6 A Day in The Life of a Mueller Prost Employee Today I reached out to a company providing online bill, committee, and legislator tracking services that provide information related to upcoming state and national level tax legislation and specific bills. This allows me to notify our clients of important updates to legislation that may impact them. Exceeding expectations is a great part of my job. - Tim O Neill, CPA Staff Level II Accountant I had a conference call with one of our growing healthcare clients in California to discuss issues related to recent acquisitions. I met with a Missouri healthcare client for lunch to discuss HUD financing and plan for fieldwork. I also met with a local animal shelter that I serve on the board for to discuss interim financial statements and budgeting. Tomorrow my day will be full of completely different meetings and work, which keeps things interesting! - Caty Beilsmith, CPA Manager, Audit Services I had a conference call with a client to go over our tax projections regarding their potential sale, made updates to the projection, and prepared our board presentation for later in the day. After that, I utilized our membership in a national association of accounting firms, called Allinial Global, to reach out to another member firm as a resource to discuss a client s potential move to Puerto Rico and the possible tax implications. I created a memo recapping our discussion and sent it to the client. We truly are utilized by our clients as a resource to assist them in large and important decisions. - Tiffany L. Kuntemeier, CPA, CSEP Manager, Tax Services I connected with my team working on an employee benefit plan audit being done at the client site and checked in on the status of other ongoing engagements.

Helping mentor my teams and be part of the firm s strategy are rewarding parts of my job. - Adam Hill, CPA, MBA Manager, Audit Services Two managers, a senior, and I met with a pharmaceutical industry client to learn about their internal processes and provide suggestions to address issues they were having.
