What Makes ARB Different?
We’re industry leaders and compete with both regional and national firms. ARB maintains a community- and employee-centered atmosphere, while continuing to grow and provide pivotal services to clients, from local businesses to major multi-state and international corporations. Although our clients are primarily located in the Northeast, our industry expertise and our clients’ growth have allowed ARB to take our services across the United States – and even as far as Japan. And that means you’ll interact with business owners of companies with clients of all types and sizes.
Our clients expect us to think creatively about their businesses. We’re often asked to participate in strategic initiatives for growing their companies, improving their operations, or helping with family dynamics. Because you will gain experience with audit, tax, and operational issues in a variety of industries, you will be counted on to apply what you learn in one setting to what is needed in another.
Our culture is relaxed, upbeat, and fun. At ARB, we understand the importance of having a life outside the office. It serves you. It serves us. It serves our clients. Life experience, whether gained by engaging in the activities you love, interacting with your family, or diving into professional development, will make you smarter and happier. And we want smart, happy people at ARB.
In this profession, we work hard, both in the office and traveling to meet with clients. Work-life integration is an important part of our culture. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself at an afternoon Sea Dogs game, cruising the harbor at sunset, or walking to grab a lunchtime smoothie, compliments of ARB.
You’ll know the names of your coworkers and their families. From team lunches at the office to holiday parties with our families and kids to summer BBQs and baseball games, we plan a variety of events throughout the year, so we know each other well and know each other’s families. We enjoy getting to know our team members’ hobbies, interests, and passions outside of the office.
ARB’s Community Committee has organized a variety of charitable efforts by finding creative ways to rally support for community organizations. As a firm, we sponsor a number of local and national causes to support both our community and our country. We love giving back to our community. As a team-oriented culture, we take this value to heart. It means that together we work hard, but we also take the time to enjoy and support our communities. Our employees are always ready to help at the first opportunity to volunteer for local nonprofits, and the firm makes participation easy! Employees attending firm-sponsored volunteer events are compensated for the hours spent volunteering in their community.
