Better work/life balance than Big 4 but less pay

Assurance associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice sized clients. Hours are more reasonable. Opportunities to work near home office or travel. Efforts made by management to grow the firm.

Cons

Pay is lower than it should be and as a result, staff turnover is higher than necessary. Presence in central United States is lacking and firm name is not as well known.

Pros

The people are amazing from the admin staff to the partners. This is by far the best reason to work here. Tons of teams where everyone participates. All the benefits of a big 4 firm (Training, Benefits, Tuition Reimbursement etc.), without being worked to death. Don't get me wrong the hours during busy season aren't good, but way better than Big 4.

Cons

The biggest con is the busy season hours obviously, but if you want to get into public accounting than you already know what you're signing up for.
