Fair Winds and Calm Seas

It’s a Thursday morning in Gig Harbor, and that means one thing: The investment advisers and associates at the Threshold Group are wearing jeans. But for the right to wear denim, these rebels have each donated a sum of money which will be matched by the investment advisory firm and given to charitable causes in the Puget Sound region.

“Jeans Day” is just one way that the employees and management of this elite firm give back to their community. Founded in 2004 by investment gurus George and Jane Russell, the Threshold Group often ranks among the region’s best places to work. And with an on-site marina, a jaw-dropping building set on the shores of Gig Harbor, and an unprecedented amount of support and freedom offered from the top tier, it’s no surprise.

The Threshold Group provides advisory services to families of very high net worth. But it also gives nearly as many services and benefits to its 26 employees, who are the firm’s most prized assets. Every effort is made to foster their growth—be it professional, personal, physical or spiritual.

Each January, every associate spells out his or her goals for the year to management and decides which professional development courses to take and which conferences to attend. Employees can telecommute when needed and adapt work schedules to their personal needs—be it a new child, a health condition or any significant commitment.

At the Threshold Group, growth is the goal: growth for clients, for employees and for the whole. That goal is met every day, and the results are impressive.
