Careers:

“SSB has allowed me to experience the ultimate accounting career. As a YSU senior, I met Greg Bestic at the Accounting Fair and suggested he look into participating in the YSU accounting internship program. After an exciting first tax season, SSB allowed me to develop my professional skills and grow personally as I progressed through supervisor and manager positions to ultimately become a partner with this dynamic organization. SSB continues to provide me opportunities for personal and professional growth within a framework that provides quality services, great team members and, most importantly, an understanding that family takes a major role in our lives.”

“My family is the most important part of my life. When my sons were born, everyone would always say ‘take advantage of any time you can spend with them because they grow up so fast.’ They do grow too fast, but SSB has allowed me to spend more time with them than I had ever hoped. At SSB, we believe that our quality of life is very important. We all have responsibilities to uphold in our job but, with the flexibility of our schedules, responsibilities at home can be managed as well. I also appreciate that we approach any project as a team, and we work together and help each other all the way to the end. The quality product that we put out is a direct reflection on the quality people we have at SSB.”

“In addition to being a high quality firm, SSB is all about teamwork and family. Everyone at SSB truly cares about everyone else and will lend a hand to help whenever possible—whether it is a personal or professional matter. By providing educational courses, an internal mentoring program and encouragement to participate in outside activities, the firm has enabled me to grow from a Team Accountant to a Manager. The firm’s flexible hours have also provided me with the ability to balance both my professional and personal lives. Nine years ago I made a decision to work at SSB and I truly believe that it was the best decision that I have ever made, because I have grown more in my career at SSB than I ever had at my previous places of employment.”

“Prior to my becoming a CPA, I was familiar with SSB through different community organizations. I was always impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of everyone I had met from the firm, so when I started looking for employment with a public accounting firm SSB was my first choice. The firm has far surpassed my original impression. Repeatedly, SSB has illustrated the firm’s dedication to staff and clients, providing training, mentoring, and guidance that allows each team member to excel and continually improve. Regardless of position in the firm, everyone is a teacher and a respected member of the team. In our industry, high quality work is of utmost importance and I am appreciative knowing that the work produced by SSB upholds such standards. I am so thankful that I get to be a part of such a professional team every day.”
