- So you were working at another firm before coming to Nisivoccia, why did you decide to come work for the firm?

- I worked for my previous firm for 5 years and then I saw an opening here and I knew that this was a great firm, I had heard great things about it.

- So why do you like working at the firm?

- I love working at the firm mostly because of the people. So you do develop a lot of relationships that develop in the office and then translate to you know, outside of the office as well.

- I feel that everybody was so nice and kind when I started, and they really tried to help me.

- One thing that's great about Nisivoccia is they're family first. I have a growing family, I have 4 sons at home. The partners and management is very flexible. As long as I get my work done, get my hours in they're very accommodating of that.

- What do you think the benefits of working for a smaller firm are?

- So from the commercial audit side, you get to see all aspects of an audit which you won't be able to do in a larger firm. You get the planning, the testing financing preparation and you're typically at a different client every week in a different industry and you're working with everybody from the CEO down to the controller or even the bookkeeper.

- Wow.

- So you get very well rounded working with many different people throughout the organization.

- I would say that just how accessible all the partners are. I can go and I know their doors are always open.

- Yep.

- I can talk to them about anything.

- How do you think you've developed from your intern days?

- There's actually several partners here who started as interns. I started here in 2006 as an intern, I interned here for 3 years. I'm currently a manager at the firm. They offer programs for CPE, team education, professional and personal development.

- They really, again put a lot of emphasis on your success.

- However far I wanna go, I know that I have people there behind me, supporting me, encouraging me and just doing whatever they can to make sure I'm successful.

- I've been able to get my CPA license, move into more of a managerial role. It's a good growth.

- What's your schedule like, your busy season, during audit season.

- So we technically have two busy seasons. We get busy from about the beginning of February through the middle of April, then we have another busy season from August through about October.

- We're busy year round, we have a couple breaks in there.

- Thank goodness.

- But we're constantly cranking out audits.

- What's your schedule like during tax season?

- We start to get busy mid-January, January and February we're working on a lot of our business clients. Closing their books and doing tax returns and then March and April is really where we're focusing on our individual clients, doing tax returns.

- Can you tell me about the people here at Nisivoccia?

- The people are just so kind and management is always willing to help you for the succeed.

- It's a big enough firm, where you get to work with a lot of different people.

- Right.

- But you basically know everyone at the firm.

- Here, you're not just a number. They care, they care about what's going on.

- We celebrate each other so much. whether it's promotions, babies, engagements.

- Yeah, that's it, I mean we're treated like family.

- The people that we work for here, they put your needs first and obviously your family needs first.

- You know it's a great, great environment.
