A culture of ownership, teamwork, meritocracy, growth and wellness

Our Culture

A Common Pursuit

We are deeply committed to reinvesting in our business, hiring and retaining highly qualified people, relentlessly striving for a values-driven employee culture, and continuing to augment our investment and operational strengths. To foster team spirit and client loyalty, we provide employee ownership opportunities. As a predominantly employee-owned firm, we remain focused on providing an exceptional experience for our clients and employees.

Employee Testimonials

Being surrounded by individuals who embody the IQ and EQ of this firm has really contributed to my personal and professional growth. I am proud to be a part of the team implementing our first firmwide training program, providing our new hires the tools for success.

Melody Qu, Associate Director

I feel very fortunate to work with such a talented group of individuals that work hard, play hard, and push each other to do their best every day. Our firm’s collaboration and innovation truly make us different, which will continue to drive our success going forward.

Sam Brumbaugh, Director

What I enjoy most about IEQ is developing meaningful, lasting relationships with our clients. Working in an environment where I feel like I am empowered to act in the clients' best interest is a true differentiator for our firm.

Kevin Burt, Director

Working at IEQ has allowed me to explore many parts of the wealth management business outside of my core role on research. I think this has not only helped my own professional development but also helped to enhance my work product by considering the interaction between all parts of our business.
