Job description

Help us build what is next. We are a tax, accounting, and advisory firm with 50 years of history and new ownership with a vision for what comes next. We’re looking for a sharp, curious, entry‑level accountant who’s ready to do real work from day one. If you want to build real skills, work directly with clients across dynamic industries, and help us modernize how we operate, this role is for you.

This isn’t a role where you’ll sit in a back office running the same reconciliation for three years. We’re building something, and we want someone who wants to build with us.

What You’ll Do

Entry‑Level | Full‑Time | On‑Site

• Prepare and review individual and business tax returns (1040, 1065, 1120S, 1120) under direct mentorship from senior staff
• Assist with monthly and quarterly bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial statement preparation for a diverse client base
• Research and implement new tools, automations, and workflows that make our firm faster and smarter (think AI‑assisted processes, cloud platforms, and modern reporting dashboards)
• Help build and document standardized processes as we modernize; your fingerprints will be on how this firm operates going forward
• Support niche industry clients in areas like media, production, and professional services with specialized accounting and tax needs

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field (May 2026 graduates welcome and encouraged to apply)
• CPA‑eligible (150 credit hours) is a strong plus—we’ll support you through the exam process
• Genuinely curious about technology and excited to learn new software, not intimidated by it
• Comfortable working in cloud‑based environments (QuickBooks Online, Google Workspace, Slack, etc.)—or eager to get there fast
• Strong attention to detail with a desire to ask “why are we doing it this way?” and suggest a better path
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—you’ll interact with clients early and often
• Self‑starter mindset: you don’t wait to be told what to learn next

Why This Role Is Different

• Most entry‑level accounting jobs slot you into a narrow lane. Here, you’ll get broad exposure across tax, advisory, and operations—and you’ll have a real voice in shaping how we use technology to deliver better results for clients.
• Direct mentorship — learn from practitioners, not training videos
• CPA exam support — study time, exam prep resources, and encouragement
• Modern tech stack — we are investing in tools that eliminate busywork
• Client‑facing from day one — build relationships, not just workpapers
• Industry specialization — develop expertise in high‑growth verticals like media & production

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive starting salary based on qualifications and location
• Health, dental, and vision benefits
• CPA exam support and continuing education stipend
• On‑site with flexibility as the firm’s work environment evolves
• Paid time off and firm holidays
