My name is Steve Stombaugh and I am a junior accounting major at Grove City College. I am going to intern for a small accounting firm in the suburbs of Pittsburgh in Scott Township. While this company only has 11 accountants on staff, Stenger, Bies, & Co. fails to have a website. While the company only hires on a need basis and rarely hires more than one person in a year or even couple of years, the company could get their name out there to prospective employees. The company perfoms personal and small business tax returns and helps with tax planning. This being said; people are more likely to want to deal with someone who is from a local community and they can relate to. Some people don’t want to go to H & R block or one of the Big Four Accounting Firms. With people being constantly on the internet and that being where they do the majority of their searches for services this could be a valuable tool to the company.
