What Our Employees Say

“The firm puts a lot of time into training and developing staff. The training MBE provides has allowed me to progress in my own career, and I am confident the training we have will allow other staff to as well. For instance, MBE provides programs to help staff study for their CPA, which I believe is very valuable for staff starting their career in public accounting. MBE is very focused on employee growth and will take any step to make sure they are helping their employees reach their goals.”

“The firm has helped me continue to learn and grow not only as an employee but in my personal life as well. I have been out of my comfort zone more than I can count in my career. I have had my own client meetings that I lead now, given presentations, and did returns that I thought were too difficult for me at first. By doing this, it has made me expand my knowledge tremendously and helped my confidence"

“The training and access to managers and partners, help you succeed in understanding, expanding, and learning not just me, but anyone who comes to our firm. I needed more training to better understand business tax, and I was able to work with a manager who helped me understand what to do, and I was able to follow her and take notes that helped me complete returns.”

“I think what sets MBE apart is the flexibility; you can’t beat MBE’s flexibility, but also making people feel connected, part of a team, and knowing that they always have someone to reach out to.”

What Our Employees Say

“I started my journey with MBE in the Sun Prairie office in 2020. Since then, my career path has taken me internationally to the Ivory Coast, thanks to the support of MBE.”

“I began my career with MBE in Wisconsin, then I moved to Colorado, and a few short years later, I moved back to Wisconsin. Throughout each of these transitions, the firm provided exceptional support.”

“I started my career with MBE in Wisconsin, and over time, my journey took me across the globe. When I relocated to Bulgaria, MBE not only supported my transition, but also empowered me to grow during this process. I had the opportunity to open and manage our Bulgaria office, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. This opportunity reflects MBE’s trust in its employees and its commitment to fostering growth in all forms.”

What Our Employees Say

“MBE CPAs prides itself on being a "pay it forward" organization. Someone trained me, I owe it to my team and the profession to keep giving back by continuing to put training efforts into the next generation. I started at MBE as an intern. Once hired for a full-time role, I was quickly given opportunities to work with clients. This sets MBE apart from its competition. The client-facing opportunities have been the most rewarding, in terms of impact, of my career.”

“If you put in the time and have ambition in your career, you have the ability to climb the ladder fast at MBE. They also allow you to work in different departments and see which field fits your skill set and lifestyle the best. I was escalated to a manager role fairly quickly in my career, and being able to realize the value I bring to the firm has been nice to see in my time here at MBE.”

“When I started at the firm as an entry-level payroll processor, I was looking for a place where I could grow. What I found was so much more—a supportive environment that has shaped my entire career. With the encouragement and mentorship of the team, I advanced from payroll to bookkeeping, then to a staff accountant role, and eventually into a Tax Manager position. Along the way, the firm provided not only professional guidance, but also financial support for my continued education. That backing made it possible for me to complete my bachelor’s degree and obtain my CPA license—milestones I’m incredibly proud of.”

“My journey at MBE began as a staff accountant. After a year, I was promoted to manager, and approximately seven and a half years later, I became a partner. I credit the firm for providing a clear path to advancement, along with the resources and support needed to achieve my professional goals. MBE is deeply committed to internal growth—we prioritize promoting from within and actively create opportunities for team members to pursue the partner track. As the firm continues to expand, I’m confident that even more doors will open for professionals at every stage of their careers.”
