Buss CPA is a CPA firm with offices in Hartford and Sioux Falls, SD, rebuilding what outsourced accounting looks like for construction companies, agriculture operations, attorneys, engineers, and family offices across South Dakota. Instead of paper files and quarterly guesswork, the firm runs a fixed-fee outsourced accounting solution built on secure digital workflows and real-time online access to client financial data. That model changes the job for accountants too. You spend less time chasing paperwork and more time interpreting numbers, advising clients, and solving actual problems for the businesses on your roster. If you're an accountant who wants modern tools, direct client contact, and a firm that treats accounting as advisory work instead of a compliance checklist, both offices are worth a look. We're hiring accountants who want to build a career, not fill a seat.
Why work at Buss CPA
Modern digital workflows, not paper files
Client work runs through secure digital systems with real-time reporting, not filing cabinets and manual data entry. You'll use best-of-breed accounting technology daily, the kind of tools that make the work faster and genuinely more interesting.
Advisory-focused, not compliance-only
Tax prep and bookkeeping are part of the job, but so is sitting with clients and helping them make decisions. Buss CPA positions its team as an outsourced accounting department, giving accountants a bigger seat at the table than a compliance-only shop ever would.
Open positions and career paths
Roles at Buss CPA span outsourced accounting, advisory, and personal income tax, with room to move between service lines as your interests develop.
Staff Accountant
Entry point for accountants ready to manage client books, reconcile accounts, and handle payroll for construction, agriculture, and professional service clients. Strong performers move into senior accountant or tax roles within a few years.
Senior Accountant
Own a portfolio of clients, review staff work, and start advising business owners directly on cash flow, job costing, and tax planning. This role bridges day-to-day accounting and advisory work.
Tax Preparer
Prepare individual and business returns for households and niche clients, including attorneys, engineers, and family trusts. Seasonal and year-round openings both come up depending on firm needs.
Advisory Associate
Work alongside business owners on budgeting, tax strategy, and financial decisions as part of the outsourced accounting services model. This path suits accountants who want less compliance grind and more strategy conversation.
Accounting Intern
Students get real client exposure, not just filing and coffee runs. Interns support staff accountants on live engagements across construction, agriculture, and personal tax work, and several convert to full-time offers.
Life at Buss CPA in Hartford and Sioux Falls, SD
Buss CPA operates out of two South Dakota locations: Hartford, about 15 miles from Sioux Falls, and a Sioux Falls office for candidates who prefer a city address. Both offices run on the same client-first culture: phones get answered, deadlines get met, and the team keeps reasonable hours even during tax season because digital workflows spread the work out instead of dumping it all into April. Whichever office fits your commute, you get the same client base and technology stack, the kind that accountants at much larger regional firms work hard to access. Hartford offers small-town parking and a short drive home. Sioux Falls puts you in the heart of the state's largest business market. Either way, you're doing real advisory work for niche clients, not pushing paper.
