I am so excited to have the President and CEO, Rick Mastrocola and Managing Director Jamie Tong-Chow from Tonneson and Company as our guests, to give us an inside scope of a medium size firm, and how they nurture their talents and culture.  Culture is one of those things that you just tell people about, and they’ll come - it doesn’t require a lot of selling, it just attracts the RIGHT people to come. Tonneson has been around for 46 years since 1975.  I am always inspired to hear the hero journey of how companies started from zero to where they are.  Tonneson is not your traditional accounting firm for just audit, tax and advisory services, they are best known for their entrepreneurial, innovative and forward thinking approach in business.  And, the company was also named to Accounting Today‘s Best Accounting Firms to Work For for 4 consecutive years!  Enjoy the episode to learn how an inclusive culture enables a diverse workplace to thrive.
