She will help shape the accounting curriculum and highlight career opportunities.
Canton, MA (July 29, 2025): Gray, Gray & Gray, LLP, an independent accounting and business consulting firm based in Canton, MA, is proud to announce that Rebecca Palma, a Manager in the firm’s Audit & Assurance Department, has been elected to the Bentley University Emerging Leaders Advisory Board. She has already participated in a joint board meeting last month with the accounting alumni Advisory Board.
The Advisory Board serves as a crucial bridge between academia and industry, connecting Bentley’s accounting faculty with practicing professionals to ensure the curriculum remains relevant to the skills students actually need in today’s marketplace. The board also provides students with insights into the diverse career paths available within the accounting profession.
“Rebecca exemplifies the caliber of professionals we develop at g3,” said Jim DeLeo. “Her expertise, combined with her passion for mentoring the next generation, makes Rebecca the ideal candidate for this advisory role. She brings a unique perspective about the advantages of working at an independent firm, where professionals can truly grow their careers while maintaining work-life balance and being valued as individuals.”
“This advisory board presents an incredible opportunity to help shape how future accounting professionals view their career options,” said Rebecca Palma. “Too often, students fail to understand the amazing opportunities that exist at independent firms like g3 as well as opportunities that exist in the private sector… I’m excited to help students understand that there are multiple pathways to a successful and fulfilling accounting career.”
The selection of Rebecca Palma to the Emerging Leaders Advisory Board aligns with Gray, Gray & Gray’s broader mission of raising awareness about the distinct advantages of working at an independent accounting firm. Unlike large corporate environments, g3 offers professionals the opportunity to work directly with partners, gain exposure to diverse industries and services, and build a career path that prioritizes both professional excellence and personal fulfillment.
Gray, Gray & Gray continues to differentiate itself in the marketplace by demonstrating that independent firms offer competitive advantages in terms of career development, company culture, and client relationships; factors that are increasingly important to today’s accounting professionals.
