Business Excellence Awards 2023

54 Acquisition International - Business Excellence Awards 2023 “Once ubiquitous terms in information technology companies, today we have adopted them,” Ramki continues. “We aren’t alien to such technologies and have put them to good use. Process automation is the ‘in thing’ today. We are working on robotic automation of processes that will have certain long-term impacts for us and the industry.” The combined experience of the team is a whopping 300plus years spread across 60 individuals. The strength derived from these talents puts Berger CPAFirst in a situation where it can generate a simple solution to an extremely complex business challenge. “As much as we look for domain knowledge while recruiting a new talent, we focus on their work culture and attitude,” Ramki elaborates. “We expect our members of staff to have a hunger to address client needs. There is no dearth for talent in this country, but we seek a balance between talent and their aptitude for client service.” Recently, the eminent Tax firm gained recognition in the Business Excellence Awards and was named Best Tax Firm 2023 - New York.
