Job description

Ready for more than another busy season and an endless stack of tax returns?

I'm partnering with one of the nation's leading accounting and advisory firms on an opportunity for a Tax Senior Associate looking to take their career to the next level within a nationally recognized Real Estate and Affordable Housing practice.

We're talking sophisticated clients, complex tax work, direct exposure to Partners, and the opportunity to take real ownership of engagements rather than simply preparing returns.

Here's what makes this opportunity worth a look:

• $95K-$115K base salary plus discretionary bonus potential
• Hybrid flexibility with approximately three days in the office
• Exposure to sophisticated commercial real estate investors, developers, and affordable housing clients
• Work alongside experienced Managers, Senior Managers, and Partners on complex tax matters
• Take ownership of engagements, build direct client relationships, and mentor junior professionals
• Generous PTO, parental leave, professional development opportunities, and additional benefits
• The resources and career opportunities of a national firm without getting lost in the shuffle

What you'll be doing:

• Prepare and review complex federal and multistate tax returns for real estate entities and partnerships
• Work with commercial real estate and affordable housing clients on compliance and tax-related matters
• Manage engagement timelines, deliverables, and client communications
• Research technical tax issues and collaborate with senior professionals on solutions
• Review work prepared by associates and provide coaching and technical guidance
• Build relationships with clients while developing the skills needed to advance into management

What we're looking for:

• 3-5 years of public accounting tax experience
• Background in commercial real estate, affordable housing, or partnership taxation
• Strong technical tax knowledge and experience handling complex engagements
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field
• CPA, EA, JD, or advanced tax degree preferred
• Someone who's ready for greater responsibility, stronger client exposure, and continued career growth

If you've built a solid foundation in public accounting and are ready for more challenging work, better compensation, and a team that will invest in your development, I'd love to connect.
