Meet Shan Hou

After six years of working for two Big Four firms, I was burned out. I'd spent years working weekends and holidays, and I missed my life. I was seeking a better work/life balance, yet an environment in which I could continue growing my career.

I found DZH Phillips through a colleague, who happened to mention how much she enjoyed her job and the company for whom she worked. I'll admit that as I investigated the opportunities at DZH Phillips, I was worried. Would I still be dealing with major clients? Would the atmosphere be as vibrant? I decided to make a leap of faith, and I've never looked back. Within just a few months, I realized that accepting a position with DZH Phillips was one of the best decisions I'd ever made.

Soon after starting with DZH Phillips, I was assigned to several large privately held clients. The work was just as interesting and challenging as it had been in my former firms. What's more, I found that my colleagues were friendly and collegial, rather than competitive. They're all highly skilled professionals with whom I truly enjoy working.

At DZH Phillips, I've gained the kind of experience I've been looking for in an environment I love. I’m confident that the knowledge I've gained here will take me further in my career than I thought possible.

"The DZH Phillips partners and managers have helped me to advance in my career more rapidly than would have been possible in another firm. They are really committed to the junior staff and their progress. "
