Job description

Tax Associate / Tax Senior | Public Accounting Firm | Glen Allen, VA | $80K to $100K Base

Our client, a well-established public accounting firm in Glen Allen, VA, is hiring an experienced Tax Associate or Senior to join their growing team. This is a true generalist environment. You’ll work across nearly every client type and industry, building the kind of broad, well-rounded experience that sets you up for a long career and a clear path into management and leadership.

Why This Role Stands Out

• You’ll do it all. Individuals, high net worth clients, partnerships, corporations, nonprofits, and small to mid-sized businesses across every industry you can think of: law firms, medical practices, restaurants, and much more.
• Real advancement opportunity. The firm is growing and wants people who will grow with it. There is a strong, visible path into management and leadership roles for those who want it.
• Busy season that respects your life. No crazy hours here. Busy season tops out around 55 hours per week, and any extra hours you put in are rewarded with an additional 2 weeks of PTO.
• Direct partner access. You’ll work closely with partners and learn from people who know every corner of the business.

What You’ll Do

• Prepare and review individual (1040) returns, with an emphasis on high net worth individuals
• Prepare business returns for partnerships, corporations, and nonprofits
• Support small and mid-sized business clients across a wide range of industries
• Assist with compilation and review engagements
• Build relationships with clients and become a trusted resource as you grow

What We’re Looking For

• Strong background in individual 1040 preparation, ideally including high net worth clients
• Exposure to business returns (partnership, corporate, nonprofit) is a plus
• CPA or progress toward the CPA preferred
• Someone who enjoys …

Compensation and Benefits

• $80,000 to $100,000 base salary, depending on experience
• 3 weeks of PTO to start, plus 2 additional weeks for extra busy season hours
• Top-tier Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage, with the firm paying 70% of premiums
• 401(k) with annual profit-sharing contributions from the firm
• Fully onsite in Glen Allen, with potential for hybrid flexibility down the road
