From wacky tie day to a hilariously difficult spelling bee, CPAinting to “dress as a Partner,” the Zinner team shared wit and wisdom during the firm’s annual United Way of Greater Cleveland fundraising campaign.

“We are fortunate that the Zinner staff are inherently caring, giving folks. As long-time supporters of the United Way and the people, programs, and organizations they serve, it was our pleasure to find meaningful ways to not only raise funds, but also raise awareness for the work they do,” said Sue Krantz, partner.

Check out some of the fun snapshots from our campaign activities.

                      


    

 Zinner & Co. was recently named an honoree of the 2016 Business Longevity Award by Smart Business Magazine. The firm, established in Cleveland in 1938 by Harry Zinner, is led by Managing Partner Robin Baum and partners Susan Krantz, Howard Kass, Gabe Adler and Brett Neate. 

The award will be presented at an August 4th ceremony and will recognize Zinner & Co. in addition to only 44 other regional companies with at least 50 years in business. Honorees must have demonstrated their ability to adapt and evolve with changing times.

“We are thrilled to be named an award honoree and to share the distinction with such a prestigious group of companies,” said Robin Baum, CPA, Managing Partner. Our approach to business growth and sustainability mirrors the same principles that we use when advising our clients; work strategically, with integrity, while never losing sight of the clients’ needs.”

The firm has evolved over the decades, becoming a true business partner that provides services beyond tax and accounting work. Specialty niche service areas not only span a variety of industries including real estate, manufacturing, professional services and not-for-profit, but also provide operational services including management consultancy, outsourced business services and planning and preparation for companies from start-up through succession.  

This visionary method to business is part of what keeps the Beachwood-based firm on its successful track; the other part is the culture of giving, a tenet shared among all employees. Employees are active members of the region, whether serving on boards, volunteering, donating their time or talent, or spearheading a cause. “We believe growing our community is just as important as growing our business,” added Baum.

A Smart Business Magazine judging panel reviewed submitted essay’s describing how companies remained viable over the decades and selected the recipients.
