      Senior Staff Accountant - Audit/Tax/Consulting, Business Development, Social Media Director

      As a senior staff accountant for a small locally based firm, I am able to wear many hats and tackle many more projects and duties than other accountants are typically given the opportunity in a larger firm. As I am essentially the audit department, I am responsible for planning and performing audits from start to finish; including analytics, composition of the final audit report, communications to management, and financial statements composition. I am also an integral part of the firm's marketing team, responsible for everything from brochure composition to cold calling prospective clients and implementing the firm's web based marketing campaign; including SEO efforts and other social media techniques.The diverse client base here has exposed me to a broad range of accounting and tax issues including trust and estate, court accounting, retirement plan accounting, etc. Show less
