Five Halogen Software customers were recently named to Accounting Today’s 2012 list of the Best Accounting Firms to Work For. Published in the December issue of the magazine, the list is created annually by Accounting Today and Best Companies Group in order to identify and honor the best employers in the accounting industry.
The Halogen customers who received this employer of choice recognition include: Bernard Robinson & Company, LLP; Brown Smith Wallace, LLC; Katz, Abosch, Windesheim, Gershman & Freedman, P.A.; Lattimore Black Morgan & Cain, PC and Affiliates; and Vicenti, Lloyd & Stutzman.
“This is the third time in four years our firm has received this recognition from Accounting Today,” said Catherine Hentges, Director, Human Resources, Brown Smith Wallace, LLC. “We have a commitment to excellence that is ingrained in our culture and reinforced through our use of Halogen. The solution gives our employees visibility into our talent processes so they have a complete and accurate picture of their performance and that empowers them. Employees see they can make a measurable difference, which has helped our firm achieve this recognition.”
According to findings released in a recent report for Chartered Global Management Accountants (CGMAs) by the American Institute of CPAs and Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, ineffective talent management strategies are impacting the ability for CGMAs to meet performance targets and recruit and retain the best talent. Better alignment of their talent strategies to their business strategies can help CGMAs fully harness the skills of their people.1

“At Bernard Robinson & Company, we are CPAs and advisors with an unrelenting commitment to our clients, profession and community,” said Marsha Kunz, Director of Human Resources, Bernard Robinson & Company, LLP. “Since 1947, we have continued to cultivate a firm where excellence in all endeavors is celebrated. We are deeply committed to offering exceptional professional development and career progression opportunities to our 82 professionals and 46 CPAs — Halogen supports us by providing a strong platform for this process.
