OWNERSHIP & WEALTH:
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

We're building Haga Kommer for the long term, and we believe the people helping build our future should have the opportunity to benefit from its success.

Haga Kommer is working toward an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), creating a path for employees to share in the value they help create.

INNOVATION: A Modern Approach

We're embracing AI and modern technology to reduce repetitive work, improve research and analysis, and create more time for the work that matters most… solving problems, advising clients, and building relationships.

You'll have the opportunity to work with evolving technology and help shape how innovation is applied within the firm. HK encourages employees to rethink traditional processes, improve how work gets done, and participate in building the future of the firm.

You shouldn't have to leave a firm to keep growing.

At Haga Kommer, employees aren't locked into one traditional career path. Strong performers have the opportunity to take ownership of larger client relationships, expand their technical skills, work on increasingly complex engagements, mentor others, and grow into senior or leadership roles as they're ready.

For someone who wants to continue developing in accounting, client advisory, or future leadership, this role provides meaningful exposure and room to grow.

You'll join a growing organization where you can have a voice and help shape both your career and the future of the practice.

How do we support that?

• Continuing education and certification reimbursement
• Leadership academy and development training
• Increasing client ownership and advisory exposure
• Opportunities to mentor and develop others
• Career paths into senior accounting and leadership roles

Build a meaningful career without missing the life you're building it for.
We recognize that work and life naturally weave together. Professional success shouldn't require sacrificing the relationships, experiences, and quality of life that matter most.

We work hard, take exceptional care of our clients, and believe our people should still have space to be present for life outside of work.

HK employees are supported by a culture focused on sustainable performance rather than constant burnout.

How do we support that?

• Hybrid flexibility
• Summer Hours
• Generous PTO with eligibility for flexible/unlimited PTO
• Volunteer paid time off
• Paid parental leave
• Medical, dental, vision, disability, AD&D, and life insurance
• 401(k) with 3% Safe Harbor contribution
