One opening. Two possible career paths. Dana F. Cole & Company, LLP is looking for an experienced accounting professional to join our Grand Island office. We'll hire either a Senior Auditor or a Senior Tax Manager, based on the strengths of the person we select.

You'll have the opportunity to own your work, build lasting client relationships, and grow your career in a firm that values both high-quality service and time outside the office. For someone interested in firm leadership, this role offers a potential path to Partner.

If your strength is audit

As our Senior Auditor, you'll lead small and medium-sized engagements from planning through financial statement delivery. You'll perform, review, and supervise audits, reviews, and compilations; prepare basic financial statements; coach staff; and help clients strengthen their processes and controls. Our audit clients include nonprofit organizations and governmental units. This path also includes some tax work and travel.

What you'll bring

  • An active CPA license or a clear path to licensure within one year
  • Strong knowledge of GAAP and GAAS
  • Experience supervising staff and managing engagement deadlines
  • Clear communication, sound judgment, and proficiency in Excel and Word


If your strength is tax

As our Senior Tax Manager, you'll own a client portfolio, oversee multiple engagements, guide staff, and help clients navigate complex tax and financial questions. You'll build relationships that extend well beyond a single filing season. Farm tax experience is welcome, but it isn't required.

What you'll bring
  • An active CPA license
  • Experience managing client relationships and multiple engagements
  • Strong supervisory, project management, research, and analytical skills
  • The ability to explain complex matters clearly to clients


What you can expect at DFC

We offer competitive compensation, insurance options, a 401(k), a Section 125 plan, flexible scheduling, and extra paid time off in the summer after busy season. You'll also have hands-on training, support for professional memberships, and room to develop a specialty, take on leadership responsibilities, or pursue the Partner track.

Interested? If either path matches your experience, we'd like to hear from you.
