Maryland CPA firms were well represented in the 2016 ‘Best Firms to Work For’ list, published at the end of October by AccountingToday. In fact, 10 of the Top 100 firms in the ‘Best Firms to Work For’ list, hail from Maryland.
“We are proud to see ten Maryland firms recognized in AccountingToday’s 2016 Best Firms to Work For list,” said MACPA CEO, Tom Hood. “Given the level of professionalism, dedication to talent development and engagement by our MACPA members, it is not surprising to see firms from Maryland with such a high representation in the “Best Firms’ list.”
Hood added, “We are especially gratified to note that 8 out of the 10 Maryland firms are 100% member firms in the MACPA, strongly supporting their staff through our professional development, advocacy, and networking opportunities.” (For information on MACPA membership for individuals and the benefits of 100% membership information for firms, visit macpa.org; use our online chat function to send questions to our member service center.)
