Bring Your Kid to Work Day is always one of our favorite traditions!

We spent the afternoon outside playing yard games, soccer, Connect Four, co****le, and one very competitive group game of tag. Then we headed inside for a story time with Matt reading Save It!- a fun book about saving, spending, and choosing what matters most.

Wrapping up another busy tax season with some well-earned team time. 🎉

After months of hard work, our team spent the afternoon in downtown Grand Rapids enjoying lunch together, followed by an interactive game show experience at the Grand Rapids Game Show.
