Why I Enjoy Working Here

Before entering public accounting I worked in private industry and the government. I wanted the intellectual stimulation of working around bright people, so I joined a Big 8 firm. Then I wanted that same stimulation in a more positive environment with greater opportunity, so I joined Stonefield. Been at it 35 years and it is still fun.
