Job description

A growing, mission-driven public accounting firm is seeking an experienced Senior Tax Accountant to join a close-knit team focused on delivering proactive tax strategy and high-quality service to business owners and individual clients.

This is an excellent opportunity for a tax professional who enjoys being client-facing, solving problems, and taking a proactive approach to tax planning rather than simply preparing returns.

The Role

• Prepare business and individual tax returns, with a strong focus on Form 1120
• Prepare quarterly estimated tax projections
• Develop and implement tax planning strategies
• Participate in ongoing tax planning meetings with clients
• Maintain accurate and organized client records within internal systems
• Work closely with colleagues and management to resolve questions and provide effective client solutions

What We're Looking For

• Public accounting tax experience
• CPA or EA preferred/required
• Strong experience with business and individual taxation
• Client-facing experience and strong communication skills
• Highly organized, self-motivated, and deadline-oriented
• Resourceful approach with a willingness to ask questions and collaborate
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to think outside the box
• Genuine commitment to helping clients and going the extra mile
• Comfortable working with technology and accounting software

What’s Offered

• Fully remote work
• Life Insurance
• Traditional & Roth 401(k)
• CPE and licensing/testing fees covered
• 10 paid holidays
• 3 weeks PTO to start, increasing to 4 weeks and eventually 5 weeks
• Annual company retreat at a resort, with travel and expenses covered
• Opportunity to grow with an expanding firm

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is more than a traditional tax compliance position. The team is focused on tax strategy, client relationships, and helping business owners make better financial decisions.

The firm is entering a significant period of growth and is looking for tax professionals who want to grow alongside the organization and have a meaningful impact on clients.
