Professional Opportunities      

Smaller CPA firms offer many attractive career advantages for dedicated professionals. Because of their size, it is easier for small firms to adapt to the aspirations of individual staff members. What types of opportunities will be available to you?  When you are meeting with firm leaders as part of your job search, be sure to ask about the following:

• Access to top people  
  At many smaller CPA firms, staff members directly work with partners and other senior staff, on engagements in the office or in the field with clients. This offers a great chance to learn about clients and their businesses, and about the firm’s services. Many smaller practices also offer formal and informal coaching and mentorship programs, in which young CPAs can turn to firm veterans for career insights and advice.      
• Variety and responsibility  
  At smaller firms, staff typically get to sample different types of business challenges as part of the learning process. Many young CPAs find early on that they are taking responsibility for various aspects of an engagement and working directly with client personnel. In addition, smaller firms can adapt assignments to your own personal interest and strengths, rather than asking staff to follow a set, one-size-fits-all career track.      
• Respect for staff opinions  
  CPAs don’t simply consult with business owners – they are business owners themselves. In smaller practices, the partners often include staff members in their brainstorming and encourage them to share their ideas about the firm’s future. You will have the chance to be a key player on the team, not simply one of thousands of employees.      
• Exceptional Training  
  At many small firms, staff members are involved in an engagement from start to finish, instead of working on just one facet of a project. This makes it possible to gain a broad understanding of business processes during your career. In addition to the best on-the-job opportunities, CPA firms also provide great training and continuing education.      

• Community involvement  
  CPAs are business leaders who generally are very involved in their communities. In many cases, even relatively new staff members have the chance to represent the firms at business events and meet other local business leaders. CPA firms also are very much involved in community volunteer efforts.
