Job description

Senior Tax Accountant | Arlington, TX | $100,000 to $120,000

Harder returns, real client contact, and a spring that doesn't swallow your whole life. This Arlington firm keeps peak weeks around 50 to 55 hours, and Seniors earn $100,000 to $120,000 with hybrid working.

It's an independent CPA firm of around 15 to 25 staff, with the kind of retention most firms would rather not be asked about. Staff stay. Clients stay. In an industry where culture is usually a slide in a recruiting deck, that's about as honest a signal as you'll get.

They're adding an experienced Senior Tax Accountant who wants to keep being challenged technically, work directly with clients, and do it on a schedule that's built to last.

What's on offer

• $100,000 to $120,000
• Busy season generally around 50 to 55 hours a week at peak
• 401(k), plus medical, dental and vision insurance
• A close knit team of around 15 to 25 with strong staff and client retention
• Real client contact and ownership at Senior level

What you'll be doing

• Preparing and reviewing returns
• Working directly with clients
• Managing your own workload
• Owning your work in a firm where it's visible

What they're looking for

• Ideally 4+ years of tax experience in a CPA or public accounting firm
• Confident preparing and reviewing returns and communicating with clients
• CPA or EA is a plus, not essential
• CCH Axcess, Lacerte or UltraTax is useful, though other software is welcome
