Does anyone have a word of advice for CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen)? How is their salary and what are the expectations for billable and non billable hours for senior tax accountants? How is the culture of the firm? Do you have to work more than 55 hours near extension deadline?

I work at CLA.
Salary and benefits I think are good for a firm with better work life balance than most other big firms. There is no bonus so you have to be happy with your base salary. Expectations are 1800 billable hours for senior. Culture is good but I’m sure somewhat office dependent. Typically from what I have seen you should not have to work more than 55 hours for fall deadlines. DM me if you have more questions or need a reference. Happy to help!

Thank you for your detailed answer. I will connect with you via DM.

Apart from that I don't think there is long term opportunity, do you think tcs can negotiate with client for one onsite position? In NP now
