WCG CPAs & Advisors / About Us / Accounting Supervisor Role
Posted Friday, May 31, 2024
Table Of Contents
Thank you for your interest in WCG. The following is high-level information for our Tax Manager role on the Tax team. We also have a Senior Tax Manager role which is very similar to the following, but with increased expectations and responsibilities including compensation.
WCG CPAs & Advisors is a mid-size yet boutique tax and accounting firm with 6 partners, about 85 full-time employees and $11.7M in revenue (2025, with $14.0m in 2026 forecasts) located in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We primarily engage with small business owners (S Corps, Partnerships, PCs), rental property owners including real estate investors, and complex individual tax preparation. We don't do everything- we carefully choose the sandboxes to play in balancing client sophistication and respective needs, and our team member experience including professional development.
We take a consultative approach to our client engagements by offering routine consultation and a strong focus on planning and advisory services. However, we are still a compliance-forward, good ol’ fashioned CPA firm.
Charge hours? Not us. Tracking billable time to the 6-minute increment? No way. While WCG has hourly rates for open-ended projects and other craziness, our approach to tax and accounting engagements is very unique. We were one of the first CPA firms to offer Business Advisory Service (BAS) plans with a fixed value-based fee structure including our Tax Patrol Services (TPS) and Investor Tax Patrol Services (ITPS).

Everything starts and ends with our amazing Support Team whose mission is to make our clients' lives better and to assist all other teams and individuals. WCG's Support Team is made up of-
Accounting Services Team, Payroll Specialist Team and Business Development Team have their own silo'd support team members.
The Tax Support segment is the largest and does front-end and back-end support. They collect initial data from the client (IDP, which is a TLA for Information and Data Processing... yeah, kinda stale but super duper important) and assemble it into an electronic binder using SurePrep (the Binder Builders).
They also collect payments and obtain efile authorizations through Canopy. The Tax Support team files about 75% of our tax return extensions with the remainder filed by the Tax team.
Operations is considered a support function since its primary objective is to keep the trains running on time for all teams and to provide helpful information to WCG leadership including Pod leaders.
We use Thompson Reuters UltraTax and is self-hosted by our own servers (we did Microsoft cloud for a while, but it didn't work well). We also use SurePrep for electronic tax binders and annotation including their 1040SCAN solution. The Tax team will prepare about 5,500 tax returns for the 2025 tax return year (due in 2026), with a nice split of 60% individual and 40% business entity tax returns. The Tax team has a particular fondness for summers and as such we attempt to prepare 65% of our tax returns by April 15, with only 35% being extended. May, June and July are primarily tax planning months.
WCG has 46 Tax team members including our 10 team members in India.
WCG defines Accounting Services as Bookkeeping + Analysis and is an incredible value to the client from accurate financial and tax reporting to real-time tax planning and decision-making.
The Accounting Services Team currently has 11 people, including a small group in India. An Accounting Services team member works with 25-30 clients and primarily prepares monthly, bi-monthly, quad-monthly, or ad hoc financial statements using QuickBooks Online, Xero and Stessa (exclusively... no desktop, no Xero, no whatever whatever). In addition, Accounting Services prepares and files sales and use tax including personal property tax.
Currently WCG has 6 dedicated payroll specialists who process payroll for over 800 small businesses using ADP Wholesale primarily (we also use Paychex and Rippling). The Payroll team does not process payroll using a client’s platform or any type of hybrid system; either WCG does it all or we do not touch it all. Payroll is way too critical to have various systems and interactions.
Our Business Development team has 5 team members who draft and update proposals, re-paper existing client engagements, handle corporate governance matters such as formation and S Corp elections and monitor the onboarding process for Business Advisory, Tax Patrol and Investor Tax Patrol engagements.
Overall, the Biz Dev Team is charged with growing WCG's advisory segment (versus tax-only engagements, or what we call TOEs) and works closely with our Client Acquisition Team (the CAT, a sub-team within the Tax Team) to ensure a positive experience for our prospects. Team members respond to inquiries, schedule Discovery Meetings and follow up on prospect interactions.
WCG has 33 remote team members aside from our Mitchell, Laramie and Gujarat offices!
Must have 3-5 years of prior accounting, bookkeeping and / or tax experience in a public accounting firm. The pace and volume of a public accounting firm is like no other.
Must be proficient with QuickBooks Online. Must have or be willing to obtain ProAdvisor Certification.
Must be proficient with a paperless environment and workflow management concepts.
$80,000 to $95,000 total compensation. Bonuses, if offered, are considered in addition to total compensation.
Bonuses are subjectively determined and based on qualitative intangibles.

Accounting Services Supervisor role responsibilities and duties will change from time to time depending on circumstances, your skillsets and requests, and other factors. They are reviewed, modified if necessary and agreed to during Employee Reviews.
All salaried positions must work 2,000 hours annually / 12-month trailing period. Holidays and other office closures count towards the 2,000 hours (e.g., Thanksgiving would contribute 8 hours towards the 2,000-hour requirement). PTO and other employee-requested leaves do not count towards the 2,000-hour requirement. Please refer to the WCG Associate Handbook for additional information.
The career path for Accounting Services includes Supervisor, Manager, Director and Partner. All new team members are considered “in-training” for a period of time which temporarily alters the role responsibilities above.
Accounting Services team members can easily transition to tax return preparation or payroll processing. Many people simply enjoy preparing financial statements while others want to explore other options. WCG does not limit any employee who wants to grow and develop, and eventually find their career path.
Here is the step by step process-
Once an offer is accepted, then there might be a lot of radio silence depending on start date. As things get closer, we order a background check. For remote positions, we also do a tech survey and see what things you need, and start to discuss travel plans.
About 30 days before your start date, training materials and a schedule is presented.
And away we go!
