AGN NA Member MB Group in Plano, Texas, are named one of the Best Workplaces of 2021. The firm has made significant changes to enhance its company culture – a hot topic in the accounting industry.
In 2018, Susan Bryant and Janet Haston Quinones bought out the last male partner at their firm and reshaped the MB Group’s work culture to be pro-family, pro-balance, and supportive of employees’ growth.
A recently installed middle-management team ensures that workers get the training they need to level up their skills, whether it’s creating sharper presentations or becoming more comfortable with public speaking.
The most significant risk, was when the firm removed its process for tracking billable hours. This change sent a strong signal that it values employees and their work.
