Why Cohen & Company is The Employer of Choice for Private Company Accountants

Find your next senior or manager-level opportunity.

View Opportunities
Stay Connected

Cohen & Company is the employer of choice for accounting professionals. Named one of America’s Best Tax and Accounting Firms by Forbes, Cohen & Company offers assurance, tax and advisory services to clients throughout the U.S. and worldwide. Our 750+ dedicated professionals serve a broad range of clients, from privately held companies and their owners; to public and private funds, advisers and fund service providers within the investment industry; to Fortune 1000 multinational and institutional enterprises. 

But being the employer of choice means going BEYOND rankings and numbers. In fact, it depends on it.   

We value you, your ideas and the flexibility you need to develop your career while you live your life. Our engaging culture focuses on what you need while you service some of the best clients in the U.S. Find your voice with us and make an impact from Day 1. 

Here are just a few of the reasons our people come and stay with us:  

  • Benefit from one-on-one attention. As the entrepreneur of your own career, you’ll have access to leadership and ongoing mentoring. You’ll also notice the transparency we offer into the firm’s strategic goals and our real commitment to authentic communication. 
  • Opportunities to operate at a higher level no matter your title. Join senior members of your team at client meetings to help develop executive skills; network and work directly with clients from Day 1; and more.  
  • Collaborate and share ideas in a firm that listens and responds to what their people think and need. Just ask our “senior bootcamp” graduates who started their own roadshow to gather feedback and ideas from staff and seniors across our offices — and the opportunity to report out to the executive leadership team and see real results.  
  • Collaborate with clients before, during and after the audit, thanks to less red tape and more focus on hands-on learning and communication.  
  • Work with the best. Our caliber of people is unmatched and is represented at the highest levels of the AICPA, Center of Audit Quality and more.  
  • Flexible development plans that allow you to be up for promotion when you’re ready, not according to a rigid advancement process.  
  • Flexible schedules when you need (or want) them the most. Experience floating holidays you can use for holidays of your choice; additional “pencils down” days throughout the year without using your PTO; and, of course, decide where you work best – an office location near you or your home, wherever that may be.

What's Your Cohen Why?

Empowerment & Sense of Team: Kaitlin Mansfield

Kaitlin spent the first years of her public accounting career at a regional firm in Pittsburgh before it was acquired by a large national firm. She stayed at the “new” firm for a couple of years, but ultimately realized it wasn’t right for her when it came to serving her clients the most efficiently and effectively.

People, People & People: Pargat Singh

When it came time to graduate from Eastern Michigan University just a few short years ago, Pargat was open to all the public accounting world had to offer. He interviewed with a range of firms, from global to regional to smaller organizations. Realizing a small firm wasn’t right for him, he decided to take a chance on a lesser known but larger firm to begin his career. And he’s glad he did.

What's Your Cohen Why?

License to Drive: Jeffrey McMichael

Jeffrey took a less-than-traditional path to working at a CPA firm. A lawyer by training with a focus on tax, finance and economics, he decided to work at a regional accounting firm for a few years to gain additional experience before turning to law full time. He ultimately changed course and decided to pursue public accounting instead, but Jeffrey still wanted something different. He wanted to work at a firm that encourages and rewards entrepreneurial employees who help grow the business of the firm.
