About Linkenheimer LLP
Interested in joining a fun, vibrant work culture that puts people first? Want to make an impact on the community? Work together as a team to solve clients' accounting needs? Drink copious amounts of really good, local, organic coffee? Looking to join a company that has won Best Place to Work for 13years in a row?
For over 90 years, Linkenheimer LLP has been the trusted tax advisor for businesses and individuals who value expertise, stability, and genuine partnership.

It's not all work here either. We serve the community together, build bonds on our annual team retreats (Alaska and a coastal lodge were our last two stops) and celebrate our successes with our families on annual, company-wide vacations (Spain, Croatia and Disneyland have been recent trips). We don't strive for work-life balance, we live it and champion it. And we appreciate everyone's contributions - big or small.
Our low turnover speaks volumes: when you join Linkenheimer, you're not just taking a job - you're building a career with a firm that invests in its people for the long haul. Sound enticing? Interested in working at a not-so-typical CPA firm? We might be your match made in heaven.
