In the press package commemorating its 75th anniversary, Bruner-Cox LLP includes an amusing timeline that juxtaposes the accounting firm’s milestones against other historical events.
For example, Charles Lotz joined the firm as a partner in 1931 — the same year Al Capone was sentenced to 11 years in prison for income tax evasion. A disclaimer clarifies that Capone was not a client of the firm.
Noting that Steve Pittman became a partner in 1987, the narrative reads, “Based on his portfolio, Steve feels slightly responsible for the Black Monday Stock Market Crash.”
Another notation declares that managing partner John Finnucan joined the firm in 1978 — the same year “the first official Elvis sighting was recorded.”
Says Finnucan, “Our goal is to make Bruner-Cox a fun place to work.”
