In 1968, when I began what has now become Jim Murphy & Associates, I felt that my commitment to serving my customers went beyond just a professional or a moral obligation. I believed then, as I do today, that this business is my calling and that my responsibility to my customers is best described as stewardship. Today, Jim Murphy & Associates includes over 60 men and women, all of whom share in this commitment. To us, stewardship means that when we undertake a project, we accept not just the responsibility to execute our work in the best way we know how, we search for ways to do more than that. How does this apply to those we work with? Stewardship means listening to more than just the words that our clients speak - trying to hear feelings and reasons behind the words. Stewardship means treating the client's money with more care than we apply even to our own. Even frugal individuals can chose to indulge a whim. A true steward will not. Stewardship means approaching each task with humility that comes from knowing that in any given circumstance, someone else knows more or has better answers than you do. Finally, Stewardship means - quite simply - placing the needs of others before our own. We invite you to get to know us by reading our Project Stories. Once you've had a chance to read them, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
