About the Role

The Staff Accountant plays a key role in managing monthly client accounting engagements from start to finish, and prepares individual and business tax returns during busy season — giving this role real exposure to the firm’s in-house tax practice from day one.

This is a plug-and-play opportunity for an experienced professional who can independently own the monthly close process, including reconciliations, journal entries, and financial statement preparation, with a natural growth path into a Senior Accountant / Tax Senior role.

• Review work when applicable and ensure accuracy of account classifications and reporting.

• Communicate with clients as needed to gather documentation and clarify transactions (initially limited client-facing responsibility).
• Utilize QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online extensively as a power user.

Requirements

• 5+ years of accounting/tax experience, preferably within a public accounting environment (candidates with 8–10+ years are encouraged to apply).
• Strong understanding of general ledger accounting, reconciliations, adjusting journal entries, and financial statement preparation.
• Advanced proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online required (power user level).
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple client deadlines.
• Located in Eastern or Central time zone.

Benefits

• Compensation: $90,000–$150,000, depending on experience.
• Busy season bonus: Performance bonuses paid in June and December, based on individual and firm performance.
• Work arrangement: Remote or hybrid, depending on proximity to a firm office.
• Paid Time Off: Flexible/unlimited PTO.
• Retirement: 401(k) with company match.
• Health coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Professional development: CPE / professional development budget.
• Growth path: A clear track toward a Senior Accountant / Tax Senior role within the firm’s in-house tax practice.
• Culture: A collaborative, team-oriented environment that values autonomy, precision, and professional growth.
