This is not a traditional accounting firm — and we don’t want it to be.
We’ve watched too many talented accountants burn out at firms that treated them like output machines. That’s not what we’re building here. We’re building a place where people feel genuinely supported, where growth is steady and intentional rather than chaotic, and where your work fits into your life — not the other way around. Leadership development isn’t a perk here. It’s non-negotiable.
Everything we do is guided by five core values:
- Integrity — doing the right thing, every time
- Growth — for our people, our clients, and the business
- Purpose — mission over motion
- Proactiveness — anticipating needs before they become problems
- Positivity — showing up with gratitude, optimism, and belief
We hire, promote, and lead through these values — not just performance metrics.
All of us together form our culture. Great work happens when people feel trusted, challenged, and cared for. Our team works 90% remotely with strong connection and real collaboration. Expectations are clear, processes are documented, and leadership is genuinely supportive. We gather in person quarterly for connection, learning, and fun — because relationships matter even in a remote environment. We know that being great at accounting doesn’t automatically make someone a great leader, so we invest intentionally in developing both.
We’re serious about doing excellent work — and equally serious about sustainability.
Our team typically works:
- An average of 40 hours per week
- With core hours from 9am–3pm and flexibility around them
- With generous paid time off, sick days, and company holidays
During busy seasons, expectations are clear and reasonable — not reactive or excessive. We believe long-term success requires rest and balance.
If you want to grow here, we will support you.
Our team benefits from:
- Weekly technical training
- Monthly leadership and advisory skill development
- Conference attendance and continued education
- Clear paths for advancement and expanded responsibility
We aim for long-term relationships with our team — not short-term output. Average tenure matters to us, and we build our systems and leadership around that belief.
You’ve probably felt underutilized at a firm that just wanted you to process work and move on. You ask questions your clients haven’t thought to ask yet. You care about the person behind the P&L, not just the numbers on it. You’re grounded in integrity, genuinely motivated by helping others feel confident and supported, and you’re interested in building something that lasts rather than chasing quick wins. If that sounds like you, there’s a pretty good chance you’d love it here.
"The thing I tell people when they ask what it's like to work at Step by Step is that it is a highly team orientated and people focused environment. Everyone strives to make sure that each person feels comfortable, respected, and valued, regardless of their role."
– Noah
We are building something long-term and deeply intentional. Our 2035 Vivid Vision outlines how we plan to grow as a firm, how we invest in our people, how we serve clients with excellence and care, and how we give back to our communities. It’s not a dream — it’s a blueprint. Every new team member plays a role in bringing it to life.
We’re building something that lasts. If you’re the kind of person who wants to be part of that – let’s talk.
