Build a Career You’re Proud Of—Without Giving Up Your Life

Dennis, Gartland & Niergarth (DGN) is a growing public accounting firm looking for a Team Accountant who wants more than just a job. If you enjoy meaningful client relationships, variety in your work, and a firm that actually invests in your growth, you’ll feel right at home here.

You’ll work alongside supportive teammates across our Small Business, Tax, and Audit & Assurance teams, helping clients succeed while continuing to sharpen your own skills.

What You’ll Do

No two days are exactly the same—and that’s part of the fun.

  • Deliver higher-level accounting services including bookkeeping, payroll, and financial reporting
  • Prepare workpapers and financial statements in line with firm and professional standards
  • Support and conduct on-site client audits
  • Assist with tax preparation, gaining exposure to more complex returns over time
  • Consult with clients and help train them on accounting software
  • Contribute to proposals and expanded client services
  • Jump into special projects and reports as needed

Note: Occasional overtime is required during busy times—we value balance, but we’re honest about seasonality.

What We’re Looking For

  • 2+ years of experience in a similar role (public accounting preferred)
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting
  • CPA license preferred (or working toward it)
  • A growth mindset and commitment to professional development
  • QuickBooks Advisor certification is a plus

Why You’ll Love Working at DGN

We believe great work starts with feeling supported and valued.

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Health, dental & vision insurance starting on day one
  • Generous paid time off starting on day one
  • Bonus opportunities
  • 401(k) with profit sharing
  • Life & disability insurance
  • Regular feedback, mentorship, and real career growth opportunities

The Culture

At DGN, you’re not just another employee—you’re part of a team. We value collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement. You’ll have a voice, room to grow, and the chance to build a long-term career in a firm that’s moving forward.
