Windham Brannon New Space

Customer focus: Getting space, partnership right

Windham Brannon Heidi LaMarca

When Windham Brannon, LLC, an international accounting firm based in Atlanta, renewed its headquarters lease in Buckhead and consolidated two floors into one, the firm's leaders recognized that a redesign of the 28,259 sq. ft. space was on the horizon.


“We have several banking relationships, but decided to go with Hyperion (to finance this project),” says Heidi LaMarca, CEO and Managing Partner of Windham Brannon. “Amy and Charlie were a pleasure to work with and made the process really easy, starting by talking through what we wanted and needed and holding our hand the whole way.”


Windham Brannon’s existing relationship with Hyperion included deposits, which were expanded in the lending process. The two firms also had enjoyed cross-referrals and helpful back-forth assists through the years, so a lending partnership came pretty naturally, says Hyperion’s Amy Ellis, SVP Commercial Lending.


LaMarca says having a strong financing partner was especially important because the project was primarily overseen remotely, while most employees were still at home post-pandemic. “They helped make sure that we crossed all of the t’s and dotted the i’s,” she says, “so we had a beautiful space for employees to come back to.”


A recognized leader in advisory, audit and tax services for businesses and high net-worth individuals nationally and globally, Windham Brannon is nationally ranked as one of Inside Public Accounting’s Top 200 firms and Accounting Today’s Top Southeast firms. Some 200 employees work from the firm’s headquarters in Buckhead, while other employees work from offices in Chattanooga and Mumbai. Additionally, Windham Brannon has many remote employees from various locations across the United States. 


“We’re always happy to help new or existing customers with real estate purchases, tenant improvements and other scenarios that help optimize their businesses,” Ellis says, “and that’s especially so as the office climate continues to evolve. Sometimes the starting point is just conferring about what they do and don’t want and exploring the possibilities.”


LaMarca specifically noted that a rare and wonderful aspect of the project was its completion on time and under budget.


“Having Hyperion help us in the middle market was a very good and very helpful partnership,” LaMarca says. “They really made it easy, and this was a big spend for us. We were excited to do this project and glad we chose Hyperion. Our place is done, and it is spectacular.”


With the Buckhead office complete, the future looks bright as Windham Brannon and Hyperion are now discussing possible financing for the firm’s Chattanooga office

Fast 50 Montage

Fast 50 – Thank you for growing with us!

We previously shared that Hyperion Bank is among the Philadelphia Business Journal's “Fast 50” – for the 5th year in a row! – ranking the Greater Philly region’s fastest-growing businesses. In last Sept. we got to enjoy celebrating with fellow honorees and learned our specific rank within the 50.


Hyperion is #25 on the list, with a 41.66% increase in revenue over the past two years. And we were the only bank to make the ranking. As Hyperion’s Nicole Leitz put it, Not bad for #CommunityBankers!


You’ll see Nicole pictured with Hyperion’s Charlie Crawford and David Lasus, CEO of Heart + Paw (which ranked #17 and is a Hyperion neighbor). Also, Nicole is shown with Adam Peltzman, CEO of Health and Benefits Partners (#35); the two are colleagues in a ProVisors chapter. A great crew from the bank helped us celebrate: Charlie, Lou DeCesare, Frank Sullivan, Ryan Sullivan, Lee Green, Ka’Rin Smith, Bridget Jungblut and Brian McNulty.


This recognition comes on the heels of Hyperion’s inclusion in the 2024 Inc. 5000. Thanks again to our customers, team members & business partners who make this smart growth possible.

Team Hyperion turned out last week for the Education Law Center’s 49th Anniversary Dinner. Hyperion’s Nicole Leitz & Charlie Crawford joined Gretchen Santamour, a Partner in Philadelphia law firm Stradley Ronon and a member of Hyperion’s Board of Directors, along with Gretchen’s husband. Gretchen served on the Board of ELC for 10 years and is a past chair. Charlie is pictured with Emily Hawkins of Align Partners. Another photo shows Gretchen & Charlie. Also pictured are Gretchen, Charlie & Nicole.


Hyperion sponsored the event as an Education Partner of the Center, a not-for-profit law center that advocates for the rights of public school students. In 2022, the Law Center feted Gretchen for her remarkable service. To support the Education Law Center’s work, visit its website, subscribe to its newsletter & follow ELC on Twitter or Facebook.

A longtime champion of community banking, Charlie was previously PACB Vice Chair, served on its Diversity Task Force & was PACB’s 2022 Banker of the Year. (Charlie also serves on the board of the Community Bankers Association of Georgia.)


“I take seriously the opportunity PACB members have given me to serve them – and our industry – in the coming year,” Charlie says. “I would like to thank the Board, team members and shareholders of Hyperion Bank for understanding the crucial role PACB plays in our industry. They know that when I take on an assignment like this, they’re taking it on with me, and they always say Yes!”


Congratulations, Charlie – and all of the other outgoing and incoming leaders!

Fall Back 2024

Calendar: Daylight Savings Time

Daylight Saving Time: FALL BACK one hour before going to bed Sat, Nov 2, and enjoy more light in the morning.


The time change is a good reminder to replace the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and to test fire extinguishers.

Interest Rates

Rate activity and what it may mean...


Hyperion’s Charlie Crawford reacts to the Federal Reserve Bank concluding its Sept. 18 Federal Open Market Committee meeting by announcing a half point rate cut, bringing its target range to 4.75% to 5.00%: “This rate reduction is welcomed news to borrowers, while depositors will be less excited as the yield on interest bearing accounts will likely drop as well,” Charlie says. “It is nice to see the Federal Reserve shifting direction and providing a less restrictive monetary policy.”


You may have heard Realtors say, “date the rate, marry the house.” They simply mean buyers should focus on finding the right home they love and can afford, rather than putting undue emphasis on mortgage interest rates, as interest rates can be temporary and change over time. This mindset – which may not be a fit for everyone – emphasizes that a buyer can “break up” with their mortgage rate by refinancing later, but the house itself is a long-term decision.
