Our Desire

An SMCO team member is interested in reaching their full potential, and that’s exactly our desire. We do not conduct traditional reviews — our reviews are designed to be goal-oriented and are designed with you in mind.

Join Our Team

A few of our company values are to
lead by example.
challenge yourself.
foster innovation.
fulfill commitments.
build expertise.
grow with the team.

We actively recruit candidates who we believe to be the best-qualified individuals in our field. We provide our team members with an exciting environment in which to excel and prosper. From the moment you walk through the door, you will be known. You will not get lost in the shuffle as with larger firms, and you will not have to wait years to be noticed or do petty redundant work for years before you are permitted to try something new and challenging.

We allow our employees to learn and gain experience in all areas of accounting. We actively promote from within our firm, and it is our desire to see each employee reach their full potential. We do not conduct traditional reviews, instead, our reviews are goal based and centered around our values. We will challenge you and provide you with the tools to better yourself.

We are invested in our employees. Because of that, we provide 40 hours of paid time off to study for and take the CPA exam, and 20 hours of paid time off to study for the EA exam. We pay for all work related continuing education, and all team members receive CPE. We have firmwide trainings, weekly team meetings, and Grub and Grows all with the purpose of developing you and building team relationships.

No egos here! At SMCO, supervisors, managers, and partners work alongside you. They are available to answer questions and will not ask you to do something that they themselves would not do. They are committed to growing with you. Our partners are industry experts, their knowledge and mentorship are invaluable. They set the bar by providing excellent client service, upholding integrity, and challenging themselves daily.

Employee Testimonials

“SMCO does a great job investing in employees. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into staff from employee benefits to team building. All employees are given an opportunity to be successful and grow.”

“The company’s management, is good at making the employees feel supported and keep what feels like a level playing field socially, which allows opinions to be offered without fear of censure.”

“I appreciate the flexibility allowed. Working full time, finishing school, and studying for the exam at the same time is really stressful, so it helps that SMCO values it as much as I do.”
