team that values collaboration, celebrates success, and recognizes the contributions of each member. Join us to enjoy:

• Supervise and mentor accounting technicians, fostering their growth and development.
• Provide clear, actionable financial guidance to small business clients.
• Contribute to process improvements and deliver exceptional client service.
