Kerkering Barberio & Co Reviews

Pros

KB has a great culture and good hard working people. I don't think there is a smarter group of people working together in the state of Florida.

Advice to Management

Keep up the fire and focus on retaining middle managers, especially ones that start as interns. Get some ROI on your investment, don't let them walk!

Pros

Great environment, overtime pay during tax season and breakfast on Fridays!

Pros

Excellent pay, fantastic colleagues, room for advancement, great perks (meals during tax season, give always, acknowledgements)

Pros

HR team is one of the best, most professional out there. They put in maximum effort to keep employees satisfied and relations smooth.

Advice to Management

As with most smaller firms, more training.
More team building for more group cohesiveness increased morale and less exclusionary behavior.

Pros

Great place to work. Flexible work environment; opportunity for growth if you are hard working and passionate about your job; and large firm with great resources / people for complex accounting work.

Advice to Management

Keep it up

Advice to Management

needs to be more inter-team communication

Pros

They want you trained. They care about their employees and retaining them for the long term. The perks are extremely competitive.

Pros

KB is a company which strives to keep its employees happy. Effort is made during the busy seasons to keep employees positive & motivated: dinner provided at times, massages, special events like lunches & contests, a supportive atmosphere. HR makes an effort to seek out issues and resolve them. Management seems honestly concerned with keeping a work-life balance to help avoid burn-out & turnover. Also, the company is extremely flexible during slow seasons, and even during busy season to a reasonable point. Open door policy is great for bouncing ideas around.

If you are a self-starter, your career path here will be very bright, with lots of opportunities. If you need to be micro-managed to accomplish things, you may have a harder time with the culture. There is no "good old boys club" at KB; if you work hard and well, you are rewarded.

Pros

A company that gets many of the small things right when it comes to employees. Recognizes birthdays, has cookouts on the parking deck, no "mandatory fun" events.
There is a strong focus on using best practices and tools that are usually not seen except in larger corporate settings, this is good. Development is provided not just on technical skills, but on soft skills also.
Offices are nice and working schedule is flexible according to each employees needs.
Employees are treated respectfully, fairly and professionally.
Lots of room to grow, if you are a self-starter.

Advice to Management

Keep working to build buy-in on initiatives that benefit the company in the long-term.
Be careful that an initiative doesn't just fade away... as this can be perceived as a failure to follow through or close the loop.
Remember to listen to lower levels as the younger generations can provide insights or different ways of viewing a situation.
Overall, company is responsive to people and their needs, but there is some disconnect that is causing the loss of talent.

Pros

I enjoy working at KB because of the variety of project opportunities offered. I also like the flexibility and the fact that I never feel like I am being micro-managed. KB has an open door policy and I can always go to my supervisor and ask questions. In addition, they provide financial assistance for the CPA exam and have fun events throughout the year. I also like the fact that we get paid for overtime hours and/or have to option to bank the extra hours for future use during slow season.
