We know that your career is important to you. We also know that work isn't the only aspect of your life you care about. You have family, friends, and outside interests that are important to you as well. We respect that. We believe that employees who are satisfied with their lives will make happier, more productive team members.

We want you to enjoy your time at DZH Phillips. Certainly, you'll work hard, but you won't work excessive overtime, as is customary with many of the national accounting firms. Even during tax season, the hours we require are less than those expected at other companies.

You'll have time to enjoy all the wonderful activities this great city offers—from sailing on the San Francisco Bay and taking in the view from Angel Island to hiking in Point Reyes and heading up to Tahoe for skiing and snowboarding. You’ll have the opportunity to meet up with friends for lunch at the nearby waterfront Ferry Building, explore the local social scene, and dine out at one of the hundreds of great San Francisco restaurants of which we're so proud.

We believe not only in the importance of growing your career, but also in the importance of building your life. At DZH Phillips, we provide the opportunity to do both.

Our employees are our greatest asset and most powerful strength. As such, we dedicate a great deal of time and resources to assuring that our team is one of the best, most knowledgeable, and most skilled in the area.

As a new team member at DZH Phillips, you'll experience the greatest learning of your career. You'll receive extensive training and education, and you will be assigned a mentor who will guide your professional development. Together, you will map out a program of professional training based on your career plans. You'll also have the opportunity to attend external seminars, monthly in-house education and training, and client-site on-the-job learning.

We take your career development seriously, and your job satisfaction is very important to us. We'll do everything we can to make your experience here at DZH Phillips a positive, successful one.

We want you to be satisfied not only with your career, work environment, and learning opportunities, but also with your benefits and your ability to save for the future. For that reason, DZH Phillips offers a generous compensation package, including the following:

Salary: Our salaries are competitive with other Bay Area accounting firms, and in many cases, on a par with larger national firms. Performance reviews are scheduled semi-annually, and promotions and salary increases are awarded based on performance.

Benefits: DZH Phillips offers medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, dependent care, health care reimbursement plans, an employee assistance plan, commuter checks, and 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. Each of these plans was selected carefully with the goal of bringing you the highest level of services and benefits possible.

Paid Personal Time: During your first year with our company, you will receive five weeks paid time off, which includes vacation time and sick time. You'll also receive nine firm holidays. This personal time is intended to give you the rest and relaxation that will help you to revitalize, perform at your best, and enjoy your life.

At DZH Phillips, one of our shared values is investing in and supporting our community. Our firm and employees provide financial assistance, product donations, and volunteerism to nonprofit organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area. Some of our current and past efforts include:

Compass Community Services: Compass assists homeless and low-income families, providing services to help them to achieve financial stability. Every holiday season, DZH Phillips employees team up to sponsor families in the community. We provide new toys, gifts, food, and other items that will help make the season just a bit brighter.

Tax-Aid: Each year at tax time, DZH Phillips sponsors a free tax return preparation program at the Visitacion Valley Community Center. Our team members provide free tax return preparation services to each low-income individual or family who visits the center.

Nonprofit Board Participation: Many of our staff members hold positions on the boards of nonprofit organizations. We support their efforts and give them the time they need to be successful in their roles.

Green Initiative: We believe in supporting the environment, and are in the midst of "going paperless." We hope to transition the majority of our practice to a paperless environment by the middle of 2009.
