Seasonal Client Success Representative I - In-Office Support

About the Role

At PaulHood, we are transforming the mid-market CPA industry with an entirely new model.

You should feel comfortable navigating client systems, communicating with empathy, and contributing to a collaborative, fast-paced team environment.
