Job description

What if your next move in public accounting gave you more flexibility, better support, and somewhere you could actually grow?

You don't have to leave public accounting to find better balance.

An established regional CPA firm is growing its Sioux Falls team and looking to add professionals across both Tax and Audit.

They're open to different experience levels, whether you're still building your career or already have several years of public accounting experience and are ready for more responsibility.

The biggest thing they're looking for?

Good people who want to learn, grow, work with clients, and build a long-term career with the firm.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Tax and Audit opportunities available
• Opportunities for both Staff and experienced professionals
• Hybrid flexibility can be available depending on experience and training
• Fridays off during the summer
• 4 weeks of PTO
• Annual compensation increases/reviews
• Health benefits
• Retirement benefits
• Continuing education and professional development
• Direct interaction with experienced leadership
• Opportunity to grow into additional client and engagement responsibility
• Long-term advancement opportunities within the firm

Want Your CPA? They'll Help You Get There.

If becoming a CPA is part of your career plan, you won't be doing it completely on your own.

The Firm Offers

• 80% assistance toward CPA study materials
• CPA exam fees covered
• PTO to sit for the exams
• $3,000 bonus for completing your CPA
• Continuing education support after licensure

CPA is preferred for some positions, but it isn't required for every opportunity.

Tax Opportunities

On the tax side, you'll have exposure to a variety of work that can include:

• Individual returns
• Partnerships
• S-Corporations and other business returns
• Trust and estate work depending on experience
• Tax planning
• Client communication
• Review responsibilities for more experienced professionals
• Exposure to industries including agriculture and financial institutions

As you develop, there is room to take on more complex work, strengthen client relationships, and move into higher-level responsibilities.

Audit Opportunities

On the audit side, you'll work directly with clients and gain hands-on experience throughout the engagement process.

Depending On Experience, That Can Include

• Audit and assurance engagements
• Financial statement work
• Workpaper preparation and review
• Client communication
• Engagement planning and fieldwork
• Increasing responsibility for engagements as you develop
• Exposure to financial institution/bank audit work

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field
• Public accounting experience is preferred for experienced-level positions
• Tax or Audit experience - you don't need both
• CPA or CPA eligibility is a plus
• Strong communication skills
• Someone comfortable working directly with clients
• Desire to continue developing technically and professionally
• Someone looking for a firm they can grow with long term

Where This Can Go

This isn't about finding someone to sit in the same position for the next five years.

The firm wants people who can grow with them.

Maybe that means earning your CPA.

Maybe it's progressing from Staff to Senior.

Maybe you're already experienced and want more client ownership and responsibility.

Or maybe you're simply looking for a public accounting firm where flexibility, professional development, and your life outside of work can coexist.

You don't have to be actively looking to see if it's a fit.
