Anna Barnes- Audit Associate

After working for PKM for only five months, I got engaged and found out that I would be moving from Atlanta to Macon, GA. I was a little timid about moving, because I did not want to lose my job or lose the clients I had already formed great relationships with. However, after talking to some of the partners, they assured me they would make it work.

I was nervous to change all of my clients after the relationships I had with my original clients had started to grow. One of the partners here came to me and said, “You’ll thank me one day, because I am going to put you on the Middle-Georgia jobs so you can see your husband.” While I was a little apprehensive at first, I do thank him now. I love the clients I work with in Middle-Georgia, and it is great seeing my family as much as possible. The partners and scheduling team at PKM worked really hard to change my schedule around and allow for the move. It is a continuous effort to schedule all PKM employees near their homes.

I have one client that was especially picked out for me, in South Georgia near my parent’s home. It is an internal audit, so I spend about four weeks of the spring and summer months in Fitzgerald, GA, where I grew up. I usually have great meals at night, and see all my grandparents while I am working. Last spring, I got to spend some very precious time with my grandfather before he passed away in late May. It really made me appreciate PKM and the thought process that goes into the scheduling here
