Garrety & Associates, Certified Public Accountants - Baton Rouge, La

Garrety & Associates is a place where people reconcile their personal and professional lives and where diverse abilities complement and strengthen each other.

Our story began while Bryon Garrety was working for the IRS. There he saw first hand how bad advice and uncaring attitudes can destroy people’s lives. The idea of treating clients with respect and providing excellent service carried Bryon into public practice. Working for someone else’s business allowed him to serve clients, but he was appalled by certain business practices. Employees’ individual growth was not encouraged and the owners viewed clients in terms of dollars, not as people. The vision of these owners was in sharp contrast with Bryon’s vision of how employees and clients should be treated.

My company, Garrety and Associates, strives to ensure that all clients and employees are respected, valued and heard. We recognize that without great clients and great employees we do not exist. If you are a client, we want you to feel as if you’re our only client. If you are an employee, we want you to feel as if you are an owner or stakeholder in the company.

As a company we use our education, resources, and training to provide high quality premium services and support to our clients for a reasonable price. In turn, our clients happily compensate us for our services because they value competent advice that does not lose sight of them and the things going on in their lives.

As an employer we encourage and compensate employees for their hard work, dedication and loyalty. We do not impose an artificial limit on advancement or on salary. The market, effort, and results allow each person to attain the appropriate salary and position in our company. As employers we open doors to further education, experience, and technology which assists motivated employees with their goals. Best of all, we do not have the normal accounting firm atmosphere. We celebrate both professional and personal achievements of our staff and customers, and occasionally we take a field trip to just have fun and socialize with each other. We generously participate in charity events and we give our time collectively to good causes. This outreach allows us to give back to the community as a group.

We know the success of our company will ultimately be measured by the success of both our clients and our employees.
