Founded 30 years ago by Paul Hood, our company has grown rapidly and now serves over 15,000 customers nationwide. To support our continued growth, we have completely modernized our business with technology and processes more akin to a SaaS company than a CPA firm.

This is a mid-level, high-impact individual contributor role that partners closely with the VP of Marketing to turn strategy into clear, connected client communications.
