Ohio Employees' Responses to "What is Your Favorite Blue Moment?"

"PPM merged with Blue in 2019, and I was part of CAS (formerly Business Services), providing monthly accounting/financial reports. In 2025, after 37 years employment, I joined the Tax Team. I can tell you I was both excited and anxious to embrace my new role. The support I have received from leadership and staff has overwhelmed me. The hands-on guidance and one on one interaction have made this transition a success. I am so proud to be part of Blue and Co. I will strive to be that guiding light for others." – Angela Moose, Columbus, OH

"My favorite moment was getting here at work on the first day and seeing that my team had driven from Indianapolis to meet me. I’ve since seen how the team rallies for new employees and shows up in this way and it’s pretty impressive. It made me feel valued and worth someone’s time and effort to come here to support me on my first day." – Keyla Tobe, Columbus, OH

“Some of my favorite memories at Blue came from the events and work related to our Building Leaders 4 group. We worked on a project together for 18 months. We bonded as a team and as future partners in the firm. The last step of our project was presenting to all of the Directors of Blue at the annual Director Retreat. It was rewarding to discuss our project that would end up having such an impact on the firm.” – Tabitha Tolliver, Cincinnati, OH

"My favorite moment here at Blue was during the Summer Leadership Program a few years ago. I was able to spend that Friday with the group and get to know the students we brought in. We played games where we had to win a section to get a piece of a child’s bike we were building. It was a competition to see who could build their bike the fastest. Then we gave them a test ride in a race to make sure they held up for the children we were donating them to. It was very rewarding and fun to participate with some future employees of Blue! – Scott Wilson, Columbus, OH

"Whether chatting with local leaders at a Chamber of Commerce networking event, unwinding at a Columbus Clippers baseball game, navigating the chaos of the Phoenix airport with my team squished in the backseat (one word: Waymo), or cheering on our office’s summer volleyball league – it’s truly a combination of outings and team events that make up my favorite Blue moments! 

In a company of 500+ people, it is easy to feel disconnected, but experiences like these remind me how intentional Blue is about creating space for real relationships to grow." – Sam Crist, Columbus, OH
