Continuing Professional Education
(CPE) & Continuing Skills Development
CPA Exam: We know that the successful completion
of the CPA exam is important to you, and it is important
to us. In order to support you in that endeavor, we offer
paid time off to sit for the exam and an interest-free
loan to assist with exam study materials or programs
and exam fees. We also offer a sliding-scale bonus for
the successful completion of each part of the exam.
Technical Training: We offer many opportunities
(both internally and externally) to assist staff in
improving their technical skills. Tax-specific and audit-specific training is offered in-house and is often taught
by our Senior Management.
Industry Training: In an effort to serve the
needs of our clients, we offer opportunities to attend
local, state, and national training conferences, as well
as in-house seminars on various industry-specific topics.
Leadership Training: We offer a series of classes
aimed at developing your interpersonal and business
skills, which provide you with the tools to successfully
interact with clients, manage your time and projects,
and manage staff. A sampling of those classes include
Client Service & Relationship-Building, Business
Etiquette, Time Management, Introduction to Coaching
& Giving Feedback, and more.
Software Training: We provide many resources
that aid efficiency and improve productivity, but they
aren’t any good if you don’t know how to use
them. To make sure that you can put your time to the best use, we offer in-house training on all of our software.
Challenging Work Environment
We want you to make the most of your career at Dean,
Dorton & Ford. We make sure that is possible by
giving you the opportunity to work in one or more service
areas (Tax, Audit, and Consulting) and in one or more
of our six industry specialization areas.
