At Withum, a top-ranked advisory, tax and accounting firm with roots in New Jersey, community involvement is more than a practice; it’s a fundamental value. A core pillar of Withum’s culture is giving back to the communities in which team members live and work.
“Giving back isn’t just something we do; it’s who we are,” said Alexis Blacknik, Senior Marketing Coordinator. “We see the value in strengthening our communities, and we’re empowered to make a difference.”
This commitment is evident in the firm’s extensive volunteer efforts. In 2024 alone, Withum team members dedicated more than 8,000 hours to volunteer work. This included participation in the annual Withum Week of Caring leading up to Thanksgiving, Intern Days of Giving and countless individual and team-based initiatives. From volunteering at local food banks, participating in outdoor cleanups, assisting with school activities, and honoring veterans, Withum’s team members positively impacted more than 500 organizations last year. Withum aims to foster a team of innovators who service clients and their community with unwavering integrity by unlocking the collective power of people.
“Whether it’s a large-scale project or a small, personal act of kindness, we encourage our team to find ways to support the causes they care about,” added Blacknik.
Beyond community service, Withum fosters an inclusive workplace. The Women of Withum (WOW) initiative empowers female professionals in a traditionally male-dominated field, hosting events like Galentine’s Day potlucks and Mother’s Day Paint & Sips, focusing on both professional development and personal connection. Joint events like the Middlesex County Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Oktoberfest provide networking opportunities, particularly for emerging professionals, helping them hone soft skills and build connections. The firm’s hybrid work model, with three days in the office, ensures a balance between flexibility and in-person collaboration. It’s through this combination of entrepreneurial energy and inclusive teamwork that Withum is able to deliver exponential results.
Being a member of the MCRCC has been a great way for Withum to connect with Middlesex County, providing opportunities to foster valuable relationships and contribute to the region’s growth.
“Withum’s partnership is more than just sponsorship – it’s about genuine engagement. Their dedication to events like Oktoberfest, the Largest Networking Party and the Women’s Leadership Summit demonstrates their investment to the community,” said MCRCC President Lina Llona.
That kind of engagement doesn’t end during tax season. Withum focuses on boosting morale through office events like Super Bowl parties (with a strong contingent of Philly fans) and team lunches to celebrate the start of baseball season.
In today’s political and economic landscape, Withum positions itself as a trusted advisor. With potential changes in tax legislation and tariffs, Withum’s team is prepared to provide recommendations and navigate the complexities of these evolving regulations, ensuring clients are well informed and prepared for the future. Withum’s talented accounting and advisory professionals add value to every relationship with a dynamic approach to problem-solving. That’s the Power in the Plus.
