We’re partnering with a well-established CPA firm that has been a trusted name in the market for many years.

• Support clients with related business needs (QuickBooks, payroll tax, sales tax).

• Represent clients before the IRS as needed.

• Supervise and mentor staff, providing feedback and supporting professional growth.

• Maintain accurate billing records and manage multiple client relationships, engagements, and projects—delivering on time and within budget.

• Keep partners informed of key developments, identify potential issues, and recommend solutions.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s in Accounting or related field preferred.

• Active CPA license required.

• At least 5+ years of progressive public accounting experience.

• Solid technical tax knowledge and client service skills.

• Strong interpersonal and leadership abilities with a team-oriented mindset.

• Proficiency with MS Office Suite and tax software such as Thomson Reuters (or equivalent).

What’s In It For You

• Clear path to ownership/partnership as part of a succession plan.

• Stable client base and supportive leadership team.

• Competitive compensation package and benefits.

• On-site role with direct access to senior leadership and decision-making.
