It boosted the NASL to previously unseen heights. Unfortunately, Pelé's (second) retirement also showed the continued vulnerability of America's top flight professional league. This episode explores the many layers of his time in New York and it's long-term impact on the game in the US. Our guest on this episode is Front Row Soccer editor Michael Lewis; he has covered 13 World Cups (eight men, five women), seven Olympics and 25 MLS Cups. He has written about New York City FC, New York Cosmos, the New York Red Bulls and both U.S. national teams for Newsday and has penned a soccer history column for the Guardian.com.

Kim Forrester, CPA, didn’t start out to be a trailblazer; but as the first female partner at her accounting firm, Levine Jacobs and Company, she is a role model for women coming up the ranks in accounting. She credits her success to fully understanding the needs of her clients---primarily doctors, dentists, and small businesses. GRABBING OPPORTUNITY WHEN IT COMES KNOCKING The timing of Kim’s career move to public accounting wasn’t totally planned.  Listen as she describes her work at a Fortune 100 company and what motivated her to obtain her accounting degree. “Frankly,” she says, “I was downsized out of my position.” That’s what ultimately got her to move. “The company was going public and it had to reduce its headcount.”  I bet many of us can relate to that. When Kim joined her firm, she was more “seasoned” than some of the other new accountants.  It’s all in your perspective, Kim offers. Where some might have seen a challenge, she found opportunity. If you’ve ever faced a similar career challenge, you’ll be encouraged by her story. GRANDMA AS CLASSROOM MOM While Kim was completing her degree in accounting, she was also working full time and a single mom raising her young son.  Like many women, she was fortunate to have friends and family to help her along the way with childcare and other “mom” duties.  Listen as she lovingly describes how her mom became classroom mom for Kim’s son. “WE’RE SERVICE PROVIDERS”  As like many of her clients, Kim ultimately considers herself a service provider. And she is well aware of the competition out there for accountants.  She admits that you need to distinguish yourself in the marketplace.  In this episode she shares her philosophy on how to succeed at this. GET OUT THERE AND NETWORK As her firm’s first female partner, growing her client list and the firm takes time and consistency. “You have to put yourself out there on a regular basis and meet new people,” she says.  At first, she admits, networking was tough.  She advises young accountants to just get out there and do it: it will become easier with time and practice. And in order to get the ball rolling when she meets a business owner: “It’s important to have an elevator pitch,” she says.  And it can be something as simple as, “How satisfied are you with the service provided by your current accountant?” You need to ask questions and you need to dig deep and understand the prospect’s business needs, she continues. How does Kim balance rainmaking and servicing clients?  Listen in to learn how! BEST CAREER ADVICE SHE EVER RECEIVED? Especially in accounting, she says, you have to keep organized.  She admits this can be a challenge when juggling a business, clients’ needs, family and growing an accounting practice. She shares her tips about how to stay on top of it all. WORDS OF WISDOM TO YOUNGER WOMEN  Accounting is a great career for women, Kim says, and with many men retiring from the profession, opportunities abound.  But will you like it?  If you think you might have an interest in accounting, she advises, take a course or two in bookkeeping or basic accounting. Even if it turns out you don’t want to pursue an accounting degree, you’ll still have useful skills for whatever career you chose. About Kim E. Forrester  Kim has over twenty-five years of experience and specializes in audit, business accounting and taxes (corporations, partnerships and sole proprietorships including doctors, dentists, funeral homes and wholesale distributors).  She focuses her practice by working directly with clients on the efficient organization of their accounting records in order to analyze their company’s strengths and weaknesses as well as to prepare their business filings.  Kim is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA).  Additionally, she is a Member of the Starlight Chapter of the Eastern Star organization.  Community minded, Kim has served the First Memorial Presbyterian Church of Dover in various capacities; Chime Master, Member of The Nominating Committee, the Trustee Committee and is a Teaching Assistant for their Sunday School program.

Chris Christie for his signature, John Reitmeyer reports for NJ Spotlight. The governor is expected to sign the measure, which would provide per-job tax credits worth as much as $10,000 annually to any company that is willing to hire at least 30,000 employees and invest at least $3 billion in a corporate headquarters in New Jersey.

096 Fun as Business Culture URL: http://www.julieannsullivan.com/creating-fun-as-business-culture/   Summary Can an accounting firm actually be a fun place to work? The two concepts of “fun” and “accounting” seem to be polar opposites. On this episode, you’ll learn how one forward-thinking accounting firm has carefully created a fun business culture that allows their team members to grow and thrive. I’m thrilled to share an interview with Bill Hagaman, CEO and Managing Partner of WithumSmith+Brown. Since I’m a recovering accountant, I was very intrigued to have Bill on the show. We don’t think of an accounting firm as a place where people have fun, but as you’ll learn in this episode, they have used videos and other intriguing programs to establish a business culture that is enjoyable and growth-oriented. You’ll be inspired to start thinking of ways to boost the culture at your own workplace after hearing how Withum does it. You might even be inspired to get up and dance! Bill’s Bio: Bill is the Managing Partner and Chief Executive Officer of WithumSmith+Brown, PC, and has been a member of the firm’s management for over 30 years. He is a licensed certified public accountant in New Jersey, New York and Florida, as well as a Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA), specializing in merger and acquisition services and international business. A graduate of Richard Stockton College of New Jersey with a bachelor’s degree in accounting, Bill joined Withum in 1980. He is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJSCPA). He has also demonstrated a leadership role in expanding the firm’s global capabilities, serving as a current executive committee member of HLB International and as the former chairman of Nexia International USA. Both are worldwide networks of independent accounting firms and business advisors. Bill has appeared on several television and radio programs discussing topics related to leadership and business management. He is frequently quoted in accounting and business publications, and has authored many articles over the years on topics ranging from fixed asset management, mergers and acquisitions and leadership within the profession.   You’ll discover:  The programs Withum uses to engage its team members. Why they use the term “team members” instead of “staff” or “employees.” What it means to “dress for the day.” How Withum uses a suggestion box to gather great ideas. The way Withum uses its annual video to differentiate themselves, increase engagement, recruit team members, and bring in new business. How Bill uses the ten elements of the “Withum Way” to create and maintain the company’s culture. The importance of repeating yourself and delivering the same message over and over again.
