This Isn't Your Typical Heads-Down
Spreadsheets-All-Day Kind of Job
Every person on the Rickhoff team has client contact. That means answering the phone, building real relationships, and being the kind of person a business owner actually looks forward to hearing from. Our accounting knowledge matters, but so does the ability to have a real conversation.
If you don't like talking to people, we're probably not the right fit. If you do, we'd love to meet you.
What It's Like to Work at Rickhoff
We're a small, close-knit team that takes the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. We collaborate, we laugh, we have team lunches and outings, and we genuinely enjoy showing up. You'll know everyone's name, and they'll know yours.
Here's what we value:
Fun: We bring positive, enthusiastic energy to work every day. Not forced. Just genuine.
Team: We support each other, check our egos at the door, and communicate with honesty and respect.
Adaptable: We work in a constantly changing industry and we embrace it. From new software, new regulations, or new processes, we lean in instead of pulling back.
Loyal: We're invested in this firm, in each other, and in the success of every client we serve.

Pick up on details and remember them: a client's busy season, their new hire, their big goal for next year
Are comfortable with technology and open to learning new tools
Want to understand the why behind the numbers, not just process them
Like being part of a small team where your work is visible and your contribution matters
Would rather build long-term relationships than move fast and stay anonymous
