Our specialty? We keep things consistent, make our clients' lives easier, and provide accurate accounting services. We respond to our clients quickly, bring them solutions, not problems, and act as a trusted advisor.

We are looking for a Senior Accountant who is organized and motivated to help our clients understand their financials and take the burden off them by avoiding mistakes.

Each of our team members show up daily with intention, purpose, and dressed to impress. We are a small but fierce team of high achievers and align on these Core Values:

Teamwork.

We work together as a team to exceed client expectations, delivering high-quality and professional work with exceptional customer service 100% of the time.

Making a Difference.

Humanity and Humility.

We believe in treating others with respect and compassion no matter what.

Trustworthy.

We act with integrity and keep our promises. Honesty and transparency are priorities both at work and in our personal lives.

Work with Us, Grow with Us

We expect continuous learning and self-improvement. For some, continuous learning is focused on becoming better versions of their current role. For others, the motivation is professional and personal development to earn the opportunity for promotion and increased responsibility.

Both types of employees are important to the success of OCB Accountants and are celebrated accordingly. As our Senior Accountant, you will have the opportunity to gain additional responsibilities and advance to a leadership role.
