About Keystone

Keystone is a dynamic, entrepreneurial professional services firm providing tax, accounting, business brokerage, and wealth management services to small and mid-sized business owners. We are a people-first organization that values ownership, initiative, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking a highly capable Executive Assistant to serve as a trusted partner to our Owner and Managing Principal, supporting both strategic priorities and day-to-day execution from our Reno office.

Position Overview

This is a high-impact, on-site Executive Assistant role designed to support a fast-moving Managing Principal. The ideal candidate is organized, proactive, discreet, and confident in exercising judgment. This role goes beyond traditional administrative support — it requires anticipation, prioritization, follow-through, and the ability to act as an operational extension of executive leadership.

The Executive Assistant will primarily support the Managing Principal and, as directed, provide limited administrative support to the Operations Director. The role offers exposure to multiple areas of the business, including operations, finance, HR, technology, and leadership coordination.
