WHY ARE WE HIRING?
We are very fortunate in that we are currently facing a very healthy new client pipeline due to word-of-mouth referrals from our existing clients and referral partners. We are looking to control this growth by strategically hiring the right professionals to join our team. Our short-term goal is to double in size within the next two to three years. Our long-term plan (for now) is to maintain the feel of a smaller boutique-style CPA firm by employing the right team of high caliber professionals to serve the perfect client base, which we will eventually limit with strict client acceptance standards.
