As part of a merger that makes us one of the largest CPA firms in New York State and within the top 100 firms in the country, were aggressively seeking accountants with any level of experience. Our (Buffalo) branch’s primary focus is in Auditing & Assurance and consulting of Housing, Healthcare, Government, and Non-Profit entities, however we do have an expanding Tax base if thats where you feel comfortable. Salaries and bonus tend to be of the highest in the area but we also do a lot of travel so keep that in mind. PM me if you are interested and have any questions, and ill do my best to answer them fairly. ---

Haha let me know if anything changes 😉 > [@Joe](#): > > You guys do any consulting stuff? We do out of our Buffalo office currently, but its mostly consulting related to accounting systems as opposed to Finance and Business Analysis. I know however within the year when the full merger has gone through, the need for consultants will go up as that is a large function of the company who is acquiring us. If youre serious check back in a few months. ---

Nice. The more I see my bank overpay contractors from the Big 4 and other firms to come in and basically add no value to projects, the more I want to be one of them. ---

Yeah pre Dodd-Frank and CCAR I truly wanted to work for a bank with respect to how strong banking is in Buffalo but from what I read, theres just so much independence needed now that its just so much easier/cheaper to contract most everything out accounting-wise. Gets even funnier when you find out that those who are doing the contracting oftentimes cant even provide audit services because their services compromise independence… MOARRR JOOBBZZZ!!! ---
