Company Information

Well establoished Navigator Recruiting client is nearly a 50-year-old stable local CPA firm in Greenwood Village, CO, offering tax and audit services to non-public companies in and around the Denver metro area. The company provides a team-driven working environment and an office environment where each individual is acknowledged for their contribution to the continued success of the company. Clientele make-up is 60% oil & gas and real estate and 40% other industries. The tax accountant will be expected to prepare individual tax returns and simpler business returns.

• Preparation of federal and state (not many multi-state) individual, business and trust income tax returns
• Preparation of book/tax adjustments for tax returns and financial statements
• Preparation of year-end and quarterly tax estimates
• Assist with special planning and research projects
• Starting out, the tax accountant will prepare mostly individual tax returns and gradually will begin to prepare more business returns (mostly S Corp and Partnership returns) and there are several clients in oil & gas and real estate. Some of the returns are more challenging and some of the returns are very basic, so there appears to be a nice mix.
