Job description

Senior Tax Accountant | Dallas, TX | Hybrid | $100,000 to $120,000

A firm growing 20 percent a year, three years straight, tells you one of two things. Either the staff are drowning, or the firm actually knows what it's doing. This one's the second.

If you're a Senior starting to think seriously about what comes next, this is worth an actual conversation, not just another job you scroll past.

An independent CPA firm of around 100 people has room for another experienced tax professional ready to take on more complex work and start building toward Manager. You'll be across complex individual and business returns, with a mix of preparation and growing review responsibility as you develop.

Why this one's different

Big enough to offer real momentum and broader exposure, small enough that good work still gets noticed. Coming from a smaller firm, this opens up more complex work and a stronger platform to build on. Coming from a larger one, it's a far more personal environment without losing the technical depth you've already got.

It suits someone comfortable owning their work, asking good questions, and gradually moving past pure preparation.

What they're looking for

• Likely already a Senior Tax Accountant in public accounting, or an experienced Tax Associate ready to step up
• Solid experience preparing complex individual and business returns, comfortable with less day to day supervision
• Experience reviewing simpler returns or supporting junior staff is a plus, particularly if Manager is the goal
• CPA track and a public accounting background both matter

Why it's worth a conversation

• Around 100 people firm wide, so you get the structure of an established practice while staying independent
• Tax practice has grown 20 percent year over year for three consecutive years
• Complex individual and business tax work, with room to pick up more review responsibility over time
• Hybrid, based in Dallas
• $100,000 to $120,000 depending on experience

If you want a Senior role that offers more than another year of the same prep work, this is worth talking through.
