That's why we're committed to finding and investing in the right person.

For nearly 40 years, Partridge & Associate CPA's has built its reputation by providing exceptional service to business owners and individuals throughout the Valley as one of Scottsdale’s top CPA firms. Today, we're looking for someone who wants more than just another accounting position—we're looking for someone who wants to become part of the future of our firm.

About the Opportunity

This is a primarily in-office position located near Scottsdale Road and Thunderbird Road in Scottsdale.

You'll work alongside our experienced team preparing business and individual tax returns while becoming familiar with our clients, systems, and procedures.

From the start, you'll review and prepare tax returns from a team of preparers, helping ensure quality work, productivity, and consistency while serving as a mentor and technical resource to the team.

As you become established within the firm, you'll take on increasing client-facing responsibilities while expanding your role in managing personnel, workflow, and the overall quality of our tax practice.

We'll provide the mentorship, support, and opportunities needed to accelerate both your technical expertise and leadership skills. As you demonstrate your capabilities, you'll quickly take on greater responsibility and become an integral part of the firm's leadership team.

This is an opportunity to build your career with a firm that's committed to investing in your long-term success.

• A strong understanding of federal and state tax law
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Professional judgment and emotional maturity
• A desire to build long-term relationships with clients
• An interest in mentoring and leading others as your career grows
• Experience with CCH Axcess or Lacerte is a strong plus, but not required.

This is a primarily in-office position with some remote work available. Candidates with a reasonable commute to our Scottsdale office will be best positioned for success.

Why Join Our Team?

We're proud of the environment we've built over the past 40 years. Many members of our team have been with us for more than a decade because we value flexibility, mutual respect, and supporting one another.

We understand that public accounting can be demanding, but we don't believe in creating a culture of constant burnout. We work hard, take care of our clients, and expect everyone to take ownership of their responsibilities—but we also believe maintaining a healthy work-life balance is important.
