Why we created our women’s network

At Kreischer Miller, we know that our success is a direct result of the contributions of all our talented team members. Embracing everyone’s individual backgrounds, experiences, and opinions not only strengthens us as a firm, it also enables us to provide more well-rounded advice and guidance to our clients.

That’s why we’re committed to cultivating an environment where our team members feel like:

  • Their ideas are heard and their contributions matter.
  • Their career goals are supported.
  • They can do their best work.
  • They’ll be rewarded for their efforts and offered opportunities to grow.
  • They can find a healthy integration between their work and their lives.

In that spirit, we created RISE (Retain | Invest | Support | Empower), a comprehensive program for women that provides them with opportunities to connect as a team, learn from one another, and grow their business and accounting careers. RISE also provides women with an ability to draw on the support of a community of team members who can relate to your experiences and what you are trying to achieve.

  • Core hours: Under our Core Hours program, our client-facing employees have the opportunity to customize their working hours to accommodate personal commitments.

  • Parental leave: Our parental leave policy provides time for employees to bond with their new child (whether by birth or adoption).

  • Peer-to-peer mentoring and formal guidance are critical to all of our team members’ success. Throughout your career, we ensure that you’re matched with counselors and mentors who meet you where you are and are dedicated to helping you get where you want to go.
  • Personalized Growth Paths: Creating a career plan that is tailored to your goals is important to ensure that you achieve your fullest potential. We also recognize that plans sometimes change and there may come a time when you might want to pursue a different path. When this happens, we work with you to develop a personalized growth path that aligns your talents, skills, and career plans to the firm’s needs.
