• Supervising and reviewing the work of associates, providing guidance and support as needed.
• Analyzing complex tax issues and applying your knowledge to provide solutions.
• Advising clients on a full spectrum of individual, partnership, corporate, and trust and estate tax services.
• Developing and maintaining strong client relationships, understanding their business needs and providing tailored advice.
• Recognizing opportunities to provide additional services to existing clients.
• Assisting in administrative functions as assigned by the partners.
• Evaluating the performance of professional and administrative staff.
• Preparing client billings.
• Performing other duties as assigned by the partners.

Skills And Attributes For Success

• Strong leadership skills with the ability to supervise and mentor associates & senior associates.
• Ability to prioritize effectively, multi‑task, handle multiple assignments, meet deadlines and thrive in a fast paced environment.
• Technically savvy with excellent organization, writing and communication skills.
• Detail‑oriented with a commitment to accuracy and high‑quality work.
• Excellent analytical and problem‑solving abilities.
• Proactive and self‑motivated, with a focus on personal and professional development.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid environment.

Requirements

• A minimum of six years’ experience including two years’ experience as a supervisor (or equivalent experience as deemed appropriate by the partners).
• CPA license.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Familiarity with ASC 740, SSAP 101, Form 1120‑PC, and Form 1120‑L is preferred but not required.

This position involves working both in our office and at client locations, which may require occasional travel using your personal vehicle. While moderate overtime is a possibility throughout the year, peak periods may require additional hours to meet engagement deadlines.
