Co-op, Marketing & Brand (January 2027)

Who we are

Let's start with this: you probably don't picture an accounting firm as a place where brand, creativity, and big ideas live. Davidson is here to change that.

We're in the middle of a major evolution. New leadership energy, a newly launched brand, and a firm-wide focus on growth, client experience, and doing things differently. This year is about momentum. We've just rebranded, and now we're rolling that brand out into the world, shaping how we show up, how we tell our story, and how we support our clients as they grow.

We're entrepreneurial, street-smart and a people-first organization. We care deeply about quality and professionalism, but we're not buttoned up for the sake of it. We believe trust is built through courage, connection, and action, and our marketing team plays a critical role in bringing that to life.

If you're looking for a place where you can actually do meaningful work, have your ideas heard, and help shape how a firm grows, this is it.

Who you are

You're curious. You notice brands. You like figuring out how things work and how they could work better.

You're the kind of person who's excited by a blank page and a new tool. You're comfortable jumping between writing copy, designing something sharp, helping run an event, or experimenting with automation or AI to make a process smarter. You're professional, but not stiff. Confident, but collaborative.

You might not have thought an accounting firm could be a fun, fast-moving place to build marketing skills. That's exactly why you should take a closer look.
