Reznick Group PC Pledges $125,000 to UA School of Accountancy

TUSCALOOSA, Al. – Reznick Group PC, a national accounting firm, has pledged $125,000 to The University of Alabama in support of the Culverhouse College of Commerce and its Culverhouse School of Accountancy. Ranked among the top 20 public accounting firms in the nation, Reznick Group employs approximately 1,500 people. The firm maintains 10 offices nationwide, including a full-service office in Birmingham.

The Reznick Group Endowed Support Fund for Faculty Excellence will be used to attract and retain a faculty member in the School of Accountancy who will coordinate the master of accountancy program. “In today’s business climate, a master of accountancy degree is almost essential to an accountant’s success,” said Dr. Mary Stone, director of the Culverhouse School of Accountancy. “The Reznick Group Endowed Support Fund for Faculty Excellence will allow the School of Accountancy to continue to provide students the academically rigorous course of study needed for success in today’s competitive business environment.”

UA’s master of accountancy degree program is a fifth-year professional program and is designed to provide students with a greater breadth and depth of understanding of accounting and business than is possible in an undergraduate program. The program prepares students for careers as professional accountants in financial institutions, government, industry, nonprofit organizations, and public practice. Graduates are prepared to research various databases related to troublesome accounting problems and to exercise judgment in making accounting-related decisions by drawing on their integrated, comprehensive body of accounting knowledge.

“We are very excited about being a financial partner with The University of Alabama,” said Eddie Lusk, principal in Reznick Group’s Atlanta office and a UA alumnus. “For several years now we have recruited from the nationally recognized School of Accountancy and have greatly benefited from the talented professionals it produces. We are proud to be a part of the bright future of the University.”
