The Role
We’re hiring an Associate for our East Lansing office to keep our clients’ books accurate and up to date. Bookkeeping and accounting are the core of the job. From there, we’ll train you in tax preparation, and as you develop you can also work on audit engagements.

Audit (as you grow)
- Help with audit fieldwork, testing, and documentation
- Gather and analyze client records to support engagements
Client & Team Support
- Communicate with clients by phone, email, and our client portal
- Keep client files and workflow organized in Practice CS
- Work with staff across our offices
What We’re Looking For

- Solid understanding of debits, credits, and account reconciliations
- QuickBooks experience
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple clients and deadlines
- Clear, professional communication with clients

- Familiarity with Accounting CS, UltraTax CS, or Practice CS is a bonus
- Interest in pursuing the EA or CPA credential is a strong plus
Schedule
Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, in office. Expect some overtime and Saturdays during tax season (January–April).
Benefits
