In Connecticut, there is. Meet The Accounting Crows, billed as “Connecticut’s only CPA rock ‘n roll band.” Consisting of CPAs Alan Friedman, Mike Fortunato and Reed Risteen and Connecticut Society of CPAs Public Affairs Director Mark Zampino, the Crows “rock, they roll, they audit, they do taxes, and they’ll even play your next party, business function, wedding, bar mitzvah or IRS audit,” according to their Web site.
