"Aegis’ success is built on our dedication to identifying, developing and retaining exceptional talent. We look for individuals who can continue to support Aegis’ core values of Excellence, Integrity, People, Growth and Client Service. Audit and Accounting Outsourcing Services are our core service lines and therefore we choose individuals who can continue our history of service excellence in the market place. Specifically we search for individuals who demand excellence from themselves.
