  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and time management skills

  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively

  • Excellent communication and client-service skills

What We Offer:

  • Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and more

  • Paid continuing education and CPA exam support

  • Direct access to firm leadership and a clear path for advancement

  • A friendly, inclusive team that values your contributions and well-being
