"No two days are the same! We work with a variety of growing, early stage companies, which allows each of us to constantly learn. There is a great balance of autonomous work and working together to solve problems. We have a great team who is always willing to help. " - Megan W.

"Love working at Founder's CPA! The people, work environment, work/life balance, emphasis on growth and professional development, and autonomy is what set's Founder's apart. The complete opposite of a "traditional accounting firm". The dynamic nature of work allows for exposure across different service lines and industries I typically wouldn't get elsewhere." -Colin B.
