Senior Accountant

Senior Accountant

Are You Ready for a Different Kind of Accounting Firm?

Are you an accountant looking for a change? Feeling burned out by the traditional accounting industry and wondering when you’ll find the right fit? Maybe you love accounting, formulas, and numbers, but don’t love the cold offices and rigid corporate culture that often come with the profession.

At AM CPA, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between a career you enjoy and an environment where you can be yourself. We’re looking for a Senior Accountant who wants to build their career in a fast-paced, collaborative, and genuinely enjoyable environment.

You’ll notice right away that AM CPA is not your typical accounting firm. We’re proud to call Kansas City’s Crossroads Arts District home. And yes—we actually enjoy coming to work. You’ll find plenty of collaboration and laughter and a team that takes our work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

Work With Clients You’ll Recognize

We work with a diverse group of small and mid-sized businesses, including many local companies and brands you may already know and support. There’s something especially rewarding about helping businesses thrive when you can see their impact in your own community.

Our broad client base also means you’ll work across a variety of industries, gain valuable experience, and continually learn something new.

This Isn't Your Traditional Accounting Firm

If you're looking for a fun, fast-paced, progressive, and open-minded workplace where individuality is valued and people are encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work, we'd love to hear from you.

If you're looking for the same old accounting firm, we're probably not the right fit. If you're looking for something different, you just might have found it.
