Jobbeschreibung

We are a full-service tax and accounting firm operating at serious volume. Every year we process 2,500+ tax returns, manage payroll for 250+ active payroll clients, handle full-service bookkeeping for businesses of all sizes, assist with new business formations, and serve as the complete back-end financial operation for clients who range from individual filers and military families to contractors, farmers, small business owners, and multi-entity enterprises. This isn't a boutique practice - it's a high-volume, high-expectation environment where the work is real, the pace is real, and the impact on our clients' financial lives is very real. We run lean, we run fast, and we hold ourselves to a high standard across every service line. We're not looking for someone to sit at a desk and look busy. We're looking for someone who makes the whole operation run better.

About This Role

Tax season here is not a gentle ramp-up. It's 2,500+ returns, a team that moves fast, and clients with real complexity - business entities, rental properties, self-employment, multi-state filing, and more. You'll be preparing returns at volume and at quality, providing year-round planning to clients who rely on us as their long-term financial partner, and operating with a level of technical proficiency that you'll be proud of. EA required. This isn't entry-level - it's for someone who's already earned their credentials and wants to put them to serious use.

What You'll Do

• Prepare individual and business tax returns: 1040, 1120-S, 1065, 1120, 1041, and 990
• Provide year-round tax planning advice - not just show up at filing time
• Support monthly client bookkeeping and accounting
• Build and manage direct client relationships - you'll know your clients by name, and they'll call you first
• Analyze transactions, prepare reports, and maintain accurate financial records
• Stay current on federal, state, and local tax law - because the rules keep changing and our clients count on us knowing
• Any duty assigned by your supervisor is part of this role - there may be times you're asked to step outside your usual scope, and when that happens, it's expected that you'll show up and work as directed

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years of public accounting / tax return preparation experience - required
• Degree in Accounting - required
• Active Enrolled Agent (EA) required (CPA accepted as alternative)
• Experience with Drake Tax - preferred
• Proficiency in QuickBooks Desktop and/or QuickBooks Online
• Strong working knowledge of MS Office (Excel especially)
• Solid understanding of GAAP and tax law across entity types - this isn't the place to be figuring that out
• Detail-oriented, client-focused, and fully discreet with confidential information

Physical Requirements

• Primarily sedentary role requiring extended periods sitting at a desk and working at a computer
• Regularly required to use hands for typing, filing, and general computer operation
• Occasionally required to stand, walk, bend, stoop, or reach
• Must be able to lift and/or carry up to 50 lbs occasionally (e.g., a case of copy paper)
• Ability to perform repetitive tasks including typing and document handling

What We Offer

• Competitive salary, commensurate with experience
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• A team that knows what it's doing - and a firm that's growing
• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Disability insurance
• Health insurance
• Life insurance
• Paid time off
• Vision insurance
