A bit about usWe are a full-service, independently owned CPA firm with approximately 100 professionals operating across 30+ states. While we're mid-sized by headcount, our client base is anything but: we regularly compete with Big 4 firms on complex engagements, and many of our senior team members have Big 4 backgrounds. They made the move to get the complexity without the grind. Our practice spans tax, audit & assurance, transaction services, and consulting, with deep expertise in business tax, particularly pass-through entities, closely held businesses, multi-state structures, and HNWI.
We've been serving a broad range of outstanding clients for over 40 years, and we're growing quickly. Our team is fully distributed with professionals across the country.
- Big firm work. Regional firm life.
- We work on the kind of complex, multi-layered engagements that typically require a Big 4 badge to access — pass-through entities, complex partnerships, S-Corps, multi-state LLCs, C-Corps, and HNWI.
- The difference is our workload and culture. Busy season runs 50-55 hours per week; total annual hours are approximately 2,300. That's it.
- Partners who are actually invested in you.
- Our partners are hands-on and genuinely committed to staff development. Advancement here is real, not a talking point — and you'll have direct access to the people who can make it happen.
- Compensation that reflects your value.
- Base: $125,000 - $175,000 depending on experience
- Annual bonus: $10,000 - $35,000
- Work from home allowance: $3,600 - $6,000/year
- Overtime paid for hours over 40 at staff and senior levels — rare in public accounting and a major driver of our retention
- Medical: 90% of employee premiums paid by the firm; 80% for dependents
- Dental, vision, long-term disability, and life insurance: 100% firm-paid for employees; vision covered for dependents
- HSA and Section 125 plans available
- 401(k) with 100% match up to 4% of compensation, plus discretionary profit-sharing contributions
- 4 weeks PTO for managers and above, plus standard holidays
- With a national team, we're set up for remote work. Core hours fall between 7am-6pm PST with 8 hours of overlap expected — flexible within that window.
