WK Helps brochureWork-life balance. Everyone wants it, few truly have it.

At WK, we work every day to ensure our people enjoy a challenging career that complements their lifestyle, but doesn’t dominate it.

Our effort is a work-in-progress that depends on frequent discussions with all member owners and associates about their respective careers and what the firm can do to ensure an appropriate balance between the two is maintained.

WK offers challenging, rewarding full-time and part-time career opportunities for experienced professionals and recent graduates, as well as internship and seasonal positions for college students, in the following areas:

  • Tax Compliance, Planning and Consulting
  • Financial Statement Audits and Compliance
  • Business Consulting, including Cost Segregation Studies, Business Valuations, Estate and Trust Planning and Litigation Support
  • Firm Administration and Professional Support
  • Accounting and Payroll

If you are interested in a career with WK, we are interested in learning more about you, even if posted positions don’t seem to be a clear match for your individual experience and qualifications. Learn more about the availability of positions in our Columbia and Jefferson City offices.
