FMFE, CPA, P.C.

This week was our first #fmfecpa Game Day! We transformed one of the conference rooms into a game space and cornhole court so that our team could take a break and let off some steam. Don't worry, there were definitely snacks as well! Taking care of our team is one of our highest priorities and one of the reasons we have been ranked one of the best places to work and the top accounting firm in CNY for our Firm culture. Making sure we have healthy, fun breaks like this allow our team to stay healthy, bond, and continue to serve our clients with focus and successful collaboration. #accounting #accountant #accountingservices #accountingtips #accountingfirm #accountinglife #finance #business #smallbusiness #entrepreneur #businessowner #entrepreneurship #tax #taxes #taxtips #bookkeeping #bookkeeper #bookkeepingtips #instaaccounting #instafinance #instabusiness #financialmarkets #invest #cpa #financegoals #financecoach #finances
