Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Exceptional Compensation Structure

In addition to a competitive base salary, the firm offers a highly attractive bonus structure:

• A percentage participation in collections above allocated overhead


• No negative carryover if overhead thresholds are not met


• Eligible for profit-sharing after one year


• 401(k) with up to 6% company match
