Last month, Linkenheimer participated in inspiring six Elsie Allen High School Juniors and opened their eyes to the wonderful world of accounting.  A group of eight Linkenheimer employees spent half a day with the students and their advisors to explain and demonstrate what exactly accountants do.  We provided them with explanations and examples of the different types of accounting professions out there including public accounting vs private accounting and tax vs audit; as well as sharing with the students our firm’s background and how import our culture is within the firm.  We explained that all of us working together in the firm, spending so much time together, we strive to meet our value words of Team, Care, and Approachable to provide a better experience for our staff and our clients.  It was a very enjoyable experience inspiring such a great group of kids and assisting in broadening their views to now include an accounting career as one of their many career options as they head into the world.  This is the third time this year Linkenheimer has partnered with the nonprofit, Social Advocates for Youth (SAY), to host groups of high school students from different Sonoma County schools.
