• Provide proactive tax planning and consulting to clients throughout the year.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for clients, building long-term relationships and delivering exceptional service.
• Research tax issues and provide practical guidance on evolving tax regulations.
• Review the work of junior staff and provide coaching and mentorship to support their professional development.
• Work directly with the firm's Owner on client strategy, firm initiatives, and special projects.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes while contributing to the continued growth of the practice.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or related field.
• CPA preferred (or actively pursuing).
• Approximately 4-8 years of public accounting tax experience.

Why This Opportunity?

• Work directly alongside the firm's Ownership with significant visibility and mentorship.
• Entrepreneurial culture where your ideas and contributions have a real impact.

• Opportunity to help shape the future of a growing practice.
• Small, collaborative team with strong support and flexibility.
• Competitive compensation and long-term career growth.
