Job description

WFFA is a relationship-based firm, placing a strong emphasis on client services and relationship-building. Employees at all levels are expected to be problem solvers, creative thinkers, and engaging advisors to their clients.

As a small firm, WFFA has created a workplace with a small-business feel. A strong non-corporate culture creates a friendly air of flexibility, allowing staff to buck the typical chain of command. Staff members regularly work in one-on-one situations with partners and managers both in the office and in the field, and are constantly encouraged to take on additional responsibilities and to grow both within the firm and along with the steady growth of the firm itself.

Job Description

Office manager for approximately 35-person accounting firm based in Long Island and Manhattan, New York. The office manager's responsibilities include handling the firm's internal bookkeeping, HR needs, payroll, procurement, etc.

Qualifications

The position requires a thorough understanding of bookkeeping, including experience with QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online, familiarity with payroll (experience with ADP is a plus), and knowledge of other HR areas such as health insurance and benefits.

Additional Information

Unlike some larger firms, WFFA does not treat its employees as expendable drones who can be burnt out and replaced. A typical day ranges from 9:00 AM to 5:30/6:00 PM, and candidates can expect a milder busy season than that of a typical Big-4 employee. It is important to the firm that employees are not forced to sacrifice their personal lives for a quarter of the year. Employees are viewed as a long-term investment, and the firm aims to create and nurture an environment where they can develop a clear career path as their experience and knowledge grow.
