“I made the switch to Scheffel Boyle after working in public accounting for 13 years. I knew I wanted a change and thought it seemed different here, more leadership opportunities and career development than I had seen before. I like the small town firm feel that each office has, even though our size and capabilities are comparable to lots of bigger firms in the area. I definitely made the right choice coming here years ago for myself and my career.”
