About Abdo
What is Abdo?
Abdo is a certified public accounting and advisory firm in Minnesota and Arizona. Its About page says "For 60 years, our mission has been to serve as proactive problem-solvers", and reports "300+ Government Units Audited", "Top 200 Accounting Firm in U.S." and "Top 25 Accounting Firm in Minnesota". Its services are audit, tax, advisory, HR and payroll, and technology and data (including Sage Intacct work), for governments, nonprofits, construction and real estate, manufacturing and professional services clients.
Where will I work?
The firm has three offices: Mankato (100 Warren Street, Suite 600), Minneapolis in Edina (5201 Eden Avenue, Suite 250) and Scottsdale, Arizona (14500 N Northsight Blvd, Ste 321), where it says it has expanded "westward" in recent years. All thirteen openings on 2026-10-17 are marked hybrid and sit in Edina, Mankato or Scottsdale. The postings say "Abdo approaches the hybrid work environment through flexible workplace options of working mostly from home or working mostly from the office", and "We want our people to work where they work best!". The payroll associate postings add that "Certain roles, including associates, may be expected to work at least three days in an Abdo office or at client sites".
What is the Abdo team like?
Abdo names three core values: teamwork, growth and development, and relationships. It describes "a comprehensive orientation program, a personalized professional development plan and hands-on training opportunities", and offers "Focus Fridays" with no internal meetings. Firm life includes an annual Twins outing, volunteering and an "Office Olympics competition". Staff testimonials on the careers pages praise the people and the chance to work outside attest work. It is also a firm with a busy season: the benefits page lists "Weekly lunches during peak season & monthly lunches all year round".
Work-Life Balance
The benefits page lists "Half-day Fridays during June - September", and the thirteen postings repeat it: "Half day Fridays June through September (2 months of 36 hr work weeks & 2 months of 40 hr work weeks)", and "(36 hour work weeks)" on the payroll roles. Time off is "22 days per year of PTO, 8 full holidays, 2 half holidays" in most postings (17 days of PTO on the payroll roles), with a floating holiday, 24 hours of volunteer time off annually, 2 weeks of paid parental leave and 3 days of paid grandparent leave.
Perks and Benefits
Compensation includes a 401(k) plan "with employer contributions up to 4.5%" and profit sharing, a bonus program and cash incentives for earning a CPA licence or referring a hire. The postings list medical, dental and vision insurance, an HSA with employer match, FSA for medical and dependent care, long and short-term disability, life insurance and an Abdo-sponsored telehealth platform. Staff get technology reimbursement, sit-to-stand adjustable desks and snacks in the office.
