Careers

A practice worth building a career around.

Join a senior, construction-focused, bilingual CPA practice in Atlanta. We work with growing contractors and ambitious founders, and we hire people who want to do real strategy work, not transactional accounting.

Why
Xtrategist

Senior, specialized, and built for impact.

Most CPA firms still run on the timesheet. We don't. Xtrategist is structured around senior-led engagements, deep industry specialization, and a bilingual practice model. The result is a healthier book of work, more interesting problems, and a real seat at the table for our clients. We are looking for accountants and CPAs who want that same kind of practice for themselves.

Xtrategist team
Our Team Culture

Multicultural team.

Our team brings different languages, cultures, and professional paths to every engagement. That breadth shapes how we listen, advise, and earn trust with the businesses we serve.

A practice that feels like a team.

High standards on the work. Genuine warmth in the room. We have built a workplace where senior CPAs do serious work alongside people they respect and enjoy, and that shows up in every client interaction.

Currently hiring.

We hire intentionally. When a role is right for the practice and the person, we move fast. The list below reflects what we're actively looking for today — open a role for the full description.
