My experience at KEY has been excellent. Having spent over six years at a larger regional accounting firm, I was limited on what I was allowed to learn. Upon arriving at Key & Associates, P.C., I was afforded the opportunity to work on a variety of engagements, such as Overhead Rate Audits, Reviews, Compilations and Government Contracts.
More importantly, in addition to the experience that I gained, is that fact that employee opinions are welcomed. If those opinions assist the company with becoming a more effective and efficient organization, they are implemented by the owner. I am fortunate to have transitioned to KEY because I was welcomed with open arms and provided an opportunity to grow and input ideas to assist the firm with reaching their goals.
