I also wanted to make the trip from a career growth perspective to learn about various accounting methods utilized in another country. I stepped out of my comfort zone and was greatly surprised with the results. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to see a whole new world. I highly recommend this type experience,” said Lathem.

In October, 2005, the initial phase of the program brought Matt Severs, HURST Senior Accountant, to Atlanta and Moore Colson as the first step of the joint employee exchange program.
