Descripción del empleo

WFFA accountants are specialized generalists, contributing to all aspects of the services provided by the firm, but developing niche specializations based on the clients with whom they work most closely. Senior Associates are expected to engage in tax, accounting, audit and advisory services, adapting their skillset to the requirements of their clients and leaning on the firm’s infrastructure and experienced personnel for training and guidance.

Senior Associates work closely with partners and managers, engaging clients on a monthly, quarterly, annually or ad-hoc basis, and are regularly tackling a broad range of tasks in a variety of areas in any given week. Working at WFFA provides the unique opportunity for a Senior Associate to have a profound effect on their clients from day one.

Senior Associates are expected to:

• Have full responsibility for small-business clients, including preparing write-ups, closings and tax returns
• Have a working, up-to-date knowledge of federal and state tax law
• Review clients' books on a monthly/quarterly basis
• Work with clients' controller/CFO to maintain the clients' accounting systems and processes
• Prepare business, fiduciary and individual tax returns
• Participate in the audit planning and engagement process
• Consistently demonstrate individual initiative and creative thinking
• Work as a team member, understanding personal and team roles
• Identify and address client needs and build and maintain relationships with clients

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 associates to buck the typical chain of command. Senior Associates 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.

Unlike some larger firms, WFFA does not treat its employees like expendable drones who can be burnt out and replaced, and Senior Associates can expect a busy-season that is significantly milder than that of a typical Big-4 employee. Employees are a long-term investment, and it is the firm's goal to create and nurture an environment where associates can lay out and follow a clear career path as their experience and knowledge-base continues to grow.
