How you would make a difference:

You would be joining an organization that encourages learning, displays team work, and supports an inclusive and collaborative culture.

Our inside sales consultants help small business owners by determining which of our accounting services best suits their business needs. We offer four different services which include accounting, tax, bookkeeping and payroll. Many small business owners open their businesses not realizing that the world of accounting and taxes can be very complex and cumbersome. The goal is to help take this burden off of a small business owner's hands so they can focus on what they are good at, making money and growing their business! The best part about this is that we offer a service that people actually need.

We provide the support to make you successful! 

While it is necessary to have previous sales experience, our comprehensive training program will set you up for success in this type of specific sale. We have dramatically downsized our sales classes in order to ensure our trainers can better serve your needs as a trainee.
