About Invictus Accounting Group LLP

as Controller, Director of Finance, Director of Internal Audit, CFO) while benefitting from client variety,
camaraderie, and professional atmosphere of public practice. We focus on providing top-tier advisory services,
and we have built strong relationships with our clients and both national and mid-tier audit firms.
Committed to balance, Invictus’ work environment ensures flexibility and family are as important as
professionalism and premier service. To accomplish this we developed a proprietary “Great Eight” methodology
and training system which teaches our team members to consistently have highly effective and balanced eighthour workdays (and it works!). Our diverse and challenging work, as well as fun, team-oriented atmosphere are several reasons why we have very low employee turnover, and a rapidly growing team.
