Joseph Floyd ’83<br />

“Without question, Professor Simpson<br />

played an incredibly special role in<br />

making me realize how fulfilling a career<br />

as a CPA could be. I actually took only<br />

one class with Dick Simpson, but it was as<br />

inspirational and memorable as any class<br />

that I’ve taken before or since,” recalls<br />

<strong>Isenberg</strong> School accounting alumnus<br />

Joseph Floyd ’83. “In that course—<br />

Advanced Accounting—Dick brought not<br />

only remarkable energy and insight to<br />

the subject, but he also displayed a true<br />

passion for the importance of financial<br />

reporting”, reminisces Floyd, who was<br />

one of the founders of Huron Consulting<br />

Group in 2002, a company that now<br />

employees over 2000 people. “<strong>The</strong><br />

course also offered five-hour exams on<br />

Friday nights—great preparation for the<br />

CPA exam but also somewhat of a loss to<br />

one’s social life.”<br />

Last February, Floyd and his wife Janet ’86<br />

made a key gift to the <strong>Isenberg</strong> School’s<br />

campaign to create its first endowed<br />

faculty position in accounting, the Richard<br />

H. Simpson Professorship in Accounting.<br />

“For me, Dick’s influence went way<br />

beyond the classroom,” Floyd continues.<br />

“As a young public accountant in Boston,<br />

I reached out to Dick to discuss my career<br />

and get his advice, including the benefits<br />

of going to law school.” Floyd went on to<br />

earn a J.D. degree from Suffolk University<br />

and to specialize professionally in the<br />

nascent field that combined accounting<br />

with litigation and forensics. He later<br />

served as the partner in charge of Arthur<br />

Andersen’s Financial Consulting practice<br />

in New England. Today, he leads Huron’s<br />

Northeast region from New York City.<br />

“Janet and I are elated to help establish the<br />

endowed professorship, not only did we<br />

both graduate from UMass, but we met<br />

there and now have the privilege of being<br />

UMass parents with our son Bill attending<br />

UMass and, yes, studying accounting.”<br />

“I’m thrilled to sponsor, in conjunction with<br />

McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, a scholarship for<br />

a worthy accounting student,” emphasizes<br />

<strong>Isenberg</strong> School accounting graduate and<br />

McGladrey director, John B. McNamara<br />

’81 ’82 M.S. Although McGladrey & Pullen<br />

is the 5th largest accounting firm—right<br />

behind the Big 4—it focuses on middle market<br />

clients with revenue in the $100 million to<br />

$1 billion range. “Our scholarship is reserved<br />

for a sophomore who seeks a career in<br />

public accounting focusing on middle market<br />

companies,” notes McNamara. In the last<br />

five years, outstanding students with those<br />

aspirations have made the UMass Amherst<br />

campus an attractive recruiting destination<br />

for McGladrey & Pullen, with McNamara<br />

leading the recruiting initiative. Each year<br />

the firm has offered internships and hired<br />

two to three graduating seniors. <strong>The</strong> growing<br />

UMass Amherst and <strong>Isenberg</strong> School network<br />

at McGladrey & Pullen in its Boston office<br />

includes two directors and another ten<br />

staff professionals. Many others, he adds,<br />

are employed with the firm in its offices<br />

around the globe. “Next year, with greater<br />

participation in the scholarship from members<br />

of that network, I expect the award to grow,”<br />

predicts McNamara.<br />
