Accordion's Core Values
Challenge convention.
We take risks, make bold decisions, and bring a fresh way of thinking to our work.

Think like an owner.
We care deeply, act with agility, and always go the extra mile.
Pictured here: “Each and every one of you has a role to play in Accordion’s growth story. I’m counting on you to make your mark on this firm’s future.” These words from Nick’s speech (delivered at our 2019 Company Offsite) are more than a rallying cry; we’re constantly empowered to translate them into action.
Partner with authenticity.
We are human, expect transparency, and appreciate humility.
Pictured here: At Accordion, we strive to create a “better way to work in finance” and to us, that means taking our work seriously, but not ourselves. Being yourself is encouraged, which makes us genuinely enjoy being around one another.
Coach and be coached.
We lead when we can, teach what we know, and learn what we don’t.

Pivot and persevere.
We defy unnecessary structure, figure things out on the fly, and refuse to settle.
