Service Delivery team members will also be required to travel based on business and client needs. Schellman is the only Top 100 CPA firm to specialize in IT Audit and Cybersecurity. Not all CPA firms are created equally, and we pride ourselves on our differences, including promotions only from within, the ability to contribute and be heard, and most importantly, great work-life balance. The biggest difference? We don’t perform any remediation or consulting. Our pace is fast and therefore, we are not the best fit for everyone. As we continue to be named one of the fastest-growing CPA firms, we are adding to our teams and currently conducting interviews. If you’ve always thought of yourself as someone who sets themselves apart from the crowd, as someone who likes to be visible, have their contributions noted, moves quickly and likes the feeling of completion, you’re the exact type of candidate we’re searching for.
