Benefits are more than perks; they’re how we show we’re invested in you. Your health, your growth, your future, your life outside these walls. At GBQ, we believe taking care of our people isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s how we build a firm that lasts.

Comprehensive Coverage

Affordable medical, dental, and vision insurance that actually covers what you need - and a menu of optional insurance options to help you protect what matters most.

Work-Life Balance

Flexibility when you need it. Time off that you’re actually encouraged to use. A culture that understands life doesn’t stop because you have a deadline.

Competitive Compensation

Our competitive compensation structure ensures you are paid fairly for the work you do and the value you bring. But your base pay is only part of the equation, which includes performance-based rewards, continued education, and more.

Retirement Planning

GBQ's retirement and profit-sharing plan is designed to help associates save for retirement by offering tax advantages and convenient payroll deductions. Furthermore, the firm supports its employees through discretionary matching contributions.

Performance-Based Rewards

Your contributions matter, and your performance drives your pay. GBQ’s performance appraisals provide you with constructive feedback, clarify goals, identify growth opportunities, and ensure merit-based compensation.

Ongoing Education

GBQ supports all tax and assurance professionals in obtaining their CPA, a critical designation for career advancement. The firm also supports the continued education of all associates, because staying current isn’t optional in this field.

Training Programs

Technical skills. Leadership development. Industry expertise. We invest in keeping you sharp in a competitive talent marketplace. Our CPE programs are developed to empower you at ever stage of your career.

Community Involvement

GBQ empowers associates to support causes they love. We host firm-sponsored volunteer events and group initiatives, plus every employee gets 8 hours of paid Volunteer Time Off (VTO) each year.

Diversity & Inclusion

GBQ's DEI Committees champion diversity, equity & inclusion so every voice is valued, and every opportunity is accessible. Sub-committees include our Pride Alliance, Multicultural Inclusion, Women’s Inclusion, and Flex Inclusion committees.

Culture That Cares

Since 1953, GBQ has been about one thing: empowering growth — for our people, our communities, and our clients’ businesses. We built a culture that puts our 300+ diverse associates first, because when they flourish, communities thrive and businesses grow.

''GBQ provides its professionals the agility to deliver impactful and consistently high-quality client service by encouraging engagement teams to leverage professional judgment as opposed to dependence on non-local parent office personnel. GBQ provided the perfect blend of what I was looking for in terms of a continued career in public accounting, namely the opportunity to work in a high-performing and energetic environment while enabling my family to grow and take root here in central Ohio.''

''Entrepreneurial spirit, independent expertise is more than just our tagline. We encourage people across the firm (not just management) to think and act as entrepreneurs. The firm wants people to bring forward new ideas about client service, service offerings, development, and other growth and improvement initiatives. Our clients are entrepreneurs, and we are too.''

''Coming out of college, it is hard to tell from your class experience whether you want tax or audit. I had a similar struggle, that’s why GBQ’s rotation program was a great fit for me. I thought I wanted to be an auditor, but after getting a full rotation in both departments, I realized tax was the best fit for me.''
