Job description

QRGA Certified Public Accountants is a small, full-service firm located in Norwood, MA that currently has some big opportunities. We are a growing firm that is expanding our team of tax professionals, particularly as we develop the leadership team of the future. Why should you choose QRGA, LLP over other firms in the area? First, you will work on a variety of clients who you will build close relationships with by working with them year-round. You won't be pigeon-holed to one industry or one service so the variety of work will keep you challenged and rewarded. Second, we have broken the mold of typical public accounting firms so you can achieve success at home and in the office. This also means that you will be able to "unplug" during off hours and vacations - something not always achievable at other firms. Third, you will work with an amazing team of professionals and feel empowered to contribute at a high level so you can expeditiously advance your career.

Our firm is ideally suited for the professional who has worked in public accounting and loves what they do but struggles to achieve work life balance. Or, the professional who works in one practice area and has a strong desire to diversify. Additionally, with all of the consolidation in public accounting, candidates come to us when their current firm has grown too large and they desire a more intimate working environment with attainable career growth. We encourage these accountants not to leave public, but instead try a different firm that delivers on their promise of a better accounting career. We have also successfully employed working moms and dads who need the flexibility to work part-time or be present at home while still enjoying a fulfilling career.

The leadership team at QRGA understands the demands of public accounting and has worked hard to turn dreams of work/life balance into a reality. We work hard so we can enjoy the flexibility we need to retain employees for their entire career, not just a few years.
