Job description

Senior Tax Associate | West Palm Beach, FL | Hybrid

A CPA firm where people join, settle in and tend to stay for years. There's a reason for that.

I've helped two people join this firm over the past year, both from larger CPA practices, and the feedback has been excellent. They're enjoying the flexibility, the supportive culture and, quite simply, they're happier.

This established West Palm Beach CPA firm has been around since the 1980s, with long standing clients, very low staff turnover and Partners who care about the people working for them.

One Partner's philosophy sums it up perfectly:

"Family comes first. Always."

And the working hours reflect that. Busy season doesn't properly ramp up until March, with hours peaking at around 50 to 55 for just a few weeks. There's hybrid working, flexibility around family commitments and the freedom to manage your day without someone constantly looking over your shoulder.

You'll be working directly with experienced Managers and Partners who want to help you develop, giving you plenty of exposure to interesting clients and opportunities to take on more responsibility as you progress.

What about the work?

You'll work across a varied client base including HNW individuals, Partnerships, Trusts and Non Profit organisations, preparing and reviewing returns and developing your technical skills.

Some Non Profit tax experience is essential for this role, particularly exposure to Form 990, alongside broader experience with Forms 1040, 1041 and 1065.

You'll have direct exposure to clients, support from experienced professionals and the opportunity to build your career within a firm that promotes long term relationships.

What can you expect in return?

• Hybrid working
• competitive compensation
• 401(k) match
• health
• dental and vision insurance
• plus discretionary summer and Christmas bonuses

They're looking for someone with recent Public Accounting tax experience who has worked with Non Profit clients and is ready to continue developing at Senior level.

If you're looking for somewhere you can grow your career without spending your entire life at your desk, this could be a lovely move.

I've seen how well my previous placements have settled in here, and I'd be happy to tell you more.
