How Did Our Office Ever Survive Without Her?
Basil Berry Sorbet
MEET OUR NEWTEAMMEMBER, BROOKE SCHEER!
Inspired by Good Housekeeping
Unlike standard ice cream recipes, this delicious sorbet doesn’t require fancy equipment or difficult prep. It’s also entirely dairy-free, making it the perfect vegan treat for the end of summer.
Every business owner can attest that without a hardworking group
of employees, everything would fall apart. With the amazing team I have here with me at the office — with my crazy antics and off-the-wall sense of humor — I

know that to be true a little more than most. But with Brooke Scheer joining the team as our marketing manager two months ago, I honestly can’t believe we ever got by without her.
DIRECTIONS
1. In a saucepan over high heat, combine sugar with 1 cup of water, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves, creating a syrup-like consistency.
Although Brooke hasn’t been here for long, she has already updated and restructured all our processes, and she’s introduced several instructional events to benefit our clients. In fact, just last month, she planned two dinner seminars where clients could learn about how to expense the family vacation and defer capital gains while we all shared a meal and drinks. When she’s not busy planning these awesome events, she is busy with mastermind seminars, talking with thought leaders in the industry, and nurturing relationships with clients through email check-ins, educational content and videos, and social media platforms. While Brooke has been quite busy these past two months, she still miraculously claims to love her job. She explains, “Although I’ve been in the marketing world for the past eight years, I dabbled primarily in the travel and bartending industries. While I loved working in both of those realms, I’ve already learned so much sharing an office with Adam and Ara. Believe it or not, I thoroughly enjoyed getting caught up in everything related to finance and accounting. It’s been such an amazing and serendipitous opportunity.” In addition to her new job, Brooke has another fantastic opportunity on the horizon. She is going to be a mom this November! We’re all extremely excited to support her on this exciting journey. While Brooke prepares for the arrival of her little one, she will continue learning all she can about accounting inside the office and reading all she can about American history outside the office.
2. Remove syrup from heat, add basil, cover, and let stand for 15 minutes. Strain syrup into bowl and refrigerate until cold.
3. In a blender, combine syrup with frozen berries and lemon juice. Purée until smooth.
4. Transfer to a square baking pan, cover in plastic wrap, and freeze until set, about 2 hours.
5. Scoop and serve.
TAKE A BREAK
If you see Brooke during your next appointment, feel free to say a quick “Hello!” You’ll be glad you did!
