Connect with Your Future

Giving back to the communities where we work and live around the world is in our DNA. Our Corporate Philanthropy team is made up of a dedicated group of employees who help support our philanthropy partners with the amazing work they do. And our employees around the world are the positive energy that fuels and supports all the important projects that make a direct impact on our communities! Below are the organizations we support directly:

• The Patriot Foundation: Since 2003 this fine organization has focused on providing scholarships and aid for children of soldiers who were killed or injured from Fort Bragg.
• Breastcancer.org: Breastcancer.org was created in 2000 to address the need for accessible, understandable, and compassionate information about breast cancer diagnosis and treatment issues.
• The American Heart Association: This organization is the oldest, largest voluntary organization devoted to fighting cardiovascular disease.
• Big Brothers/Big Sisters: Big Brothers Big Sisters makes meaningful, monitored matches between adult volunteers (“Bigs”) and children (“Littles”), ages 6 through 18, in communities across the globe to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentoring relationships that change their lives for the better, forever.
• American Red Cross: Red Cross volunteers and staff work to deliver vital services – from providing relief and support to those in crisis, to helping people be prepared to respond in emergencies.

The philanthropy program also provides an employee matching donation, and each year we have a Global Day of Service where every employee around the world – over 1,000 people – volunteer in their communities on the same day. From our team in London to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and all our global locations in between, we’ve heard it said by many employees that its now their favorite day of the year!

Our employees enjoy the opportunity to initiate grass roots efforts to support organizations through our Community Connections program. They have ranged from the Red Cross to Alex’s Lemonade Stand to the Working Wardrobe. This team also leads many of the fun activities that take place at Vertex.

The Vertex Wellness Program is designed to help employees make lifestyle changes that can lead to better health. The program combines activities and educational opportunities focused on some of the key points of healthy living: preventative care, increased physical activity, improved eating habits, and healthy eating. 

Vertex also offers a Global Employee Assistance Program in partnership with SupportLinc. This program is designed to help employees and their families address a range of topics and issues—including health & wellness, emotional well-being, family and caregiving, and other everyday work/life resources. 

When we say Values, we mean the fundamental beliefs that form the essence of our organization's philosophy. Our values are founded in a commitment to, and respect for, people – we:

• create a collaborative work environment

• deliver outstanding performance

• act with integrity

• embrace innovation in the pursuit of continuous improvement

• always strive to understand our customers

• thrive on having a friendly and fun work environment!

Company culture can be defined as “the way that you get work done.” The way that we get work done here is purpose-driven, collaborative, customer-centric, and is grounded in treating each other with respect.

From that keystone foundation, we enjoy working on productive teams and thrive on having a friendly and fun work environment. It’s one of the reasons we were named a Top Workplace in Philadelphia for the past six years. Ask anyone who finished their first day here why they like it, and what they’ll probably say is “everyone is so friendly!”

Ours is a unique workplace centered around the belief that if people are treated with respect, enjoy their work, and have fun while doing it, our customers will benefit. Over 40 years of continuous growth seems to support that belief!

Below are just a few of the awards we have been honored to receive over the past few years:

• Top Workplace by the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 & 2022
• 2016 Working Mother Best Company
• 2015 Corporate Culture Award
• America’s ITR Tax Technology Award
