Anders + Summit: A Merger Story

When we visited their headquarters, Robert Minkler met with us. He explained his theory is to bring good people in, let them do what they do and get out of their way. I really liked that, and it helped me feel more at ease. I also saw that Anders has gone to great lengths to make their work environment welcoming and a place people want to be.”

IN THE TEAMS’ WORDS

I was glad the Summit team had the opportunity to visit the Anders offices in St. Louis. Going into that trip, one thing on my radar was the culture. So when we played dodgeball with zombies in a high-rise hotel on our first night, that solidified it for me! Joking aside, I could immediately tell that, culturally, our teams were a good match. As the merger became final and we began to unpack the pros and cons, what we were gaining was far better than what we were giving up.”

I went into the dinner with the Summit team picturing that I’d meet two individuals (both in suits) who would be a little stuffy and maybe a bit boring, as accountants tend to be. This couldn’t have been further from the truth! Jody came dressed in his typical Hawaiian shirt, and Adam was decked out in a t-shirt. Both were down to earth. After dinner, we all went to a local arcade (where I beat Adam in ping pong).”
