Why Douglas Loves SMCO:

“The benefits of working as an accountant may not be well-known and viewed as the most glamorous job, but I  enjoy the problem solving, the opportunity to work with numbers and the ability to make strategic recommendations that can impact clients. Supportive colleagues and appreciative clients are valuable benefits, too.”
