Greetings.
I’m Barry Salzberg, the CEO of Deloitte U.S.A.—a place of opportunity, whether you’re a potential client, or a potential employee.
Consider my own story.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn. I was educated there, too, with a degree in accounting from Brooklyn College and a degree in law from Brooklyn Law School.
Deloitte was my first professional job. And when I started in 1977, I thought I might stay… um, maybe a year or two. Yet here I am, some eight jobs and almost 32 years later—running the place. And why I stayed is precisely because of what Deloitte offers—an opportunity culture, in which everyone has a shot.
Today, here in the U.S., we have some 45,000 professionals, who are part of a global network of 165,000 people working in member firms around the world.
And our job? We help organizations solve their toughest problems. And we help them solve them seamlessly and globally…whenever…however…wherever. Specifically, we offer cutting-edge services and expertise—and industry knowledge—in four key business areas:
- Audit and advisory services
- Financial advisory services
- Tax services
- And Consulting services
At Deloitte, people from all kinds of backgrounds find a people culture in which they have the freedom and flexibility to grow. Not only in their careers but in other areas of life. Here people also can be proud to work for a leading corporate citizen committed to our local communities and the environment.
No wonder Deloitte is regularly ranked in Fortune, BusinessWeek and Working Mother as one of the best places to work and start a career. It’s a testament to our collaborative culture that respects diversity and celebrates achievement.
So, now for the big question: What’s different about us? It’s this: We offer more than just smart advice. At Deloitte, we pride ourselves on helping clients EXECUTE on our advice. We make it happen. Time after time.
And we never forget we’re in the TALENT business. People are our most precious asset, and it is their passion that lies at the heart of our commitment to always be a step ahead…by delivering three critical qualities:
- The ability to ANTICIPATE—to see tomorrow’s needs today.
- The ability to be PRAGMATIC—to see things through to completion.
- And we’re RELENTLESS―driven to be the very best, today and tomorrow.
So, if you’re looking for great services—or looking for a career—take it from me. Deloitte offers a whole world of possibilities.
Almost limitless possibilities.
All around the world.
Thanks for listening.
