Accounting Associate
About Us
EJT CPA is a modern, boutique CPA firm that serves small business owners, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. We combine traditional accounting services (tax, bookkeeping, compliance) with forward-looking advisory and financial operations (automation, dashboards, CFO-level guidance).
Unlike large firms, we keep our team lean so that every associate gets direct client exposure, meaningful work, and mentorship from the firm’s founder.

Prepare individual and small business tax returns (1040, 1120-S, Schedule C).
Assist with extensions, estimates, and IRS/state correspondence.
Financial Operations & Automation
Learn to implement tools like Ramp, Zapier, and Monday.com.
Support system builds that streamline client financial workflows.
Client Communication
Draft client emails, gather source documents, and help with onboarding.
Continuous Learning
Participate in weekly check-ins with the CPA.
Pursue CPA licensure with firm-provided support.

Excellent written and verbal communication.
Organized, detail-oriented, and proactive.
