Did you ever hear of a kid playing accountant — even if he wanted to be one?

Comedian Jackie Mason may have had a point. Though we most likely "played" cowboy or ballerina when we were young, those of us who grew up to become accountants are thrilled to have found a career path full of abundant personal and professional opportunity – and yes, one that can even be fun!

If you are just beginning your accounting career, then you are entering the field at a time when there is an almost overwhelming amount of opportunity, which translates into many decisions to make. Big-name firm? International opportunity? Boutique specialization? A move to a new city? As you consider the possibilities, consider PKM, where an extraordinary environment awaits those who walk through our doors each morning.

Just the Right Size:  

Small enough for you to be valued, large enough for you to gain broad experience. Nothing beats firsthand experience to decide where you want to specialize. The scope of our practice mirrors that of many larger firms so that you have exposure to different practice areas and industries. Likwise, nothing beats the value of real work. At PKM, you will never simply be a name on an organizational chart. Expect to be a contributing member of the team from day one.

Only the Best Will Do:  

For our clients and, frankly, for us. PKM has achieved much over the past 30 years, but we are far from done. We recruit the best to help us continue to grow the firm and add value to clients. We want smart, energetic assertive people with a passion for excellence and intellectual challenge. In turn, you can expect excellence from us – in the form of compensation, benefits, a fun and rewarding work environment and ample opportunity to gain invaluable experience and advance within the firm.

Your Education Has Just Begun:  

Think you're done learning? Think again. Accounting regulations, rules, laws and other issues are constantly changing. We invest in continuing education programs and training so that you can grow professionally, keep pace with industry evolution and better serve your clients.

Life is Short:  

Enjoy it. Hard work is best accomplished in balance with family and friends, work and play. We believe a firm’s health reflects the well-being of its associates – and our firm is healthy! PKM was named one of Georgia’s most psychologically healthy workplaces by the Georgia Psychological Association for workplace practices that foster a positive work environment. We demonstrate our respect for one another by valuing individuality, while fostering a spirit of teamwork. You will find our work environment professional – but relaxed – and characterized by autonomy, freedom and flexibility. Our year is filled with annual traditions and impromptu gatherings that provide much needed moments to relax and refresh as a group.

Whether you are a college recruit reviewing your options or an industry veteran looking for a change, we encourage you to spend some time getting to know PKM. We are looking for special people who will fit well into our unique culture. If you like what you see, then chances are we will like you. Think of it this way – if you missed "playing accountant" as a child, we're here to give you another chance!
