Description

Glenn Burdette is a progressive accounting and business consulting firm. We are fully committed to providing our staff with professional growth opportunities. Bright, enthusiastic and team-oriented individuals who have strong planning, communication, analytical and organizational skills are always welcome here!  We are proud that for the 8th year in a row in our firm was named one of the Best Places to Work on the Central Coast (SLO, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties) by the Pacific Coast Business Times. We are always on the lookout for the next group of people who will help us grow our legacy.

Our consistent growth and attractive client base have made Glenn Burdette a desirable career choice for professionals, especially those who prefer the environment of an independent firm while enjoying challenging and rewarding work. These along with our competitive salary offerings are part of the reason we are able to retain so many highly qualified and professional staff. 

In addition to competitive salaries, we offer attractive benefits packages, including the unique opportunity for each employee to own part of the firm through our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). While it is rare for an accounting firm to offer every employee a stake in the company, we believe that hard work should come with long-term rewards.

We are seeking an Administrative Assistant with 3–5 years of experience who supports staff and clients with initiative and a “can do” attitude. Tasks include assembling client tax returns and/or processing extensions, e-filing client tax returns, processing new client set-ups, assisting in the firm’s annual projects including tax organizers, appointment letters, and year end engagement letters, scheduling appointments for multiple CPAs in various offices, handling billing as needed and on a monthly basis, ordering a variety of office supplies, backing up the front desk receptionist for breaks and lunch, receiving client phone calls and assisting with excellent customer service skills, and performing additional duties as assigned.
