Why you should consider working at C&M

confidence & trust

As humans, we sometimes rationalize our reasons for what makes a great accounting firm. We use unemotional facts like the size of clients and number of employees to determine our decision. But oftentimes, the real, underlying reasons for our career decisions are less definable. It typically comes down to comfort, confidence and trust. We could give you a bunch of great reasons why C&M is a great place to work. But the biggest reason is the opportunities presented to each and every team member to see the world differently here, and to join us in exceeding the expectations not only of our clients but ourselves. Exceeding expectations is what doing great business is all about.

"Our willingness, can-do attitude and passion for helping our clients succeed define our firm’s culture."

 

worldly & willing

Yes, we have international expertise. We help people all over the globe get things done. Through our global affiliations, our employees gain access to the right people at the right stages in their career, and make connections that often prove invaluable for advancement. But being worldly is more than just being “international.” It’s having plenty of practical experience doing business successfully throughout the world. Our willingness, can-do attitude and passion for helping our clients succeed are the core values that define our firm’s culture.

skilled & accessible

Every competent accounting firm has skilled people. But in the long run, what good is all that talent without a strong commitment to developing the firm’s next generation? We’re not so big that our very best people are running our business from the back office. They’re on the front lines, connecting with clients, establishing themselves in the business community and working alongside new staff members – sharing their knowledge, guiding and mentoring. At Clayton & McKervey, experience and responsibility are gained quickly and, if you’re up for the challenge, career development can proceed at a brisk pace.

industrious & fun

The world is full of industrious people who work long hours. But at Clayton & McKervey, we believe people are the sum of their existence. Having fun doing what we do, and sharing the fun with our clients as we work to grow their businesses, is vitally important to us. We take our work very seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We embrace the intrinsic value of a well-rounded perspective… a perspective that helps us give our clients our very best effort and the very best results day in and day out.

benefits & perks

At Clayton & McKervey, we’re all about job satisfaction … providing all of our team members with the benefits and perks to maximize productivity. Including (but not limited to) a competitive compensation and benefits package, plenty of office supplies, including lots of paper clips and Post-it® note pads, and all the M&Ms you could ever want — plain, peanut and even pretzel. As our French clients say, bon appétit.

confident & capable

C&M University is designed to develop strong, confident, capable team members and prepare them to enjoy long, rewarding careers. Through the program, they learn many important technical, business development, leadership and interpersonal skills. Our team approach to the development and training of new team members is designed to address the “whole” professional. This also helps our clients, who benefit from the ideas and insights imparted by every professional on their Clayton & McKervey team.

Our team is always ready to help.
