About the Position
_HYBRID HOME/OFFICE POSITION_
Pickler Accounting Advisors is seeking an experienced CPA to positively represent our company to prospective and existing clients, and work with a close-knit team to provide outstanding service.
The CPA of the accounting firm serves a dual role. First and foremost, in a small accounting firm, the CPA serves as the main source of labor for the office, both generating business and then performing the work that comes from new and existing clients. Additionally, to the extent that Pickler Accounting Advisors might occasionally provide services to its sister companies, Pickler Wealth Advisors and The Pickler Law Firm, it is the CPA's responsibility to perform or delegate those services as appropriate and work with the leaders of the other companies as needed to accomplish all goals.
This position demands all appropriate licensing/certifications and knowledge necessary to begin immediately working with our existing client base. This crucial position requires advanced knowledge of QuickBooks, Microsoft Office Suite, and other applicable technology.
As CPA of Pickler Accounting Advisors, you will also collaborate in a team-based environment.
This is a great opportunity for a talented individual who thrives in a fast-paced, professional environment, and who excels at networking and developing strong professional relationships.
