Marlborough Accountant Wins Award for Workplace Achievements

From Massachusetts Society of CPAs:

Marlborough resident Linda M. Smith, CPA was selected as a 2016 Women to Watch Award winner by the Massachusetts Society of Certified Public Accountants (MSCPA), the professional association of certified public accountants, representing over 11,000 members. Each year, the MSCPA recognizes women who have made an outstanding contribution to the accounting profession, their community, place of employment and/or to the development of women as leaders.

Smith, managing partner at Smith, Sullivan and Brown PC in Westborough, was selected in the Experienced Leader category, reserved for professionals with more than 15 years of experience.

Smith runs one of the largest women-owned and operated accounting firms in Massachusetts and instituted a “mom-friendly” work environment that allows working mothers to have an enriching career while maintaining a family life. Smith, Sullivan and Brown, PC offers employees’ flex-time, part-time or full-time and flexible summer work hours. Her firm demands no required overtime, a rarity in this industry.

Smith is one of three Experienced Leader award recipients statewide. Honorees are nominated by their peers and selected by a committee.

Award winners will be honored on Nov. 2 at the MSCPA’s Eighth Annual Women’s Leadership Summit at The Westin Boston Waterfront.

“The MSCPA is celebrating the achievements of these remarkable women and we’re looking forward to honoring Linda for her outstanding contributions to her peers, her community and her profession,” said Amy Pitter, president and CEO of the MSCPA.
