• Calculate and prepare personal and business estimated federal and state tax payments.
• Interpret, investigate, and respond to correspondence from the IRS and other taxing agencies.
• Develop tax and financial strategies and implement them in coordination with the wealth management team.
• Partner with advisors to deliver integrated planning solutions that optimize clients’ overall financial picture.
• Stay current with evolving tax law and proactively communicate relevant changes to clients and colleagues.

Client Communication & Service

• Communicate directly with clients and staff to ensure timely, accurate delivery of financial statements and tax documents.
• Maintain a client-first focus, delivering results with professionalism and care throughout the engagement lifecycle.

Professional Development & Team Contribution

• Maintain a strong commitment to continuing education and professional growth.
• Contribute to a collaborative team environment, with interest in growing into a managerial or supervisory capacity over time.

What We’re Looking For

• CPA or EA designation highly preferred.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in the preparation and review of federal and state tax returns.
• Tax planning and wealth management coordination experience.
• Experience in client-facing roles with strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• RIA industry experience preferred.
• Proficiency with tax software including Lacerte, TaxDome, and SurePrep; Microsoft Office Suite; QuickBooks Online and Desktop.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-oriented environment.
• Supervisory experience a plus, with a desire to grow into a leadership role.
