BALANCED CAREERS START AT ZAJAC PERRONE

  • Are you a CPA ready for more control over your life?

  • Looking for an opportunity to work with great clients - and smart people?

  • Ready for a short commute, with time left for family and friends?

  • How about your own desk in a semi-private office larger than a refrigerator box?

Zajac Perrone may be the perfect match for your career - and personal - goals.

Perhaps working at a "Big 5" accounting firm offered great experience.  But when you signed up, they neglected to tell you about the long hours, the excruciating commute, and the wasted hours schmoozing partners when you really wanted to be serving your clients and advancing your career.  Now you're wondering, can I be a CPA and still have a life?

The answer may be a career at Zajac Perrone, where we strive for that delicate balance between work and personal life.  To help you decide if you would like to work with Zajac Perrone, please review the information that follows:
