Employee Spotlight

Why is giving back to the community important to you?

Giving back to the community is important to me because I think we are put on Earth to help one another. It brings me joy that I can make a difference in someone’s life!

What’s something about you that not many people know?

Something not many people know about me is that I lived in Worcester, England for four months during college! My favorite place I visited while I was there was Edinburgh, Scotland at Christmastime.

What advice would you give to someone who wants to enter the public accounting industry?

I have two pieces of advice: 

1. Choose the firm you want to work at carefully! Make sure you align on your ideas of work-life balance and what you want out of your public accounting experience. 
2. Don’t be afraid to try new things and keep an open mind. You’ll be surprised at what you might like versus what you thought you would like.

What is your favorite Boyer & Ritter perk?

My favorite Boyer & Ritter perk is the work-life balance. They acknowledge and appreciate the hard work everyone puts in during tax season and they stress the importance of having a balance between working and your personal life. I also love the flexibility of being able to work from home or in the office!
