Advocating the "one firm" concept in serving their clients, CPA firm Barfield, Murphy, Shank & Smith, founded in 1991 and now with 97 employees, provides a broad base of services to clients that include closely-held companies, entrepreneurs and nonprofits to meet their auditing, tax, merger and acquisition, business valuation and management consulting needs. The firm was established by three young professionals who sought to maintain career development and well-balanced lives outside work. Thus the company's core values remain Family, Work/Life Balance, Character and Treating Everyone Professionally. During the busy season, onsite childcare and massages are provided, and a full-time concierge is available to take the stress and time out of running errands. Taskforces operate as a result of inter-generational workforce training, with distinct committees responsible for everything from career path planning to mentoring and employee feedback. Above all, an employee's entire family is seen as part of the organization. Flexible work arrangements and everything from letters of welcome to spouses when their partners are first employed by company, to an abundance of wedding showers, baby showers and celebrations show that, indeed, this CPA firm is something special.
