What Our Staff Says
“Prior to joining D.H. Scott & Company, I worked in the Audit and IT Risk divisions of a Big 4 accounting firm for 9 years in San Francisco and Sydney Australia. As a full-time working mother, I was looking to steer my career to a smaller firm that offered predictable working hours and a short commute, allowing me to maximize time with my family. I love what Redding and Northern California has to offer in terms of outdoor activities and adventures, so I applied with D.H. Scott and Company. My initial interview with the Partners demonstrated the family-oriented mentality of the leadership and that coupled with the opportunity to expand my skill-set to include private company and governmental audits and reviews along with tax preparation and planning sold me on making the move. The people culture, integrity of leadership, and focus on quality are a few of the many things that make this a great place to work.”
