Kositzka, Wicks and Company was founded in 1983 with the goal of providing the highest quality of professional services on behalf of our clients. Personal service in a timely manner has formed the basis of growth that has provided an atmosphere of challenge and an opportunity for professional and personal advancement. Professional standards and ethics established by the American Institute of Certified Professional Accountants and the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants form the minimum guidelines under which we provide our services. Ethics will never be compromised for monetary reward or other considerations.

Firm Growth

While we constantly strive to maintain the close personal contact with our clients that form the cornerstone of our philosophy we recognize the desirability of healthy, controlled growth.

In order to continue as a viable firm in today's increasingly complex society we are committed to the growth of Kositzka, Wicks and Company for the following reasons:
  1. to grow with our clients
  2. to maintain independence in our relationships with our growing clients
  3. to be able to offer opportunities for professional development to all who work with us
  4. to provide for the retirement, death or unexpected loss of a principal or other key member of the firm
This philosophy has allowed us to grow from five individuals to a firm of over forty. Continued controlled growth is our goal.

Opportunity for Advancement

Great care has been exercised in selecting and training our staff. Opportunity for advancement is excellent because of our expanding staff requirements created by the firm's diverse client base and continuing growth.

Professional Development

We believe in the benefits of a combination of formal and on-the-job training and constantly strive for the most effective combination.

Entry level accountants are given one week of orientation training to familiarize the individual with workpaper techniques, and computer hardware and software used on the majority of our engagements.

On-the-Job Training: Entry level accountants work directly with in-charge accountants providing them an opportunity for individualized training and supervision. This direct supervision is supplemented by the use of our staff manual, standard audit programs and forms, and standardized working papers.

In-house Training: In anticipation of the tax filing season we conduct periodic staff training sessions. At these sessions, small groups informally discuss new technical developments, problem areas, and plan the approach for the coming filing season.

Outside Training: The Firm participates in many professional development programs offered by state and national professional organizations.

Post Graduate Education: The Firm has a program under which we will reimburse accountants up to 75% of the tuition costs for approved graduate courses.

Mentor Program: Entry level staff are provided the opportunity to be matched with a manager level mentor. The mentor program is an informal structure to provide support, guidance and assistance for staff through their career at the Firm.

Evaluations: Our training program is supplemented by an evaluation process that includes interim and annual evaluations. Through this program, individualized attention is provided to assist each staff member in attaining the individual's professional goals as well as meeting the firm's needs.

Compensation

Starting salaries are highly competitive and are determined individually, with educational achievements, business experience, and other pertinent factors being considered. Regular wage adjustments are made based upon the staff member's performance. Additional compensation is paid for any overtime performed.

Fringe Benefits

Fringe benefits include health insurance with comprehensive medical expense benefits for each employee; group term life insurance; paid time off; parking; profit sharing plan and 401(k) with employer contribution; payment of professional society fees and dues; paid time off to sit for the CPA exam; and the opportunity to pursue certificates of educational achievement or alternative certifications in areas of specialty. In addition, all employees may accrue one day per year, with pay, to participate in a civic or charitable activity in the community.

Why Kositzka, Wicks and Company?

We offer entry-level accountants the opportunity to work side by side with experienced professionals while developing skills and insight into a broad spectrum of business activities.

You will share in the vitality and excitement that comes with being an important member of a growing organization that cares about its clients and each member of the firm.

We strive to provide work/life balance within a family - friendly environment.

This outline is a generalized statement as to who we are and what we offer to the potential professional accountant. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your professional future.
