Who We Are
Kirk CPA Professional Corporation is a small, but mighty, online accounting company providing monthly services to entrepreneurs. We’re hard-working and detail-oriented, but laid-back and don’t believe in accounting emergencies. We’re a remote team and believe in setting our own hours while ensuring we get our work done on time.
What’s in It for You
We’re a small team which means you’ll have a real impact on the way we do things rather than be a tiny cog in a big machine. Because we value a flexible work environment, you’ll be offered a super flexible work schedule and challenging work.
This is all done remotely so you can work from anywhere and you have the freedom to choose your hours. The CEO does not like to micromanage and empowers you to reach your deadlines and goals in the way that works best for you.
