Cottrill Arbutina: Everything You Ever Wanted in a Career:

  • Top compensation

  • Advancement opportunities

  • Challenging work

  • Variety of clients

  • Excellent training

  • Great benefits

  • A personal life

Work in a professionally challenging environment – Cottrill Arbutina team members work closely with school district and government entities, credit unions and non-profit-organizations as well as entrepreneurs and owners of closely held businesses, providing solutions to the many challenges they face. You will be directly involved with a wide cross-section of businesses and industries – and will be encouraged to develop specialties in niches that interest you. You will be equipped with the latest in technological advances to give you all the tools you need to help clients' success. You will never be bored!

Act as a trusted adviser to entrepreneurs - You've heard the horror stories of young accountants working for months in a back room, day after day, on the same audit. Our team members have a totally different experience. You will quickly find yourself working directly with entrepreneurs themselves, becoming their trusted adviser. You will learn more than you ever imagined.

Be part of a worldwide network of CPA firms - Cottrill Arbutina is an member of CPA Connect, a network with more than 2,500 CPAs in 75 large independent CPA firms and 220 local firms from coast to coast across the United States. In affiliation with Horwath International, the CPA Connect network also includes more than 10,000 professionals in 85 countries around the world. Our CPAs have access to the knowledge and resources of any of these professionals across the country or around the world – at any time.

Earn top compensation and advance faster - You will earn excellent compensation and receive a first-class benefits package. The major difference between working for Cottrill Arbutina and a larger or even Big Four firm is that you will have more opportunities for promotion sooner, with a corresponding increase in salary. If you prove to be talented and qualified, the partner track is more attainable at our firm – and in a considerably shorter time period – than elsewhere.

Learn from experienced professionals - As you well know, there is no substitute for experience. You'll be working side by side with some of the most knowledgeable CPAs in the business, including longtime partners with our firm and in very exciting, cutting edge industries and specialties – something you're not likely to experience with a larger firm. CPE training opportunities are also provided for every level of professional at our firm, many by the CPAmerica network whose courses have been rated among the best in the nation.

Enjoy work/life balance - At Cottrill Arbutina, you'll quickly learn that you are not a number. You're a top priority. We care about our employees and their families. Our focus is not only on quality of work, but on quality of life. We are dedicated to developing and sustaining a healthy balance between your career and your life. We want our team members to be energized, not exhausted!

Work with people you respect - You will enjoy a very pleasant work environment, surrounded by other like-minded team members. We hire only intellectually stimulating, honest, contributing members of their profession and the community. Everyone at the firm is on a friendly, first-name basis, including the partners, with a relaxed dress code. The firm also sponsors regular activities to help employees relax, both during and after tax season, as well as a variety of social activities that include families.

Qualities we seek – Cottrill Arbutina always is looking for team members who are willing to strive to meet our clients' goals as well as their own. Success is cultivated from within.  Here are some of the qualities we look for in our professionals:

  • Intellectual competence — learning and processing new information, analyzing problems and new situations, and exercising sound judgment
  • Leadership skills — motivating, influencing, and providing direction to others
  • Team skills — interacting and cooperating with others to achieve common goals
  • Flexibility — shifting priorities, adapting to new working situations and hours, and balancing possible setbacks
  • Motivation — setting high performance standards for yourself, and exceeding them
  • Communication skills — effectively articulating your thoughts and ideas and proactively listening to others
  • Prioritization skills — organizing, planning and juggling multiple priorities and assignments to maximize productivity
  • Customer service focus — developing, maintaining, and ensuring the high quality of client or customer relationships
  • Technical skills — acquiring and using specific knowledge of the technical tools required for the position
  • Selling and influencing ability — identifying and following through on opportunities to deliver or improve business services or initiatives

Through our guidance, we help you to identify and pursue the opportunities that will help you reach your fullest potential.

Learn from others. You will team up with colleagues from different specialties, with different life experiences and knowledge, within different business environments, helping to expand and accelerate your learning experience.

Use our tools. We will make sure you have the right tools to build a great career. Our affiliation with CPA Connect affords you instant access to over 2,000 CPAs at more than 70 firms across the United States. In addition we have the ability to network with 10,000 CPAs and consultants around the world through our affiliation with Horwath International.

Enhance your value. Growth is accelerated by challenge, and you will have plenty of opportunity on new and varied engagements. Throughout the engagements you will be able to further groom your skill and expertise.
