About Phillips Business Group
Phillips Business Group is looking for a Staff Accountant who wants to work in an exciting, growing environment that is highly focused on teamwork and partnership with both coworkers and clients.

Our firm services hundreds of small business owners and high net worth individuals across multiple advisory offerings including Tax Planning, Tax Implementation, and Chief Financial Officer services. Unlike most tax firms focused on compliance, Phillips Business Group helps our clients proactively implement strategies that save them money on taxes and help build a stronger financial future.
This is a long-term, full-time position with a cutting-edge, proactive, and growth-minded firm. Phillips Business Group is not your typical, boring, overworked, and undervalued firm. We work hard to serve our clients, but we also believe balance is key. This is a fully remote position.
