We make the same statement to our clients. And the two go hand in hand because, in both cases, each insures the other.
At Cornell Kahler Shidell & Mair, PLLP (CKSM), we realize that the only way to be successful is to provide our clients with quality services. To do it, we need to provide knowledgeable, dedicated and talented accountants with an environment where they are challenged and can prosper.
At CKSM, you're never just a number. We're a medium-size CPA firm that enables you to quickly "get into the thick of things." Unlike a "big" firm, our partners know the names of all the junior staff members and interact with them.
You'll advance within the firm at your own pace and receive recognition for your accomplishments and talents. Semi-annual evaluation conferences assist you in developing your skills as you become a valuable employee.
Getting into the thick of things means being exposed to all areas of accounting practice: audit, tax and management. You'll do it all at CKSM in your first year.
Working with the small-to-medium-size client offers you the opportunity to work with client management as you help them solve the accounting and reporting problems they face. Specific challenges include:
- Analyzing a client's operation
- Developing recommendations
- Preparing financial statements
- Preparing tax returns
Our commitment to your success is reflected in the high caliber of our continuing education program, which is developed from AICPA and MSCPA seminars, in-house seminars and programs and directed self-study.
The goals of the program are to:
- Improve your skills in applying accounting and auditing procedures and tax law
- Maintain the firm's high standards by keeping you abreast of current developments in the field
- Develop you as a specialist so you can help meet the firm's changing needs
- Help you comply with all continuing education requirements of appropriate professional organizations and state boards
Each year, a continuing education program will be developed specifically for you to meet these goals and to the extent possible, meet your own career goals.
We feel that a growing organization like CKSM offers an excellent opportunity for the person looking for a career in public accounting. We invite you to meet with our representative to discuss how CKSM can be part of your future success.
If you are interested in a chance to provide quality service to small and medium-sized businesses and organizations, and would like to hear in detail what we have to offer, please send your placement credentials and transcript to:
