McKonly & Asbury Named Best Accounting Firm to Work For in the U.S.

HARRISBURG, PA –Last year, McKonly & Asbury, LLP decided to try our hand at national recognition, after being named on the list of best medium-sized companies to work for in Pennsylvania.  We were honored when we found out we were named one of the Best Accounting Firms to Work For in the U.S. by Best Companies Group and Accounting Today - a leading industry publication. McKonly & Asbury is proud to announce that we have made this list again for 2009! The honor, judged and bestowed by the Best Companies Group, requires innovative approaches to managing the workplace and follows a similar scoring system to the Pennsylvania list.

With over 75% of the scoring for this award coming from a direct survey of all employees, accounting firms who achieve this honor must hold their employees as their most important asset.  McKonly & Asbury has participated in the Pennsylvania version of this awards program since 2003 and has been selected for six out of the past seven years. In this second year for the Accounting firm specific national list, we are honored to be selected once again. "This is a difficult economic environment for any business to manage through," said Terry Harris, Managing Partner.  "To be recognized on a national level among our accounting peers is an honor and a credit to our entire team."

We are fortunate to have some of the best and brightest talent in our industry working for us and we hope that this honor will continue to help us keep the high-caliber professionals our clients have come to know as part of the McKonly & Asbury team.

"Even in challenging times, we are striving to foster a culture of open communication and trust in our firm.  Service to our clients is our number one priority and by taking care of our most important asset, our people, our clients are served well by our talented professional team” said Harris.

This award program was designed to identify, recognize, and honor the best accounting firms to work for in the U.S.  The rankings will be published in the December 14, 2009 issue of Accounting Today.
