Job description

There's a version of this job where you spend March fixing other people's returns and never once speak to the person who owns them. Plenty of senior managers are living it, on more money than they'd admit to.

This is the other version. A Los Alamitos CPA firm of under 25, office based, $155k to $190k, where the senior manager is the person the client rings and the person who signs. Individuals, businesses and the trusts in between.

Why this firm:

• You hold the client relationships rather than inheriting a review queue
• CPAs and EAs on the bench, so a technical question gets answered in the room
• Nonprofit and trust work in the mix alongside the business returns
• Office based, 5 days. It's a small firm and your name goes on more of the work

What you'll be doing:

• Final review and signing on individual, business and trust returns
• Planning work with owners and families
• Taking the technical questions from the staff below you
• Working with the partners on the bigger clients

What you'll have:

• CPA
• 8 or more years in public accounting tax
• Comfortable being the last set of eyes
