Clark Schaefer Hackett

At Clark Schaefer Hackett, our team is what sets us apart. Through the CSH Spotlight series, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the talented individuals who power our success. We’ve asked them to answer some fun and thought-provoking questions, and now we’re excited to share their unique stories and perspectives with you. Meet Brett Kohlmayer, CPA, Manager of Assurance, at our office in Cincinnati. Q: When did you join CSH? A: I interned at CSH in 2015, then started full-time in December 2016. Q: What does a typical day look like? A: Usually, I start each day with a cup of coffee and a walk around the neighborhood with my dog, Bolt. I usually vary between visiting clients, going to the office and working from home but each day usually involves working with my team to progress through whatever the week's task is. I usually wrap up my day with either a run, bike ride or another walk with Bolt, followed up with some video games. Q: Where did you go to school, and what did you study? A: I went to THE (I joke) Ohio State University, where I got a BSBA in Business with a specialization in accounting and a minor in Computer Information Systems. Q: Which of CSH’s REAL Values (Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Leadership) do you value most? A: While I think all the values are close to equally important, I would place Leadership at the top. I think leadership sets the bar for everyone else in an organization and gives everyone involved an example to emulate and mold their own leadership style. Q: What makes your workday exciting? A: I really enjoy seeing the staff I work with grow and develop their skills. Seeing someone have that "aha" moment makes the time spent teaching training well worth it. Q: What's one thing you've learned from your coworkers that you're grateful for? A: "We are not saving lives. It's just accounting." While that might sound negative, the thing I get out of that is keeping things in perspective; it's easy to lose sight of that sometimes. Q: What do you like to do outside of work? A: I love anything I can do outside - I really enjoy running, biking, disc golfing and skiing. The other thing that takes up most of my time outside of work is DIY projects; taking a step back and seeing something you were able to create is really satisfying. Q: Have you ever lived in a different city? If not, what other city would you want to live in? A: Outside of living in Columbus for college, I have not. If I could live in a different city, I would choose somewhere out in the Rocky Mountains. Q: What are three words your best friend or spouse would use to describe you? A: Hard-working, goofy, creative. Q: What is your favorite book, TV show, movie, or podcast? A: I really enjoy the podcast Planet Money, it's got a lot of interesting perspective on the economy in an entertaining way of delivery that isn't stuffy textbook lessons. #CSHSpotlight #MeetTheTeam #LifeAtCSH

▶️ https://lnkd.in/dVuuuRdH The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) releases a biennial study on occupational fraud, and its latest report, "Occupational Fraud 2024: A Report to the Nations," reviewed over 1,900 cases from 138 countries. The study estimates that organizations lose an average of 5% of their annual revenue to fraud, though the actual impact is likely higher due to undetected fraud and indirect losses such as lost productivity and reputational damage.
