Since 1992, PaulHood has been committed to creating meaningful career opportunities within the Tulsa community. By prioritizing a strong workplace culture, providing competitive benefits, and creating an environment where employees can grow and advance, we’ve proudly remained one of the top employers in Tulsa for over 30 years.  

As we’ve expanded, so has our team, and we now have PaulHood employees working in communities across Oklahoma, with offices in Claremore, Bartlesville, Sand Springs, and more. We also offer remote positions, along with in-office opportunities in Kansas, Texas, Missouri, and Tennessee.

So, what makes PaulHood such a great place to work? In this blog, we’ll share the values, practices, and culture that has allowed us to grow from a single Tulsa office to a multi-state firm while maintaining that tight-knit, people-first feel that makes our employees stick around (some for over 20 years). We’ll also share direct reflections from PaulHood employees on their favorite parts of working here. 

It Starts with the Culture 

At PaulHood, we know that you can’t be one of the top employers in Tulsa and beyond without making culture a top priority. That’s why we are crystal clear on our core values and ensure that they show up in the day-to-day work environment.  

Our core values are our guiding star for the type of company we want to create. We strive every day to be adaptable, client-focused, effective, ethical, and responsible.  

• Adaptable: We adapt along with the evolving tax-prep and accounting industry, ensuring we stay up to date on legislative changes, new technologies, and advancements that can help us better serve our clients. 

• Client-focused: Our team provides practical solutions so clients can spend less time on taxes and bookkeeping, and more time serving their families, businesses, and communities. 

• Effective: Our experienced team is ready to implement impactful solutions that create peace of mind.  

• Ethical: We uphold the highest standard of integrity and honesty in all our dealings with clients, partners, and employees. 

• Responsible: We believe in taking accountability for our actions and creating a transparent environment that fosters trust with both clients and employees. 

By clearly communicating and living out these values, we are setting an example within our company that leads to amazing company culture where everyone feels appreciated, valued, and impactful in their work. 

Room to Grow 

Feeling stuck can really inhibit your overall job satisfaction. That’s why at PaulHood we are committed to offering exceptional growth opportunities to our employees.  

We have several employees who started their careers with us as entry level staff and have now progressed to more senior positions. One of our hospitality department staff in the Tulsa office, Bri’Auna, was promoted to be our regional CX manager within three years of employment. You can watch her story here. 

We also make it a priority to offer internal positions and senior roles to internal staff first, giving them the opportunity to advance or make lateral moves when they become available. Allowing our employees to build meaningful work experience and develop new skills keeps our organization flexible and helps great people build the careers of their dreams, so it’s a win-win. 

More Than Just a Job 

At PaulHood, we are deeply driven by our mission to turn once-a-year tax prep into year-round financial confidence for hardworking Americans. That means that we want to inspire our staff to see their role as more than just a job, but an opportunity to make a real impact on the world and help their communities. 

Many of our clients come to us during difficult periods of their lives. Perhaps they have lost a spouse, a business, or a job, and they are looking for someone to step in and help in their time of need. They need empathetic experts who aren’t just there for a paycheck, but who truly care about their situation and can make things better.  

We are so incredibly proud of all our staff who take our mission seriously. It’s incredibly rewarding to hear back from our clients that we were able to save them money that they can now invest in their future, or that we helped them avoid paying a huge bill to the IRS.  

Taking Care of Our People 

One of the main factors that makes us one of the top employers in Tulsa is our commitment to taking care of our staff. We know that employees that feel valued stay for the long-haul, and that’s exactly what we strive to do.  

Here are just a few of the key benefits we offer: 

• Paid parental leave 

• HSA and FSA plans  

• 401(k) matching 

• Childcare benefits 

• Excellent health insurance benefits 

• Competitive salaries 

• Remote working opportunities 

• Generous PTO and paid sick leave 

By investing in our employees and their families, PaulHood is investing in the future and helping to build generational wealth for years to come.
