What’s cool about this one is the mentorship—there’s a real opportunity to grow quickly, and the path to partnership is much faster than what you’d find at a larger firm.
The managing partners are super down-to-earth and genuinely passionate about what they’ve built over the last 40 years. This isn’t just a tax prep role—it’s true consulting and strategy work. And the best part? You don’t need to already have that experience. They’ll train you and get you there.
