Are you in your first couple of years in public accounting and wondering how anyone actually sustains this?

You have just come out the other side of busy season.

Long hours, constant deadlines, and stepping up whenever you were needed.

You have learned a lot. Probably more in the last few months than most roles give you in a year.

But now things have slowed down a bit, you might finally have a second to think.

Was that actually sustainable?

And do you really want to do it all again next year, in the same place?

The experience you have gained this busy season is valuable. No question.

But it also shows you what works, and what does not.

This role is a bit of a reset.

It is with a mid-sized CPA firm where things are run properly:

Busy season is controlled, not chaos

People actually support each other

You are developed, not just relied on

So instead of just getting through each year, you are actually building towards something.

What is different here?

Clear progression into Senior and beyond

Managers who actually have time to support you

A team that works together, not against each other

Who does well here?

CPA or EA qualified, or working towards it

Someone who is motivated, but not willing to burn out to get there

Someone who values a good team over internal competition

This is usually the point where people start thinking about a move.

Busy season is done, and you can finally take a step back and ask if this is right long term.

If it is not, it might be worth a conversation.

The apply button is not a big commitment. It just starts the conversation.

If you would rather speak to someone, even better. Give me a call on .

I start at 6am EST, so happy to chat before your day kicks off. After 5pm EST works too, although I might be slightly grumpy.

Only ticking 80 to 90 percent of the boxes? Good. Apply anyway.

The firms we work with are not looking for perfect resumes. They are looking for the right people.

Do not overthink it. Worst case, you have a useful conversation. Best case, things get interesting.
