Great Place for High Net Individual Tax Engagements, Work in Progress for Commercial Engagements
Pros
- great exposure to high net worth engagements - lots of opportunities to work with upper management - you will be surrounded by smart, motivated and career driven individuals - You get the "Big Four feel" in a smaller setting - If you are all in on your career, you will be given the attention and guidance to advance - the Firm has a buddy, mentor system to encourage teamwork - the Firm sponsors plenty of after work events to celebrate hard work
Cons
- The commercial practice is still developing, there's simply not enough go-to experts to provide assistance. The commercial side is still developing a workpaper to be used Firm-wide. - There really isn't much work/life balance (unless your work is your life). If you have other priorities outside work (that have equal or greater importance), it is very difficult to balance your priorities without sacrificing something (sleep, time with loved ones). - Office environment from top to bottom consists of cliques. If you have no desire to "join" a clique, you will find yourself very isolated. - Quite behind on technology. The technology available is sufficient for high net worth individual clients, but it is currently not good enough for commercial engagements.
