• Manage a portfolio of clients as their primary point of contact - planning, projections, IRS/state notices, and year-round advisory.
• Lead tax planning and consulting engagements, including entity structuring and multi-state issues.
• Mentor, train, and develop tax staff and seniors; manage workflow and deadlines through busy season.
• Support a smooth transition and retention of clients joining the firm through a recent practice acquisition.
• Keep current on federal and Louisiana tax law and identify planning opportunities for clients.

What we're looking for

• CPA license (active) required.
• 5-7+ years of tax experience in public accounting, with at least 2 years reviewing returns and supervising staff.
• Strong technical knowledge across individual and business taxation; comfort with multi-entity and closely-held business clients.
• Excellent client-relationship and communication skills - this role is client-facing.
• Experience with ProSeries and GoSystem Tax RS required; QuickBooks a plus.
• Bachelor's in accounting; Master's in Taxation a plus.

What we offer

• Competitive salary (starting at $90,000, commensurate with experience) plus performance bonus.
• Room to grow as the firm expands, with advancement opportunities for strong performers.
• CPA license, dues, and CPE fully covered.
• Retirement plan with match and PTO.
• A close-knit team where you'll have real ownership of client relationships, not just a cog in a large machine.
