This is primarily a training and orientation period. It is to be used for the newly-hired professional staff member to learn the basic systems and procedures of the Firm. An appropriate amount of time during this period will be devoted to formal training courses and for on-the-job training by upper level staff and principals. During the first six months of a Staff Accountant's employment, he/she will be assigned to a Senior or higher level staff person who will act as an Advisor. The Advisor will aid the Staff Accountant in becoming familiar with the Firm's systems, operations and relationships. We expect that the Staff Accountant will seek out his/her Advisor for professional and personal concerns. The Staff Accountant is responsible to the in-charge or client administrator of the engagement to which he/she is assigned. The work performed will be closely supervised with coaching and training given as needed. It is expected that the Staff Accountant will be given training and an opportunity to perform the principal auditing functions, in a progression of assignments. During the first year, the Staff Accountant may be involved in the preparation of individual tax returns with decreasing direct supervision. He/she may also assist in the preparation of corporate, partnership, and other types of returns. It is not anticipated that Staff Accountants will have unsupervised direct client contact, nor will they normally carry out client interviews regarding tax return preparation. Newly hired personnel will be assigned at the Staff Accountant level for a minimum of twelve months and generally no longer than two (2) years. To qualify for advancement the Staff Accountant will have demonstrated a readiness to assume significant auditing and tax responsibilities without on-going direct supervision, the ability to control their own time effectively with other firm members and client personnel, and a generally constructive attitude. All professional staff members of the Firm are classified as "professional" and no overtime compensation is paid. However, bonuses are paid once a year when profits are available. |
