How to apply (without the fuss)

Most people treat job ads like a box-ticking ritual. Don’t.

If this resonates, apply. The button isn’t a marriage proposal it’s a conversation starter.

Prefer the human touch? Call me: 972-807-7244. If the platform hides it, I’m Alex Alcock (Distinct) on LinkedIn. I’m around from 6am CST and after 5pm CST.

Only at ~87% of the spec? Perfect. Apply anyway. The CPA firms I work with want interesting, capable people, not carbon copies.

Don’t overthink it. Worst case: a helpful chat about your next step. Best case: the role that gets you unstuck.
