Indianapolis, Indiana, United States KSM (Katz, Sapper & Miller) Full time

Job Description
We're KSM, one of the top 50 largest independent advisory, tax, and audit firms in the United States. But more than our size, it's our people and culture that set us apart. We believe great things happen when people are supported, challenged, and given the freedom to do their very best work. That's why we've built a workplace where your career and personal life can thrive together – where you have the flexibility to manage your time, the resources to grow, and a team that genuinely cares about your success.

We've been employee-owned since 2001, giving every team member a stake in our collective success. This ownership mentality fosters a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and excellence – where new ideas are welcomed, different perspectives are valued, and you're encouraged to explore what excites you most. Whether you're expanding your skills, tackling new challenges, or making an impact beyond the office, we provide the resources and support to help you grow in the direction that's right for you.

At KSM, your contributions matter – not just to the firm, but to your colleagues, clients, and the communities we serve across the U.S. If you're looking for a place where you can do meaningful work, build lasting relationships, and grow in ways that align with what's most important to you, we'd love to meet you.
