Job description

The Whalen Group is the tax and accounting division of Whalen Financial, an independent wealth management firm built to provide clients with truly integrated financial advice.

At Whalen Financial, we believe tax planning should not happen in isolation. Our approach brings together investment management, retirement planning, tax strategy, insurance and risk management, and estate planning to help clients make better financial decisions across every area of their lives.

The Whalen Group plays a critical role in that mission. Our tax professionals work alongside financial advisors and planning professionals to provide proactive tax planning and preparation for individuals, families, business owners, and high-net-worth clients. Rather than simply looking backward and reporting what happened last year, our goal is to identify opportunities throughout the year that can improve a client's overall financial picture.

We are a growing, entrepreneurial organization with ambitious plans for the future. As Whalen Financial continues to expand, we are investing heavily in our people, technology, and tax capabilities to build a tax and accounting practice capable of serving increasingly complex client relationships.
