Flatter, Inc. has reached an exciting milestone as the company celebrates 20 years in business! Every day, members of our team commit themselves to our motto, “Excellence is our Baseline,” in order to meet clients’ needs and ensure mission success. Since 2002, Flatter has maintained tremendous growth and positive relationships with clients as well as a high quality of work and service. We have achieved our growth through commitment to excellence, strong client relationships, and a determined team.
In January, 2002, Flatter, Inc. was founded by J.R. and Alicia Flatter as “Flatter & Associates” with a 90-Day contract with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) as J.R. was retiring from a 21-year career in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) in a post 9/11 world with a stark focus on anti-terrorism missions.
In February 2002, Flatter was incorporated in the State of Virginia. In 2017, we shortened our name and website domain to “Flatter, Inc.” Since our first one-man contract in 2002, Flatter has enjoyed growth and significant change over our 20 year history, but the symbolism behind the blue rings in our logo, which symbolize Strategy, Processes, People, and Technology, have remained steadfast since our inception and are core to our success.
Our company’s service offerings have adapted in response to the ever-evolving needs of our Federal Government clients to include the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, and other civilian agencies.
J.R. serves today as Flatter’s President and Chief learning Officer. On Friday, 18 February 2022, he reflected on 20 years in business saying, “I am grateful to be surrounded by such a diverse and talented team. I remember when I retired from the Marine Corps I was offered a position, which I later found out was contingent upon contract award, and instead decided to go into business. I am grateful every day for having made that decision and look forward to 20 more years of service.”
We are so thankful for the longevity of the business so far and grateful for those that have worked with us throughout the past 20 years! Here’s to many more years of service in the future!
