Yes RSM FAO. I love it, for me it's the best of all worlds with interesting clients, technology, the opportunity to help grow and document our practice, working with smart people, tons of growth (it's a growing field). Not technical accounting but you touch that, tax, etc. I'm also able to WFH since everything is in the cloud and be with my family since I set my own hours to a certain degree. I would say DM for referral if you're interested but I don't want you to think I'm stretching the truth! It's also one of those where you kinda move at your own career pace - if you want a ton of WLB then you could advance a little slower and that's fine. Also flexible work options like part-time, compressed schedule etc.

That being said, I should have mentioned the pay is probably a little lower than something like technology consulting where you would be traveling.

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid
