Why Columbus Is Booming for Tax & Accounting Professionals
Columbus has quietly become a powerhouse for financial services, driven by major employers like JPMorgan Chase, Cardinal Health, Bath & Body Works, and a growing number of regional CPA firms expanding their footprint.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for accountants in Ohio is projected to grow 6.8% through 2032 outpacing the national average. In Franklin County alone, demand for tax specialists has increased by over 18% year-over-year, fueled by business expansion and tighter compliance requirements at both federal and state levels.
“Columbus combines big-city opportunity with small-city affordability. It’s an ideal market for tax pros who want career growth without burnout.”
With access to talent from The Ohio State University, Franklin University, and Columbus State Community College, companies are investing heavily in finance teams especially those with expertise in individual, corporate, and multi-state taxation.
