It's an independent CPA firm of around 15 to 25 staff, with long standing client relationships and a real track record of retention. Staff stay. Clients stay. That usually points to a well run business and a team that works well together.

• Busy season generally around 50 to 55 hours a week at peak
• 401(k), plus medical, dental and vision insurance
• Tuition assistance
• A close knit team of around 15 to 25 with strong staff and client retention

What you'll be doing

• Owning long term client relationships
• Reviewing complex returns and managing deadlines
• Communicating directly with clients
• Mentoring and supporting junior staff

What they're looking for

• At least 5 years of tax experience at a CPA or public accounting firm
• Comfortable reviewing returns, managing deadlines and developing junior staff
• CPA or EA preferred
• CCH Axcess, Lacerte or UltraTax is useful, though other software backgrounds are welcome
