The LWBJ Employee Experience
Our founders came from national firms, but wanted to build more personal and collaborative relationships with clients and staff. And 27 years later, our culture continues to thrive. While roles, responsibilities and expectations are similar to those in other sophisticated public accounting firms, we encourage everyone to work a schedule that fits their needs – with flexible scheduling options, a casual dress code and summertime hours (including half-day Fridays). Travel is minimized. Work-life balance is highly valued. Entrepreneurial spirit is nurtured and appreciated. We are focused on helping our people advance and enjoy rewarding careers. Mentorship and continuing education are provided, as well market leading compensation and benefits.
You’ll be able to engage clients directly and work on the kinds of projects typically handled by national firms – but within a smaller firm setting focused on team-building, employee growth and client success. We not only expect you to become more experienced and successful early in your career, we work to help you accomplish it.
