BEST COMPANIES

At Ansley Park Capital, excellence is a daily discipline reinforced through action, accountability and trust. In just its second year as an affiliated portfolio company of certain Ares Alternative Credit funds, the firm has achieved the rare feat of building a culture strong enough to be recognized as award-winning two years in a row. Leadership views this environment as a true competitive advantage that allows the firm to win for both its customers and its employees.

This cultural foundation is rooted in intentional hiring and sustained through radical transparency. A defining moment for the firm occurred during a complex M&A process. By maintaining frequent, honest communication — acknowledging what was known and what was not — leadership ensured that the 30-person team remained engaged and informed. The result was perfect employee retention throughout the transition, a testament to a team that rallied around a shared mission.

Empowerment is another hallmark of the Ansley Park Capital environment. Employees are encouraged to take ownership of decisions and propose better ways of doing things, regardless of their title. The company embraces a commitment to getting “1% better every day,” treating mistakes as learning opportunities rather than failures to be punished.

As Eric Miller, president and CEO, explains: “A winning culture doesn’t happen by accident. You must hire with intention, communicate with transparency — especially when it’s uncomfortable — and consistently put your people first. If you do that, the results take care of themselves.”

These internal strengths power Ansley Park Capital’s professional success as a leading specialty finance platform. The firm delivers flexible, customized financing for large-ticket equipment across various industries, utilizing the creativity of a highly experienced team with unmatched industry access.

By striving to deeply understand each customer and underwriting their unique circumstances with care, Ansley Park Capital provides the tailored solutions businesses need to grow. 

Ultimately, by living its culture authentically, the firm ensures its team is uniquely equipped to provide the responsiveness that sets it apart in the specialty finance sector.
