Company Description

The Right People for the Right Jobs.

At HireEffect, we define "right" as a combination of culture fit, shared core values, and compatibility of needs. We are always looking for outstanding professionals - both for our internal roles - and for the clients whom we serve.

Our client, a highly reputable and growing CPA firm, offers a balanced, engaged, and meaningful culture with a competitive compensation package. They won’t use you up. In fact, they will support you in finding meaning and purpose in your work, not simply being a cog in a big accounting firm machine.

This is an on-site position.  Remote will not be considered.
