    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 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:


    • #FIOTA (Figure it out then ask) - By embracing an entrepreneurial mindset, you can exhibit a natural curiosity to develop answers to questions and understand why one way could be better than another.
    • Authentic Relationships - Care deeply for others, but be willing to challenge them directly to be the best version of themselves, while also embracing constructive feedback as an opportunity to grow.
    • Accountability - Produce a product that you're proud of, but know your own limitations. Trust in your coworkers' abilities and the reliability of others.
    • Teach Others to Fish - Share knowledge while being a thoughtful communicator. Be patient, understanding, and aware that everyone may not be as capable as you are.
    • Thoughtful Communication - Communication should strive to be appropriately delivered, timely, thorough, and solutions-focused.

    Perks

    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:

    • Casual dress
    • Competitive compensation and benefits package, including profit sharing bonuses
    • Autonomy of work and ability to grow quickly within the company
    • A company culture that places emphasis on individual career goals
    • Opportunity to work on a variety of innovative clients in emerging industries
    Compensation

    This position is for immediate hire, paid commensurate with the candidate's experience. Our target range for the role is 75k-100k.
