If you want flexibility that is actually real, not just promised, this is worth a look
A lot of small firm roles talk a good game on flexibility.
Very few genuinely deliver it.
This one does.
This is a 3 person independent CPA firm in Plano, TX that has grown steadily through referrals, good client work, and long term relationships. No aggressive growth targets. No churn and burn compliance setup. Just a solid client base, looked after properly by people who know them well.
The owner has built a strong book of high net worth individuals and families. The work is varied, often more personal, and goes beyond simply getting returns out the door. As the client base continues to grow, they need someone experienced who can take ownership, build trusted relationships, and be a steady pair of hands.
You will not be boxed into a narrow role. You will be trusted to handle a mix of tax and bookkeeping work, speak directly with clients, and manage your workload in a way that works for both the firm and your life outside it.
And the flexibility is genuine.
Whether you want full time, part time, or simply need your hours to fit more sensibly around real life, there is room to shape this in a way that works.

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

Sitting at ~87% of the spec? Perfect. Apply anyway. The CPA firms I partner with want interesting people, not corporate clones.
