Job description

More technical variety, more client exposure

If your current role is keeping you busy but not necessarily helping you grow, this could offer a more useful next step.

I am representing an independent CPA firm in Grapevine TX that is looking for an experienced Senior Tax Accountant or Tax Supervisor who wants broader technical exposure, more direct client contact, and closer access to the people leading the firm.

The team is small, with four people, which means your work will be visible and you will not have layers of management between you and the people who can help you develop.

You will work with individuals, privately owned businesses, and an established group of international clients.

That gives the role more variety than standard domestic compliance work and creates opportunities to build experience around more complex tax issues, planning, and client situations.

What you could gain

• You will work across a broader mix of tax matters rather than being limited to repetitive preparation work.
• You will have direct access to experienced firm leadership.
• You will build stronger client relationships and be involved throughout the year.
• You will gain exposure to international tax work alongside individual and business taxation.
• You will also have the opportunity to take greater ownership while remaining part of a close and experienced team.

What the role involves

• You will prepare and review individual and business tax returns.
• You will support tax planning engagements and more complex client work.
• You will communicate directly with clients and help answer questions throughout the year.
• You will work with international clients and build your experience in areas beyond standard domestic compliance.
• You will also support junior team members where appropriate and help keep work moving accurately and on time.

Who this role may suit

• You may already be working as a Senior Tax Accountant or Tax Supervisor within public accounting and feel ready for more ownership.
• You should have a solid tax foundation, sound technical judgement, and the confidence to work directly with clients.
• Experience with Drake or international tax would be useful, but it is not essential if you have a strong willingness to learn.
• A CPA or EA is preferred, although practical experience and strong technical ability will also be considered.
• This could be particularly appealing if you want more complexity and responsibility without moving into a much larger firm where your role becomes more narrowly defined.

Compensation

• $90,000 to $115,000, depending on experience.
