Balance
We understand the importance of and encourage a balance between professional, family, and personal life; and therefore, have instituted a policy of year-round flex time. Because the partners are committed to maintaining a friendly professional atmosphere and providing a balance with personal and family priorities, every summer we conduct a confidential survey of each of our accounting personnel in regard to our firm policies. The partners strongly consider the recommendations generated during the staff feedback process. Policy changes, like our sharp casual dress code and personal time off policies, are a direct result of staff feedback. Additionally, we believe in giving back to the community and continuously provide opportunities and assistance for our staff, and our firm as a whole, to get involved in community service and development projects. Many of our staff members serve on boards or committees throughout our community.
Making Work Fun
We enjoy rewarding our employees for their hard work and effort. Our in-office dress code is “Sharp Casual.” We save the suits for visits with clients.
We regularly celebrate our firm’s victories and achievements. Every year we have an “After Tax Day Off” to relax and celebrate another season of success. Our firm’s PEP Squad regularly organizes other events, both in and out of our offices, to benefit our employees and also their families. Some of the things we do include an annual holiday party, summer picnic, sporting event outings, and treating the office to ice cream.
The Right Tools
We are constantly updating our firm’s technology. Our firm is fully networked and all accounting staff are furnished with laptop computers. We have a spacious, smoke-free office, with a private work area for each staff member. We offer a defined curriculum of in-house and external CPE training customized to each professional’s current certification level and future development goals.
Getting Involved in the Firm
Our employees have many opportunities to work on teams with their coworkers and to become more involved with the inner workings of the firm. We encourage our staff to be on firm committees and to be involved in other firm efforts to ensure that their voices are heard and to help foster relationships among our team. A sampling of our firm committees includes the Policies and Procedures Committee, the Wellness Committee, the Service Committee, and the PEP Squad.
