Description
About Founder's CPA
Founder's CPA was founded in 2017 and is now an industry-leading accounting firm located in Chicago that focuses on outsourced accounting, tax, and CFO services for venture-backed startups.
We refuse to accept the inefficient and burdensome "old school" approach to accounting and offer a modern approach that improves the client experience.
This approach enables us to provide deeper and more meaningful value in our role as a trusted advisor.We're looking for curious and reliable team members who share our values (see blow) to join the team
What We Value
We value diversity and the unique perspectives and strengths each team member brings to our firm.
Together, we work in alignment with our 5 core values:
About the Role
Our cross-functional Associate role will be tasked with providing both accounting services and tax services to our client base. The role may also have exposure to our digital assets and CFO service lines.
Specialization in a specific service line or continuation of the cross-functional path will be evaluated in the future after the cross-functional Associate has had the opportunity to gain experience in both areas.
What You'll DoDuties will include, but are not limited to:
The ideal candidate exhibits the following skills and/or characteristics:
A perk we like to highlight is work life balance.
We recognize this is an industry with a reputation for spending long hours at the office, and we try to do things a little differently.
Firstly, we encourage our team to work from where they work best, whether that be at home or in our Chicago office.
While we may request in office meetings from time to time, we encourage our team to control where and how they work.
Additionally, we strive to provide each team member with a reasonable workload. Based on internal surveys, during the off-season, employees typically work an average 40 hours per week.We recognize that balance shifts during busy seasons, and while dedication is crucial, we strive to maintain a healthy equilibrium.
Even during peak periods, employees typically average 50-55 hours per week.We believe that a harmonious work-life balance not only enhances individual satisfaction but also contributes to a thriving and motivated workforce.
Other perks include:
This position is for immediate hire, paid commensurate with the candidate's experience.
