Chamber Connection What does your organization do that most people donrsquot know about HORNE HORNE has offices across the Southeast but we are much more than a traditional tax and audit firm We focus in seven distinct industries to give clients depth of experience and resources Those industries are health care financial institutions franchise construction public and middle markets government services and wealth advisory

Chamber Connection What are some recent successes your organization has experienced HORNE HORNErsquos summer and spring intern classes were top notch In the accounting industry internships are really big deal and HORNE wins the best and brightest talent year after year but this yearrsquos class was awesome

Chamber Connection Whatrsquos new with your organization HORNE One of the most exciting things at HORNE right now is our commitment to evolving how we work We have been an industry known for very long inflexible hours HORNE is working to change that for our team members Whatrsquos so neat about that is the entire firm collaborated to write a flexibility philosophy and now we are learning how to live it

Chamber Connection Whatrsquos the biggest community project yoursquore working on right now HORNE HORNE recently kicked off its annual Summer of Service program which sends more than 500 team members out into their local commu-nities (across Mississippi Alabama Tennessee Louisiana and Texas) to participate in various service projects Every team member gets paid to go work a day in their community rather than in the office I think HORNErsquos Summer of Service reflects the commitment and passion the firm has for the local people and communities we serve Last year HORNE donated more than 2500 hours of community service to 25 different organizations

Chamber Connection What challenges does your organization face HORNE One of the challenges at HORNE and in the accounting industry overall is the coming people drought Baby boomers are retiring at a rate faster than we can develop their successors Therersquos a lot of opportunity for younger team members who are ready to step up and lead

Chamber Connection Are there any things we didnrsquot ask that you would like to share HORNE Itrsquos a really exciting time to be at HORNE Most people donrsquot think of accounting firms as exciting but it is here Therersquos a lot of positive energy and younger team members are being encouraged to take leadership roles (regardless of title or seniority)
