Staff Accountant - Hybrid Work Setting

Grossberg Company LLP, a mid-sized Washington DC area CPA firm, is a premier provider of accounting, tax and business consulting services. We provide a solid, friendly work environment and are seeking Staff Accountants to join our team in North Bethesda, Maryland.

This position offers a hybrid work environment with opportunities to work remotely and in the office two days per week, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Staff accountants are integral members of our professional team. The work they perform is at the core of what we do for our clients. They are exposed to auditing, accounting and tax work providing support to a variety of client engagements and have many opportunities to put the business and accounting theory and knowledge learned in school into practice across multiple industries. The work of staff accountants is guided by an in-charge accountant who provides a brief in advance on the assignment, suggests expeditious methods, answers questions, decides on remedies when difficulties are encountered, and periodically reviews the staff accountant’s progress. The staff accountant ordinarily does not deal directly with clients without guidance and supervision by the in-charge accountant. Staff accountants are the main source of our firm’s future seniors, supervisors, managers, and partners.
