Careers at Northern
Build Your Career Without Getting Lost in a Big Firm
Northern Business Solutions is a Connecticut tax, accounting and advisory firm where talented professionals can take on meaningful responsibility, work directly with clients, use modern technology and help shape the future of the firm.
Why Northern
Room to Contribute. Support to Grow.
A close-knit firm can offer something different: broad experience, visible impact and work that connects directly to the people we serve.
Small Firm. Big Exposure.
Our professionals gain experience across tax, accounting, advisory and client service rather than being confined to a narrow role.
Direct Client Exposure.
Our clients include closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals, families and nonprofit organizations. Team members have opportunities to understand the entire client relationship, not simply one piece of an engagement.
Technology-Forward.
Northern invests heavily in automation, AI-assisted workflows, cloud technology and process improvement so professionals can spend less time on repetitive administrative work and more time solving problems.
Your Ideas Matter.
We are large enough to provide challenging work but small enough that talented employees can have a meaningful influence on how the firm operates.
Build a Sustainable Career.
We are actively investing in people, processes and technology to create a firm where professional growth and high-quality client service can coexist with a sustainable career.
