Company Information

Navigator Recruiting client is a well-respected second generation 14-employee CPA firm in Colorado Springs offering audit and tax services companies in and around the Colorado Springs area. This is a growing CPA firm and there are opportunities to advance. Audit work encompasses about 90% of the work and will happen year-round for the most part, with special projects accounting for the other 10% of the job. The firm conducts a lot of audits for companies in construction, real estate, healthcare, government and employee benefit plans. If the chosen candidate had experience auditing some clients in these areas, that'd be helpful, but the firm will train the chosen individual. The company has excellent tenure among its employees. People stay here a long time because it's truly an incredible place to work. The company has a laid back environment and the partners take care of their employees. Benefits not only include healthcare paid at 100% for the employee but also a 401k plan with a match, vacation, holidays and the office closes at 1:00 pm on Fridays in the summer. The firm also allows employees to work from home some days and employees have the option to work four 10-hour shifts in the summer if they'd like as well, so employees can have many 3-days weekends.
