Our partners maintain an open-door policy and are always available to answer questions.

Beyond the one-on-one attention you’ll receive from our partners, you will also spend time engaging directly with the firm’s clients. Our team members, on all levels, participate in on-site client visits and meet with clients face-to-face, exposing you to a world outside of e-mail and telephone.

Quality of life

At RyanSharkey, we not only encourage our people to maintain a high level of collaboration and communication with their co-workers, but we also want them to get to know one another on a more personal level. As a result, we regularly sponsor team building exercises and firm outings to help build camaraderie among our team. Here we take pride in the friendships developed throughout the office, as well as the fun we have as a group. In addition, we frequently give back to the Reston and surrounding communities through charitable activities, because we know and appreciate the integral role the community plays in our firm’s success. Here are just a few of the activities RyanSharkey sponsors for our team members:

• Softball leagues
• Summer picnics
• Holiday parties
• Bowling

Although we work hard, quality of life is a top priority and is promoted throughout the year. We strive to help our team members enjoy a fulfilling and rewarding career while continuously emphasizing the value of maintaining active family lives, developing personal interests and getting involved in the community.
