About

In the Community

We’re accountants.  But we’re also teachers, coaches and builders who believe in giving back to our communities.  Reznick Group regularly hosts volunteer events for our employees with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Junior Achievement, local law enforcement agencies and more. Each of our offices  also participates in local charitable events that help their communities.

Giving Back Every Day –Our Green Commitment

Reznick Group is committed to the environment.  The Bethesda, MD headquarters executes best practices in reducing our footprint on the Earth, collectively and individually, while encouraging others to do the same.  From partnering with green companies, to recycling, waste reduction and energy conservation practices, Reznick Group is resolute in our commitment and determination to protect the environment.

Having achieved a Green Business Certification in April, 2010, the first accounting firm in the area to do so, we have been recognized for our strides toward operating as a paperless business.  With electronic filing systems and communications, and by using green paper options when paper is necessary, we have reduced our solid waste contribution by 7553 pounds and saved 38 tons of wood.

By purchasing EPEAT registered electronic products and remanufactured toner and ink cartridges, we have prevented an estimated 2,070 pounds of waste.  This, coupled with transit options and videoconferencing, demonstrates our commitment to the environment each and every day.

'Pay it Forward' Program

One of our most popular and successful charitable endeavors is modeled after the movie, Pay it Forward, which tells the true story of a young boy who does good deeds for others in need. In doing so, he asks that they pass on a good deed to another person, thereby “paying forward” an act of kindness.

In that spirit, Reznick Group has implemented a firm-wide ‘Pay It Forward’ initiative.  Each December, employees receive a little something extra in their paychecks with the hope that they’ll “Pay it Forward” to organizations meaningful to them by making contributions.  Motivated employees often turn their incentive into hundreds of dollars or more through fundraisers and creative sales.  From funding cancer research to helping children a continent away, Reznick Group employees rise to the challenge bigger and better each year!

National Social Impact Committee

Reznick Group formed a National Social Impact Committee to help the firm make a positive impact in the communities in which we operate. As a national team, the committee works with employees in each office to promote volunteerism, community service and charitable giving. The National Social Impact Committee also serves to recognize our employees who give back to their communities.

Reznick Reaches Out Award

The Reznick Reaches Out Award honors employees who are actively involved in making their communities a better place to live. Presented annually, Reznick Reaches Out Award winners in each local office are announced at our annual State of the Firm meetings. Honorees receive a donation to the charity of their choice and may be selected as the national Reznick Reaches Out award winner.

Local Community Service Initiatives

Reznick Group has established guidelines for each of our offices to commit both firm and personal time to community endeavors. Office-wide community events are held 1-2 times per year. Small group activities are continually promoted with most of our employees participating in several each year. Many of our offices maintain current information on various community organizations in their area so that Reznick Group employees can get involved on an individual level.

As an example, Reznick Group took a unique approach when it came to celebrating the firm's 30th anniversary. Rather than holding an elaborate party, the firm organized a series of community service projects. This not only enabled us to enjoy some time out of the office with our colleagues, it also enabled us to make a lasting impact in the communities that have contributed to the success of our firm.

In 2007, Reznick Group adopted a mantra that serves as the driving principle behind our community service efforts:

"Reznick Group will contribute to the well-being of the communities in which we operate through our business activities and through the talents and commitments of our people".
