Job description

You've been told you're next in line at your firm by somebody who has no intention of going anywhere. It isn't a lie exactly. It just isn't a date.

This is a Brea firm of under 20 people doing tax, accounting and consulting for businesses and the families behind them. $122k to $149k, office based, 5 days. A handful of partners are already in place, so nobody is pretending the chair is empty, but a manager here reviews and signs instead of waiting for permission to.

Why this firm:

• $122k to $149k, Brea
• Business tax and individual work in the same week, not one return type on repeat
• You review and you sign, from the start
• Several partners in a firm this small, so a question never waits a day for an answer
• Office based, 5 days. No hybrid on this one

What you'll be doing:

• Reviewing business and individual returns
• Planning work for owners
• Dealing with the notices and audit letters when they land

What you'll have:

• CPA or EA
• 5 or more years of business and individual tax
• Able to talk to an owner about their own numbers
