Abacus CPAs is delighted to name Austin Bordovsky as the recipient of the 2024 Abacus Values Award for Positive Attitude. Austin is an accountant in our Fayetteville office.
Austin is a recent graduate of the Walton College of Business at the University of Arkansas and interned for nearly two years before joining the team full time. He is known around the office for taking on tasks with enthusiasm and enhancing the team’s spirit and productivity.
“My positive attitude award does not necessarily mean being in a good mood every day but lifting the people around me in the office and my team. Making sure everyone around me is prepared, confident, and happy with their output,” he said. “I also think it’s important to take time out of your day to ask about how people are and actually listen to what is going on with their lives.”
The Abacus Value Award for Positive Attitude recognizes an employee who leads a coachable mindset, cooperation and believes the intentions and abilities of others are good.
“I was not expecting to win an award during my first year as a full-time staff, but I am grateful of my team, my supervisor, and the partners for having enough faith in my to even be considered for this award. It is nice to be noticed and to know that all the hard work I’ve put in has been seen.”
Austin is looking forward to becoming a supervisor and continuing to spread a positive attitude on his team.
The Abacus Values Awards were created in 2020 to recognize individuals who fully exemplify Abacus Values in how they live, work and build relationships with clients and coworkers. Each recipient demonstrated exceptional understanding and achievement in client support and professional relationships.
