BA Global Talent is seeking a Senior Tax Supervisor in North Carolina to join a small CPA firm specializing in tax strategy, compliance, and advisory services for small and medium-sized businesses and high-net-worth individuals nationwide. This is a direct-hire opportunity with the firm, following a flexible hybrid work schedule.

The firm’s tax team focuses exclusively on tax services, allowing you to deepen your tax expertise without shifting to bookkeeping or assurance work during the off-season. Beyond compliance, you’ll continue developing as a trusted tax advisor, helping clients anticipate tax issues, evaluate planning opportunities, and make informed financial decisions.

Responsibilities:

• Prepare and review complex business and individual tax returns.

• Conduct year-end tax projections and develop proactive tax planning strategies.

• Serve as a trusted point of contact for clients, addressing tax questions and identifying planning opportunities.

• Research complex tax matters, evaluate alternatives, and recommend well-supported solutions.

• Identify deductions, credits, tax-saving strategies, and other opportunities to add value for clients.

• Review work prepared by other tax professionals and provide clear, constructive guidance.

• Support and mentor staff while helping keep engagements, deliverables, and deadlines on track.

Qualifications:

• Active CPA license or actively pursuing CPA licensure.

• 4–6 years of tax preparation experience within a public accounting or CPA firm, including experience working through tax seasons.

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.

• Experience preparing and reviewing business and individual U.S. tax returns.

• Strong tax research, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

• Ability to manage multiple client engagements and deadlines with accuracy and attention to detail.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with CCH Axcess Tax, PDFlyer, Podio, ShareFile, QuickBooks, or Xero.

• Experience with complex business tax matters and proactive tax planning.

• Experience owning tax engagements from preparation and review through final client delivery.

• Experience serving as a primary client contact and discussing complex tax matters and planning opportunities.

• Experience mentoring, coaching, or providing technical guidance to tax staff.

• Interest in taking on increasing supervisory and team leadership responsibilities.

Benefits:

• Annual Bonus: Target bonus is 10% of base salary. Historically, employees have received between 15% and 30%, depending on individual performance and firm results.

• Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA): Maximum monthly HRA contribution available to all employees.

• Client Referral Commission: Employees who bring in and manage new clients receive 20% of the client’s first-year billings. This performance-based incentive is separate from the standard compensation package. Historically, payouts have ranged from approximately $1,000 to more than $30,000, averaging around $12,000.

• Expense Reimbursement: Approved work-related expenses are reimbursed through an accountable reimbursement plan.

Location: Wake Forest, North Carolina, within commuting distance of major nearby cities, including Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill.

Work Arrangement: This position follows a flexible hybrid work model.

Only resumes submitted in English will be considered.
