The Exuberant Accountant - Scott Heintzelman

  As Forrest Gump so famously said, “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get.” Well yesterday I got a wonderful tasting chocolate covered almond (my personal favorite) – not literally of course. When I started writing this blog over two years ago, I really just wanted to share some ideas about leadership, family business, book reviews, proactive advice… with my clients and some friends in my network. Of course the blog has grown well beyond anything I could have imagined and occasionally some nice accolades will come to confirm that I am making a difference. Yesterday was such a day!

The Wellesley Hills Group (a nationally recognized consulting firm) and their premier online website – RainToday.com (source for insight, advice, and tools for growing your business) recognized my blog along with some national (and even international) organizations. They published an article titled, Are There Any Good Professional Services Firm Blogs Out There? and listed 8 professional service firm (law, architecture, consulting, IT services, accounting…) blogs that are well done and really add value to clients. I was pleasantly surprised to see my name on the list that included Accenture (former Arthur Andersen Consulting Group) and PWC (Global Big Four firm PricewaterhouseCoopers).

Thank you to everyone that checks in and reads the blog, because without any readers this blog would not happen. I also really appreciate the feedback and dialogue I have with so many of you as this is the energy that keeps me writing. So, thank you for allowing me to enjoy a wonderful chocolate covered almond yesterday!
