The feeling that they understand my goals and wants, and that they are committed more to making a sustanable difference in my life and those around me in our community than to simply making more money.

Sometimes client demands can seem unreasonable and it may make it tougher for both the employer and employees to be in 100% control of that life balance we all strive for.

The work/life balance, the types of clients we serve, my co-workers

Downers

Lack of formal mentoring program for managers

Advice to Candidates

Raffa does try hard to give employees a good work/life balance; however, in public accounting there will be times when you have to work extra hours. But the managers and partners try hard to make sure this isn't happening all the time and will shift work around to others. The fact that we serve the nonprofit community almost exclusively is a big plus. The pay is good, the benefits are great and people are nice here... This is the best firm I've worked for in my 25+ year career.

Raffa is a great place to be employed. The work is rewarding and diverse. Our clients are fantastic. The workload might be a lot sometimes, but I know it?s not nearly as bad as other CPA firms. The flexibility they offer with part-timers and location is fantastic. The benefits are generous. The focus on philanthropic efforts is uplifting. Overall, I wouldn?t want to work anywhere else.
