A Business That Thinks Beyond Its Offices

At the Centers of Influence Awards, Jessica DeMunda (left), Marketing Director, and Mike Stankus, Senior Manager, accept an award for Herzbach & Company.

Located in Owings Mills, MD, HERTZBACH & COMPANY P.A. is a Certified Public Accounting (CPA) and consulting firm that strives to give the best level of expertise and advice to its clients and helps to guide them to business success. This accounting company has been in business for more than 65 years.

Besides serving a variety of businesses, Hertzbach also has its eye on serving its employees. Part of that service is in helping employees to maintain a balance between work and family life. In that regard, this company has provided a variety of work options that help meets its goals while serving its workers.

The company's latest moves will be applied in this upcoming tax season. Hertzbach will be changing its work rules to allow enough work flexibility to eliminate all or most of its in-office Saturday work hours during the tax rush. This change is in line with the company philosophy that its employees are its most important assets, while also maintaining that all-important sense of being part of a successful and supportive work team.

For the Christmas holiday season, the Volunteer Committee decided to collect clothing for GIVING BACK LINDA'S LEGACY (GBLL), a nonprofit located in Anne Arundel County that collects and distributes clothing for use by individuals without permanent homes. Partner Nancy Buckley spearheaded the clothing collection efforts. GBLL annually receives about 20 truckloads of clothing from businesses and other participants, which it distributes to homeless shelters.

But that's not all that Hertzbach did in its Christmas generosity. Through the efforts of the Volunteer Committee, employees collected 30 toolboxes, which were painted with inspirational messages, for ANGELS OF ADDICTION. Because a number of those without permanent homes seek shelter in abandoned buildings, the toolboxes contain supplies that help their users maintain safety in their food supplies and keep out insects. In other words, thirty individuals will be able to experience just a small amount of additional comfort through these donations.

It's nice to know that a company that engages in helping businesses do business also thinks enough of their community members to help them out in times of need. It shows that business is not just about "doing business".
