staff to communicate with them. Our business casual dress code also
contributes to the relaxed atmosphere.
Work Life Balance
Balance between work life and home life is essential in
order to perform well professionally. Different people define the balance
in different ways and that is why we work to help you find your own balance
of work and personal time. Over the years, we have been able to
accommodate many of our employees in achieving that balance.
Professional Development
Rippe & Kingston is a great place to learn. With our
diversified client base, our employees have the opportunity to work with
businesses in a variety of industries. They also have the opportunity to
work directly with partners who are experts in the industries we serve. We
are departmentalized by audit and tax which allows employees to specialize
in an area and to serve our clients better.
In addition to on the job training, each employee
receives at least forty hours of formal training each year. These training
courses are conducted by the AICPA and other professional organizations.
With the combination of the classroom and real world experience, our
employees obtain the tools and resources to succeed.
Commitment to the Community
Rippe & Kingston believes the success of the firm
correlates with the success of the community in which we work and live. We
find great satisfaction in giving back our time and money to the community.
We participate in countless events and golf outings for a plethora of
organizations including the American Cancer Society, American Heart
Association, and the Cincinnati Art Museum just to name a few. Our partners
serve on several not-for-profit boards and committees including Xavier
University, Dan Beard Council- Boy Scouts of America, SPCA Cincinnati,
Talbert House, and the Over-the-Rhine Chamber of Commerce.
Mentor Program
Transitioning from a student to a professional
is exciting, but also overwhelming. The early days at our firm are made
much easier by a mentor program designed to help with the unfamiliar. This
system creates involvement and interaction between co-ops and/or new team
members and the firm’s existing personnel. Your mentor will be
available to answer your questions, show you the internal operations of the
firm, and to get you comfortable in your new environment.
Camaraderie
 Our employees participate in several
firm-wide social
events which contribute to the congenial office atmosphere. Rippe &
Kingston sponsors an all day golf outing, evening at the Cincinnati Reds
game, Cornhole tournament, and holiday get- together. In addition, we gear
up for tax season with a kick-off party; following April 15, we celebrate
our hard work at the post tax-season party. Members of the firm also enjoy
spending time together at lunch, after work, and on the weekends. We are
dedicated to our work, but we always make time for fun with our coworkers.
Office Location
Rippe & Kingston is conveniently located in the Mt.
Adams area of Cincinnati. We enjoy a magnificent view of downtown without
dealing with the hassle and expense of parking. Our employees park for free
in the lot directly adjacent to the office or directly across the street. |
