Public accounting,
Public accounting,
without the part
everyone warns you about.
A capped busy season, clients you keep year over year, and a partner track with criteria written down rather than implied. We staff below the industry utilization standard on purpose.
Why here
The trade we made,
The trade we made,
stated plainly.
We are less profitable per person than a firm of our size could be. That is a deliberate choice: we carry more staff against the same client base so that busy season has a ceiling and continuity is actually possible.
What you get from that is the same clients returning to you each year. You stop relearning businesses and start understanding them, which is the difference between compliance work that grinds and advisory work that is genuinely interesting.
What you give up is the brand name on the CV and the very largest engagements. If that trade appeals, the conversation is worth having. If it does not, a national firm will serve you better and we will say so.
The offer
Six things
Six things
we actually do.
Everything below is written into the handbook rather than described at interview and quietly forgotten in February.
Busy season with a ceiling
We cap chargeable hours during busy season and staff to make the cap real. It is the reason our January to April retention is what it is.
CPA exam support
Review course paid, exam fees reimbursed, study leave granted, and a bonus on passing. No clawback if you leave afterwards.
Continuity, not rotation
You keep your clients year over year. Expertise compounds, and so does the relationship, which is far more satisfying work.
Hybrid, genuinely
Two days in the office, three wherever suits. Fieldwork travel within New England, rarely overnight.
Partner track that exists
Three of the current managers joined as associates. The criteria are written down and reviewed with you annually, not implied.
Health, retirement, leave
Firm-paid medical and dental, 401(k) with match, twenty-five days of leave plus the week between Christmas and New Year.
Open roles
Currently hiring.
Applications go directly to a partner, not to a queue. Expect a reply within a week, including if the answer is no.
Senior Tax Associate
Prepare and review entity and individual returns across a stable client group, with direct partner exposure from the first month.

Hiring process
Four conversations,
Four conversations,
about three weeks.
No case study written over a weekend, and no panel of nine. We will tell you where you stand after each stage.
01
Application
Read by a partner
Send a CV and a paragraph about what you want the next three years to look like. A cover letter written for us is worth more than one written for everyone.
02
First conversation
Thirty minutes, by video
Mutual. You should be interviewing us as hard as we are interviewing you, particularly about busy season, because that is where firms differ most.
03
Technical and team
Two hours, in the office
A technical discussion appropriate to the level, then time with the people you would work beside every day, without a partner in the room.
04
Offer
Within a week
Compensation band, review cycle and progression criteria in writing. We do not counter-offer against ourselves and we do not expect you to negotiate blind.

No role that fits?
Write anyway.
We hire ahead of need when the right person appears. A short note explaining what you want to be doing is enough to start.
