Last week, I cooked some real Chinese food for my coworkers, and they loved it somuch! Q: Howdo you like working at Concierge CPAs andwhat have you learned so far? A: Even though I just start working at Concierge CPAs, I love working here very much. My boss, Borbala, gives me flexibility and a lot of responsibilities, which I like. Also, all my coworkers are very nice and willing to help with whatever I need, so they are already like family members tome. Since I am just startingmy career, I’m learning a lot every day.

AMY XIONG
PERSON OF THE MONTH:
This month, we have the privilege of introducing Amy Xiong. She is a CPA candidate and the most recent addition to our staff, and so far she has done a wonderful job of assisting our clients. Q: Amy, tell us a little bit about your background. A: I am an international student from China. My hometown is Changde, which is located in Hunan Province in South Central China. I have been living in Ohio for seven years. I love living in Ohio, except the winter here is too long. In my hometown, the snow days are just one week or a couple of days long. However, winter in Ohio often lasts several months and sometimes even half a year. Q: Where did you go to school and why did you choose accounting and taxes as your major? A: First, I went to Hiram College in Ohio and got my bachelor’s degree in accounting and financial management. After graduation, I worked as an auditor and tax accountant for different companies. Then I decided to go back to school to get my master’s degree. This May, I graduated from the University of Akron with my master’s degree in taxation. The reason I chose accounting and taxes is that I love math and I like to work with numbers. Also, I love to talk and work with people and try to be helpful. I really feel happy when I can help someone with my technical skills.
