
Driven by excellence; fueled by Fundamentals.
Balentine has developed an inventory of 30 Fundamentals that serve as the foundation of everyday employee life and the backbone of our client service philosophy at the firm. We call these Fundamentals the Balentine Way. Each week, a different Fundamental is highlighted, and serves as a source of inspiration in everything from email topics to pre-meeting discussion and internal gatherings among staff. Here are some of our favorite Fundamentals of note, as described by members of the Balentine team.

We value diversity and inclusion.
Balentine is committed to engaging in diverse hiring practices and ensuring that our firm is a great place to work for everyone. We recognize the fundamental value of our differences, which strengthen our ability to achieve our strategic vision and help us continually improve our organization.
Our commitment to a workplace of shared experiences and perspectives is more than a mission; it’s a mindset that promotes excellence, innovation, and social responsibility.
It pays to invest in our communities.
Since founding Balentine & Company in 1987 and continuing as Balentine today, we have been active and involved in our communities, maintaining a firm belief in giving back.
We aim to provide resources to fortify the causes our employees and clients are passionate about to affect change. Balentine encourages in any way possible for our team to be part of the community and to take leadership roles if they have that opportunity, too.
As a result, every member of our team is engaged in giving back so that our time, talent, and resources can help improve our local communities.
The Balentine Way is woven into the fabric of our firm.
In 2023, we sought to elevate both client and employee experiences. We believe our success, evident in feedback from clients, accolades from our industry and community, and the growth of our team, is rooted in six of our fundamentals.
