Work With DeLong & Brower, P.C.
Tax Manager (CPA) - Ownership Opportunity - Public Accounting
WHO WE ARE
For more than 35 years, DeLong & Brower P.C. has been a full-service CPA firm specializing in audit, tax, accounting, and bookkeeping consulting, financial advisory, and more. We're thorough, professional, respectful of one another, and carefully attend to the unique needs of each of our clients.
As a team, we're driven by integrity, personal accountability, and an understanding that with every interaction we're building lasting relationships. Our objective is to help our clients effectively reach their financial goals, and to show up as warm, hospitable, patient human beings they can rely on to really talk and trust.
As a firm, we take great pride in supporting out community by participating in local boards, donating to scholarship funds and other organizations, and volunteering our time where we can be of service.
WHO YOU ARE
This full-time, onsite role requires an extensive skill set to match the variety and depth of services DeLong & Brower offers. Our ideal candidate is a self-starter who pursues excellence without being asked and thrives in an in-person team environment where ideas flow easily, and camaraderie is part of the day.
People love working with you because you are grounded, genuine, and true to your word. You never appear too busy for a client or coworker, because one of your gifts is easily managing several clients and projects at a time.
When analyzing and resolving issues, you create trust and clarity for your clients through thoughtful solutions and grounded communication. Above all, you're a positive influence on any environment and have a true heart's desire to contribute and lead - not just from behind a screen, but shoulder to shoulder with your team.
While this role is designed for someone at the supervisor or manager level, it also holds a longer-term potential. For the right person who demonstrates leadership, impact, and a clear commitment to the firm's future, partnership or ownership would be a natural next step.
