Ready for a Tax Career with More Opportunity, Ownership, and Impact?

Are you an experienced tax professional who enjoys solving complex challenges, building meaningful client relationships, and seeing the direct impact of your work?

We are partnering with an established, well-respected CPA and advisory firm in South Jersey that is looking to add a talented Senior Tax Associate to its growing team.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants more than just another busy season. You'll have the chance to work closely with experienced partners, take greater ownership of client engagements, and continue developing your technical and leadership skills in a collaborative, relationship-driven environment.

Whether you're currently with a large national firm or a regional CPA practice, this could be an opportunity to explore a different kind of public accounting experience.

What You'll Be Doing

• Prepare and review complex federal and state tax returns for individuals, partnerships, S corporations, and C corporations.
• Manage tax compliance responsibilities for a diverse portfolio of clients, ensuring accuracy and timely filings.
• Research complex tax matters and provide practical recommendations to clients and firm leadership.
• Collaborate directly with partners and managers on tax planning, compliance, and advisory engagements.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, serving as a trusted point of contact.
• Assist with tax planning strategies that help clients navigate changing regulations and optimize their tax positions.
• Review work prepared by junior associates and provide guidance, coaching, and technical support.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, enhance client service, and contribute to the firm's continued success.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5+ years of public accounting tax experience, ideally within a CPA firm.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a closely related field.
• CPA designation or active progress toward obtaining CPA licensure preferred.
• Hands‑on experience preparing and reviewing complex individual and business tax returns, including Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120S.
• Strong understanding of federal and state tax regulations and compliance requirements.
• Experience working directly with clients and managing competing deadlines.
• Excellent analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
• Ability to work independently while contributing to a collaborative team.
• Experience with CCH Axcess or comparable professional tax software is a plus.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

More Than Just Tax Preparation

Take an active role in client engagements, tax planning discussions, and problem‑solving rather than being limited to repetitive compliance work.

Direct Access to Firm Leadership

Collaborate with experienced partners and senior professionals who value your ideas, expertise, and professional development.

Continue building the technical, client management, and leadership skills that can position you for future advancement into Tax Manager and beyond.

A Collaborative Firm Environment

Join a professional team that values relationships, communication, accountability, and high‑quality client service.

Competitive Compensation

Earn a base salary of $85,000–$120,000, depending on experience and qualifications, with additional performance‑based bonus potential.
