A bit about us

We are a well-established, 13-person public accounting firm located in Vancouver, Washington, specializing in tax planning and compliance for individuals, families, real estate investors, and closely held businesses. Our philosophy is centered on building long-term relationships with both our clients and our employees. Rather than focusing on high-volume transactional work, we take a consultative approach that allows our team to become trusted advisors. Our clients value accessibility, proactive planning, and personalized service, and we intentionally maintain a client roster that aligns with those values. If a client relationship isn't the right fit, we're comfortable parting ways in order to preserve the culture we've built. We're currently hiring due to the retirement of a long-tenured team member. This creates a unique opportunity for someone to step into an established book of business with existing client relationships already in place.

Career Growth

• Continuing education and professional credentials are fully supported.

Work-Life Balance

• Hybrid schedule with 2-3 days in the office.
• Flexible scheduling outside of tax season.
• Busy season averages approximately 40-45 hours per week.
• Leadership actively discourages unnecessary weekend work.

Performance-Based Compensation

• Competitive base salary ($80,000-$100,000 DOE)
• Revenue-sharing bonus program that rewards growth and productivity.

Outstanding Benefits

• 50% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums (employee coverage)
