Job description

Ready for a Tax Senior role where you do more than prepare returns and review work? Here, you'll build client relationships, contribute to planning decisions, and grow into the advisor clients turn to.

A growing public accounting and advisory firm is seeking a Tax Senior Associate who's ready for that next step. You'll stay hands-on with complex tax work while gaining exposure to consulting, research, and client conversations throughout the year. You'll also take more ownership of engagements and help develop the Associates working alongside you. This is a chance to build the technical range, client confidence, and leadership skills that prepare you for what's next.

What You Will Be Doing:

• Prepare complex returns for individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts, and other entities.
• Work directly with clients on questions, tax planning, and practical solutions throughout the year.
• Research complex tax issues and translate your findings into clear recommendations.
• Take ownership of engagement workflow, deadlines, deliverables, and client expectations.
• Partner with Managers and Partners on complex client matters and planning opportunities.
• Review work and mentor Associates as you build the skills to lead engagements.
• Gain experience across a range of entity types and client situations.

What You Will Bring:

• 3+ years of public accounting tax experience and a bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related field.
• Experience preparing returns for individuals and multiple business entity types.
• A strong understanding of tax accounting principles and IRS regulations.
• The ability to research technical issues, communicate clearly with clients, and manage competing deadlines.
• An interest in tax planning and consulting beyond compliance.
• Authorization to work in the United States without current or future visa sponsorship.
• CPA, EA, or progress toward certification is preferred. Experience reviewing or mentoring junior staff is a plus.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out:

A $95,000 to $115,000 salary range plus bonus, comprehensive benefits, generous PTO and holidays, and hybrid flexibility with 2 to 3 days in the office. You'll also have a flexible summer schedule, CPA and continuing education reimbursement, and training and mentorship to support your growth.

If you're ready for a Senior role with more client exposure and a path toward greater responsibility, let's talk. I'm happy to share more confidentially.
