About the Firm

Summersgill CPA is a boutique, paperless accounting firm based in Covington, Louisiana. The team is small, tight knit, and highly professional. When they are in the office, the work is focused and efficient. Outside the office, they genuinely enjoy spending time together through trips, outings, and shared celebrations.

The owner leads a high performing practice that values accuracy, reliability, and integrity. The standards are high, the expectations are clear, and the team works with a strong sense of accountability and pride.

The Opportunity

We are partnering with Summersgill CPA to hire a full time Executive Administrative Assistant who will serve as the owner's right hand and help the firm run smoothly each day.

This is a great fit if you are the kind of person who :

  • Enjoys a quiet, professional, no drama office
  • Takes pride in making a busy leader's day easier and more efficient
  • Learns new software quickly and prefers digital systems over paper

This is a 100 percent in office role in Covington, Louisiana with a full time Monday through Friday schedule.

  • Support billing and time tracking by preparing and organizing the information used for client billing
  • Assist with limited personal tasks such as vendor appointments or schedule coordination
  • Support special projects such as client tax projection campaigns, outreach initiatives, or internal process tasks
  • Plan and coordinate logistics for team travel, events, and outings
  • Work entirely in a paperless, technology forward environment using cloud tools and digital workflows
  • Who Thrives in This Role

    The right person will recognize themselves in most of these qualities :

  • Exceptionally organized with a natural inclination toward checklists and systems
  • Very strong attention to detail in writing, numbers, grammar, and formatting
  • Clear, confident communicator both in writing and on the phone
  • Tech savvy and comfortable learning new digital tools quickly
  • Reliable and consistent with a strong sense of ownership
  • Able to take direct feedback without taking it personally
  • A proactive problem solver who uses good judgment and knows when to ask questions
  • Work Environment and Culture

  • In office, professional environment focused on productivity
  • Direct communication, high standards, and low drama
  • A small, friendly team that enjoys working together and spending time together outside of work
  • Firm sponsored travel and outings that strengthen connection and culture
  • Compensation and Benefits

  • Competitive hourly pay, depending on experience
  • Full time schedule, Monday through Friday
  • Employer funded SEP contribution after one year of full time employment
  • Additional perks include paid team travel, outings, and close access to mentorship and development
  • Minimum Qualifications

  • Experience in an administrative, executive assistant, office management, or similar role
  • Strong comfort with technology and paperless environments
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and other common software tools
  • Demonstrated reliability, attention to detail, and strong communication
