Steve Austin, managing partner of Swenson Advisors LLP, believes attaining the highest standards of ethics begins with a “tone at the top” that ultimately guides the entire organization. He places a premium on personal and professional integrity and forthright business practices, which he said attracts like-minded employees and clients who subscribe to the same values.
Austin, a family man with strong convictions, started the San Diego-based, full-service accounting firm in 1998. Now, with offices in Murrieta and Hong Kong, Swenson has grown into a regional firm with global reach.
