Who we are
At ConnectCPA, we’re not your traditional accounting firm. We are an online/virtual firm, paperless, and tech-savvy. We are growing rapidly and searching for a team member who meshes with our unique firm culture.
We are a Licensed, Chartered Professional Accounting (CPA) firm that operates with a startup mentality: we experiment, we collaborate, we embrace new technologies, we automate, and we actually like Mondays (most of the time).
We’re big believers in working smart, not just hard. We wear hoodies, not suits. We talk on Slack more than email. And we’re constantly on the lookout for new tools and better ways of doing things. We’ve made growth and innovation a part of our DNA.

- Fully paid for health, dental, and vision benefits. Plus access to virtual healthcare
- Fridays off in July & August (yep, paid!)

- Your voice matters. From improving workflows to shaping our culture, everyone has a seat at the table.
- Chill, inclusive vibes. We’re diverse, easy-going, and allergic to corporate drama.
- No formalwear required. Hoodies welcomed, PJ pants encouraged.
