SHELTON – Tuesday, June 29, 2010 - BlumShapiro has been named the winner of the 2010 Best of Southport Award in the Certified Public Accountants category, making this the second consecutive year that the firm has won this prestigious award. BlumShapiro is the largest regional accounting, tax and business consulting firm located in Connecticut.
The award was given to BlumShapiro by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA) as part of that group’s “Best of Local Business” Award Program. This second consecutive award recognizes BlumShapiro’s unending commitment to the local community, as well as the firm’s outstanding efforts to provide its customers the very best in accounting services.
“We are honored to once again accept the Best of Southport Award, as it speaks not only to our first-rate accounting services, but also to our dedication to giving back to the community and truly investing ourselves in the area. We are proud to not only do business in the
Southport area, but to also be a friend and a neighbor there,” BlumShapiro Managing Partner Carl Johnson said.
“We thank the USCA for this meaningful honor – it truly reflects the hard work that every employee at BlumShapiro brings to their work every day,” Michael Niedermeier, Partner-in-charge, Southern Connecticut, said. “It is our privilege to be a part of a business community as strong as
Southport.”
Mr. Johnson and Mr. Niedermeier noted how rare it is for a business to qualify as a two-time award winner, as only 1.4 percent of the 2010 winners qualify for such a distinction. The 2010 USCA Award Program focuses on quality of work, not quantity, according to the USCA, and winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.
