Joey Richard, New Orleans office director, says the firm provides study materials for the certified public accountant exam and at least 64 hours of paid learning time during summer months. “Employees can prepare for the CPA test on us,” he said, and staff members who pass the exam receive an immediate 4 percent raise and a $2,000 bonus. The company also rewards its employees with annual bonuses based on monetary and professional accomplishments. Workers can also receive a $3,000 to $5,000 bonus for referring a new employee to the firm. Richard said the company’s clients are diverse, from privately held and public companies to nonprofits and individuals in the Louisiana-Texas region and beyond. Employees visiting clients have the chance to travel throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and China for audits and tax planning, he said. The firm also conducts business-process reviews and provides technology consulting and litigation support. Senior auditor Hayley Morgan said she likes so many things about her job that she barely knows where to begin. “Our office is friendly, and I’ve developed many personal relationships here, though we know how to separate them from our professional duties,” Morgan said. “I’ve learned a great deal from our clients about the industries they’re in, and am grateful for that exposure.” Morgan said she enjoys participating in the firm’s community projects, such as the annual Odyssey Ball silent auction at the New Orleans Museum of Art.

The company held a team-building event earlier this year in which employees competed in contests such as office chair relay races, Wii Bowling and mind gymnastics. more than 10 major charitable events a year, including a Louisiana Children’s Museum fundraiser and a walk for the American Lung Association. It also sponsors food drives and disaster-recovery initiatives. Staci Ritchie, a senior auditor in Metairie, said she appreciates the firm’s sense of teamwork and the ability of colleagues to tackle challenges together. “We had an Office Olympics this year to see who could make the longest paper-clip chain, throw balled paper in small holes, run a course with a ball on a spoon and pin a tail on a boss,” she said. “We watched our co-workers do awkward, funny things here in the office and our directors take cues from the staff. And we got to know each other even better.” The company has many employees who have stayed 25 to 30 years, marketing manager Rachael Higginbotham said. The Metairie office, she said, is like the city of New Orleans — a melting pot of nearly 80 employees providing numerous services to varied industries. One nice perk, she said, is that the office works half days on Friday in the steamy month of July. “The (company) culture is very welcoming and accommodating. It helps people make the most of their careers,” Higginbotham said. “They focus on people’s personal goals, and they genuinely care about their employees.”• — Susan Buchanan 34 2009 Best Places to Work
