Meet ML&R: A Fresh Take on Public Accounting

Summer 2023 Accounting Externship
Maxwell Locke & Ritter – 401 Congress Ave. Suite 1100

My ML&R Moment

“I knew I made the right decision in joining ML&R after my first firmwide social. Those first few weeks had been filled with opportunities to get to know professionals of all levels at the firm, but during this time I got to meet so many people and really see how everyone enjoyed being a part of this culture and community regardless of the point they were in their careers. As an intern, I not only felt welcomed, but I felt like my skills were valued and I would get help developing my career goals.”

Brytin
Brytin Staab, Audit Intern

“In November, I was working 50+ hours a week, often until 11 p.m. One night my son asked me, ‘Mommy you’re working again?’ and in that moment, I knew I had to make a change. I was working like it was a normal busy season in November and taking time away from him. I wanted to be somewhere that provided me the work-life balance that I desperately needed. ML&R has a reputation of providing that to its people. I knew ML&R would be able to give me my time back so I could spend more time with my kids.”

“When I was researching the firm, I came across the firm’s motto, ‘No success at work is worth a failure at home.’ Many companies preach work-life balance, but few make it one of their core values. Through speaking with employees during my interview process, I could tell that this motto is instilled in each and every employee. It was so refreshing to know that ML&R truly cares about its employees on both a professional and personal level.”

Nicole Owens, Tax Associate

“I knew I wanted to work at ML&R after my first interview. This feeling was reconfirmed with every new employee that I met during the interview process. I could tell from our brief conversations that every person I spoke with genuinely enjoyed their job and felt that ML&R was invested in both their professional and personal success. It became clear that work-life balance isn’t just a talking point here, but a fundamental part of what makes this firm so successful. I’m excited to be a part of that!”

Testimonials

The empowerments the firm gives to keep learning, develop ourselves, get involved, and share knowledge, combined with a longstanding commitment to flexibility and balance for its people, makes ML&R a pretty unique CPA firm. I’m proud to be part of this team.

The partners and associates are great mentors, fostering a culture of continuing education, professional, and personal development.

ML&R has a great family environment that overwhelmingly works to make sure every employee is satisfied with their job.

ML&R is a special place, and our core values are alive in all levels of the company.  Our leaders truly believe that their people are their best asset and involve them in creating and improving new processes. 

This firm represents a new kind of accounting firm, where people and their lives at home are important, not just getting the work done.

A great level of autonomy and ownership of my work.

I love the autonomy my job provides and the opportunities to better myself both in my career and personally.

I truly enjoy everyone I work with, and I am so grateful for the job I have.

ML&R’s firm leadership cares about the people who work here, and want to support them in whatever ways necessary so that everyone can be successful.

People here are genuine, friendly and professional and everyone strives for the highest level of service towards colleagues and clients.

The best about Maxwell Locke & Ritter is the flexibility it provides to its employees by putting trust in them.

The level of trust and respect that management has for employees allows us a flexible work environment that lets me manage my work and home life in a way that fits my family’s needs.

The other things that make it a place want to work are the rewards, the people, the fun and entertainment activities and the best client exposure in Austin.

This organization walks the walk (and doesn’t just talk the talk) when it comes to being a family friendly organization that cares about its employees AND their families.
