Audit Manager

In May 2023, I became a fully remote Audit Manager at CST, marking a pivotal point in my 20+ year career in both private and public accounting. CST, without a doubt, surpasses them all as the pinnacle of excellence. The atmosphere here is characterized by kindness, humility, and unwavering support from every corner. Initially, I harbored reservations about transitioning to full remote work, but to my pleasant surprise, I’ve discovered enhanced collaboration with both my peers and clients. From the very first day, I felt embraced and valued, receiving encouragement for the wealth of knowledge and experience I brought to the firm.

This inclusive environment allowed me to explore areas of personal interest, demonstrating the firm’s commitment to staff development. The emphasis on appreciation has significantly altered my perspective on work, making each day at CST a truly rewarding experience.

Joining CST Group as an intern in January 2022 was the beginning of an incredible journey for me. I was welcomed into a team that not only values precision and professionalism in accounting but also believes in nurturing talent and fostering growth.

Throughout my time working here, I have been constantly surrounded by colleagues, my team leader, and managers who take the time to share their expertise, enabling me to evolve from an intern to an full-time Associate position.  Beyond the technical skills, CST Group also teaches the importance of teamwork, communication, and going that extra mile for our clients. Every challenge has been an opportunity to learn, and every success was a testament to the collaborative spirit of the team.

I am deeply grateful for the trust, opportunities, and guidance given to me at CST Group.  It’s been a formative experience that has laid a strong foundation for my future endeavors in the accounting world. As I take the next steps in my career, I will carry forward the invaluable lessons which I have learned.

Audit Senior

I joined CST Group as a fully remote worker in September 2023, having previously worked at a fully in-person firm. The transition initially made me a bit nervous, but I can confidently state that the experience thus far has exceeded my highest expectations. From approachable mentors to exceptional business professionals, I have consistently been treated with the utmost respect and professionalism from day one.

CST has seamlessly incorporated a sense of interaction despite the miles that separate me from the office. Engaging in enjoyable office events through Teams Meetings and experiencing the effort CST puts into flying employees in for Office Holiday Parties truly demonstrates the company’s commitment to making remote workers feel valued and appreciated.

Beyond the friendly and inclusive atmosphere, the professionalism within the office is unquestionable. In my relatively short time with the firm, I have had the privilege of learning invaluable tips and tricks related to the assurance services we provide. Additionally, I’ve honed my communications skills in a virtual setting, a skill set that will undoubtedly benefit me as I progress in my career.

I couldn’t be happier working at CST! The combination of a supportive work environment, ongoing professional development, and the genuine efforts to connect remote employees makes CST an exceptional place to build a fulfilling career.

I started with CST as a Senior Associate, having worked for two different firms in the past, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What I’ve come to find at CST is a warm group of hard working and caring individuals. Everyone is friendly and easy to work with. CST exemplifies what it means to work as a team. Regardless of what level people are at, you can always expect others to be willing to help out when you need an extra hand or if you have any questions. The firm creates an environment that promotes continuous learning when it comes to technical skills and also leadership skills as well. You can tell everyone you work with is genuinely invested in your growth and you can tell how much CST invests in their talent.
