Job description

3+ years’ Public Accounting experience | EA or CPA preferred

You’ve been doing tax for a few years now.

You probably don’t need someone checking in every five minutes asking where you’re up to.

At this boutique firm, you’ll be trusted to get on with your work, speak directly with clients and deal with the IRS yourself without everything needing to go through three layers of people first.

That freedom is probably the biggest selling point here.

You’ll have direct access to the Partner, but you won’t have someone constantly sitting between you and the client.

And autonomy doesn’t mean being thrown in at the deep end either.

It’s a close knit team, people know what they’re doing and there’s support there when you need it.

Day to day, the role is mainly focused on tax preparation, with some review exposure and quite a bit of IRS correspondence.

The client base is varied too. You’ll work with individuals, small businesses and expats, so this will suit someone who likes having a bit of variety rather than seeing the same type of return all year.

The culture is another reason I like this one.

It’s a smaller, family focused firm and they understand that sometimes life gets in the way. If you need some flexibility for something personal, the reaction isn’t going to be an eye roll and a reminder of your billable hours. You’ll be supported.

That probably tells you more about the culture than a paragraph full of buzzwords ever could.

You’ll also get a hybrid schedule from day one with 2 days working from home, enhanced PTO, full health insurance including dental and vision, plus a competitive bonus structure.

If you’re looking for a role where you can be trusted, deal directly with clients and have a bit more ownership over your day, this could be a really good fit.

Resume not ready? That’s fine. You don’t need to have decided you’re leaving your current firm either.
