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.
