Staff Accountant

About us Pradip Patel and Company is an accounting firm specializing in corporate tax for businesses of all sizes, and we have clients in over 35 states in many industries but primarily retail. This is an in-person job. The dress code is casual. Some people wear slacks and shirts, others wear t-shirts. The hours are fixed, as office hours usually are. 9am-530pm. Start and end times can be flexible by up to 30min. We consider our firm to be a "lifestyle firm" which to us means, you can actually have a life outside of work! All employees are capped at 40 hours a week, and other than the partners, no one typically works weekends, or beyond office hours, even during tax season. There has been a rare case we asked the staff to come in on weekend, but in the last 20 years it probably happened twice.
