Job description

Senior Tax Accountant | West Palm Beach | Hybrid | $85,000 to $110,000

I've recruited two people into this team over the past year, both from larger CPA firms, and the feedback since they joined has been remarkably similar. They're happier, they like the people they work with and they finally feel like they can build a career in Public Accounting without arranging the rest of their life around it.

One of the Partners summed it up better than I could:

"Family comes first. Always."

And from what I've seen, they mean it.

This is an established West Palm Beach CPA firm that's been around since the 1980s. People stay here for years, clients do too, and the Partners have created the sort of environment where you're trusted to do your job without layers of management watching over you.

They're growing steadily and regularly turning away work, so they're looking for a Senior Tax Accountant to join the team.

You'll get a really good mix of tax work across HNW individuals, Partnerships, Trusts and Non Profit organizations, with direct access to the Partners and plenty of opportunity to keep developing technically.

There's no expectation that you arrive knowing everything. You'll be surrounded by experienced people who'll actually take the time to help you learn, while giving you more responsibility as you're ready for it.

The hours are another big reason people stay.

Busy season doesn't really kick in until March and generally peaks at around 50 to 55 hours for a few weeks. Hybrid working is available from day one, and once you've settled in and built relationships with the team, there's potential for even more flexibility.

What you'll get

• $85,000 to $110,000, depending on experience
• Hybrid working from day one
• Busy season typically around 50 to 55 hours at peak
• Health, dental and vision insurance
• Summer and Christmas discretionary bonuses
• Direct access to approachable Partners
• A team with very low staff turnover
• Proper progression without needing to sacrifice your evenings to get it

What they're looking for

• 4+ years of recent Public Accounting tax experience
• Experience with 1040, 1041 and 1065 returns
• Some Form 990 experience is required
• Comfortable preparing returns with some review experience preferred
• CPA or EA is welcomed, but isn't essential

This probably isn't the move for someone who wants the biggest firm name possible on their resume.

But if you want interesting work, good people around you and a firm you could actually see yourself staying with for the next five or ten years, it's worth knowing about.

Flexible start dates are available around the September 15 and October 15 deadlines.
