We are thrilled to announce that ML&R has been recognized as the #5 Best Firm for Young Accountants in 2024 by Accounting Today. This prestigious accolade underscores our commitment to fostering a supportive and enriching environment for young professionals in the accounting industry.
Each year, Accounting Today, in collaboration with Best Companies Group, evaluates the top 100 accounting firms to work for in the United States. From this list, they select the 10 Best Firms for Young Accountants, based on comprehensive employee surveys focusing on factors such as trust, flexibility, mentorship, career growth opportunities, and work-life balance.
“We’re flexible. We’re very employee-friendly. By flexible, I mean in terms of working hours — where you work, how you work, that type of thing. Friendly, meaning we want you to live life outside of the office. At ML&R, we believe that no success at work is worth failure at home, and we encourage our team to define what that balance looks like for them,” said Kyle Parks, Leading Partner
This recognition reflects our firm’s dedication to developing young professionals, ensuring they have the resources, guidance, and support needed to excel in their careers. Our workplace culture goes beyond just offering great benefits and career development. At ML&R, our team truly cares about one another.
“We genuinely care about one another. We care about each other as employees and coworkers, but more importantly, we care about each other as people,” said Sarah Holcombe, Chief People Officer
This award reinforces our commitment to nurturing talent, helping young accountants build successful careers in public accounting while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
