Key Responsibilities:

  • Manage incoming phone calls and emails with professionalism and efficiency

  • Prepare and mail tax documents, engagement letters, and client packets

  • Support basic reporting and data entry for bookkeeping or tax-related tasks

  • Monitor office supplies and ensure the workspace is clean, efficient, and organized

  • Anticipate administrative needs of the CPA and team, ensuring seamless daily operations

Preferred Skills & Qualifications:

  • Experience in a professional office setting, ideally in financial services or a client-based business

  • Quick learner with strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and CRM systems

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills — client experience is everything here

  • Ability to self-manage and prioritize multiple tasks independently

  • Comfort with new technology and willingness to learn industry tools quickly

Why Join Us:

  • Be part of a purpose-driven firm that helps individuals and businesses succeed

  • Opportunity to gain hands-on exposure to the world of accounting and financial consulting
