Accountants Just Want to Have Fun... on the Subway and Streets of New York
Innovative CPA firm WithumSmith+Brown isn't resting on its laurels. After creating what might be the world's first entertaining music video about accountants last year to the tune of Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling," the firm has chosen to kick off tax season with its 2012 State of the Firm Flash Mob video demonstrating that this looks like the most fun place to work in the profession. Managing Partner and CEO Bill Hagaman seems to be the aberration: an accountant without inhibitions. The firm uses its videos to help with recruiting efforts, but the impact goes way beyond new-hires. Certainly clients must be proud to be associated with a firm that works together so well.
