At Your Part-Time Controller (YPTC), “Accounting with a Purpose” translates to supporting our clients’ individual missions with dedication and passion. We utilize our collective expertise to create dialogue around achieving financial goals. Through this approach, we are partners in our clients’ success stories. 

In celebration of Earth Day, we asked our team: “What’s the most rewarding aspect of working with environmentally focused clients?”

“Working alongside passionate individuals in green energy is fulfilling and exciting. Green energy, a rapidly evolving field, offers me the opportunity to learn about cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions for clean energy production.” 

Sherri Melamut, Associate, Boston 

“Knowing that climate change does exist, helping my client has allowed me to contribute to meaningful change. We have helped empower them to understand their financial health, plan effectively, and make informed decisions. By ensuring that their resources are managed efficiently, we empower them to focus on what they do best: making the world a better, safer more resilient place. Knowing that our work supports a cause larger than ourselves is incredibly fulfilling.” 

Joyce Vissichelli, Associate, New York 

“It is very rewarding to play a part in the preservation of open spaces. 

I may be at my desk but I’m helping my land trust client protect recreation areas, farms and watershed basins. The work is interesting, and the cause is so important!” 

Margaret Randle, Associate, Boston 

“Working with environmentally focused clients is especially rewarding because it connects our daily work to a greater purpose. Supporting organizations that are actively protecting and restoring our natural world brings meaning beyond the numbers. It’s a reminder that our behind-the-scenes efforts play a real role in advancing missions that matter. 

Being in Yosemite National Park, surrounded by towering trees and the beauty of untouched wilderness, puts that impact into perspective. It’s both grounding and inspiring to know that the work we do contributes, in some small way, to preserving places like this for future generations. That sense of connection—to our clients, to their missions, and to the planet—makes the work incredibly fulfilling.” 

 Lisa Dries, Manager, Remote Services 

“I am currently working with a couple of clients who work to conserve and preserve land and quality of life around New England. It is vitally important to me to work towards enjoying and leaving behind a legacy for my children and theirs. I also love to photograph landscapes and animals. One of my clients is local so I get to enjoy the results of their stewardship every day. It gives me a sense of pride and purpose beyond satisfaction of a job well done.” 

Marie Gertje, Associate, Boston 

“The best part of working with environmentally focused non-profits is knowing you’re helping make a real difference for the planet. It’s rewarding to be part of efforts that protect nature, promote sustainability, and create a better future for everyone. I love seeing how small actions can lead to big changes.”

Synthia Anasagasti, Staff Accountant, Remote Services 

“I’m deeply passionate about combating climate change, so it’s incredibly rewarding to dedicate my professional efforts to supporting organizations that are making a real difference. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work has been helping one of our environmentally focused clients streamline their finance processes. By improving efficiency, we’ve freed up valuable time and resources for them to focus on more strategic, forward-looking initiatives like forecasting and data-driven decision-making—ultimately amplifying their impact on the cause we all care so deeply about.” 

Crystal Murphy, Associate, Boston 

“Working with clients who are environmentally focused involves working with people who are incredibly passionate about a cause greater than themselves. Not only are they making the world a better place for us today, but also a better place for future generations.”
