Diligence and commitment to excellence define the culture at Sanders, Myers & Blackwell CPAs (SMB). The firm is deeply invested in its people, striving to create a rewarding career path that supports both professional development and family life. With an open-door, family-like environment, SMB fosters a supportive workplace where staff feel comfortable approaching partners and management. Laughter is a regular feature in the office, underscoring the firm’s relaxed and respectful atmosphere.

“We believe that SMB is the best place to work. For us, it is not a job, it is a career. We invest in employee’s careers and hope they invest in us,” said Christopher Myers, Partner.

Even during the demanding tax season, SMB finds ways to prioritize staff well-being. The firm reinvests in its people by organizing afternoons of stress relief and team building—complete with games, food and drinks at Big Shots Golf. As another way to show appreciation during peak workloads, SMB brings in a barista to prepare specialty drinks.

Hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. SMB recognizes exceptional performance with periodic cash bonuses, and annual evaluations come with raises based on growth and progression. Promotions are celebrated at the firm’s Christmas party. Additionally, SMB encourages community involvement by offering paid time off for volunteering and participating in nonprofit sponsorship events.

The benefits package at SMB is as supportive as its culture. Employees enjoy a competitive salary and a comp time policy that rewards them with paid time off and extra compensation for hours worked beyond 40. The firm covers 100% of employee health insurance, matches 3% of retirement contributions, covers CPA review courses and offers continuing education opportunities. SMB’s mentorship program is another example of how they actively support professional growth. Staff members are paired with a mentor to help identify strengths, ask questions and define career goals. Once they find their niche, SMB encourages and guides employees to grow into leadership roles.

Flexibility is another trademark of the SMB experience. Staff enjoy an autonomous work environment, with the freedom to set their own schedules. Many opt for a four-day work week outside of tax season, taking Fridays off. While SMB prefers face to face interaction in the office, staff can seamlessly work remote when the need arises.

The result is an engaging workplace culture. Employees describe SMB as caring, as well as hard-working and dedicated. They take pride in putting clients first, offering expert guidance and helping clients overcome challenges to save money and achieve success. The atmosphere is positive, team-oriented, and deeply supportive.

As one employee put it:
“The approachable, small firm feel paired with the expertise of larger firms stands apart. The willingness to listen, understand and go the extra mile creates a real connection that makes SMB a great place to work.”
