Job description

Tax Senior | West Chester, PA | Hybrid
There's a CPA firm in West Chester with around 50 employees, and I think they've got a few things right that some of the bigger firms could probably learn from.
For starters, they don't expect you to donate your evenings to the firm for free.
Anything you work over 40 hours can be taken back as PTO or paid out.
Which, when you're working 55 to 60 hours during busy season, can make quite a difference.
They also seem to have worked out that being physically present in an office isn't necessarily the same thing as being productive.
Some of their people only go in 1 or 2 days a week. Others prefer going in more often. Both are fine.
The firm itself is an interesting size.
50 people, 10 Partners, and clients ranging from small local businesses to companies turning over $3 billion.
So you get some substantial client work, but without the layers of management that can come with a much larger firm.
They're also growing through acquisition and have introduced a Non Equity Partner track to givepeople another route to progress.
A few practical details:Work from home most of the week if you preferAdditional hours paid out or banked as PTO5% profit sharing contribution to your 401(k)Employee health insurance covered by the firm2 to 3 weeks vacation, 6 sick days and 9 holidays
They're looking for a Tax Senior with public accounting experience.
And before you ask, yes, there is a busy season. February to May, typically 55 to 60 hours.
I'm not going to sell you a fantasy about never working late. I'd rather you knew what you were getting into.
But I do think there's something quite appealing about a firm that recognises your time has a value, gives you flexibility, and has enough variety in its clients to keep things interesting.
You might be earning decent money already. You might like your colleagues. You might not have even considered moving.
That's fine.
But if there's a chance you could get paid more, have a little more control over your week, and actually get something back for the additional hours you're working, isn't it worth finding out?
One last thing.
You don't need to tick every box to get in touch.
And applying doesn't mean you're committing to an interview, let alone a new job.
It just means you're curious.
Call me on if you'd rather have a chat.
I'm usually working from 6am EST, and I'm around after 5pm too, although the conversation might require a little more coffee.
The worst that happens is we have a chat and decide it's not for you.
No great disaster.
