Additional Information
Unlike some larger firms, WFFA does not treat its employees like expendable drones who can be burnt out and replaced. A typical day ranges from 9:00 AM to 5:30/6 PM, and candidates can expect a busy-season that is significantly milder than that of a typical Big-4 employee.
It is important to the firm that employees are not forced to sacrifice their personal lives for 1/4 of every year. Employees are a long-term investment, and it is the firm's goal to create and nurture an environment where they can lay out and follow a clear career path as their experience and knowledge-base continues to grow.
All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines. At WFFA, we believe great work happens when people feel welcomed, respected, and supported. We value diverse backgrounds and perspectives and encourage everyone to show up as their authentic selves.
