Job Description

Tax Strategy CPA — The Job Other Firms Won't Give You

This isn't a compliance role. We're looking for a CPA who gets genuinely fired up about tax strategy — someone who'd rather spend an afternoon structuring an S-corp election or walking a client through a cost segregation study than grinding through a stack of W-2 returns.

At Accent Financial Services, we work with profitable business owners and high-net-worth individuals who pay us to think. We handle the complex, strategic, high-leverage work that other firms refer out. We need a CPA with the ambition and horsepower to own that work, run point on client strategy, and help us grow.

If you're hungry to do work that actually moves the needle for clients — and to be paid accordingly — keep reading.

Compensation: $100,000 base, full-time. Bonus and growth track available for the right fit.

What You'll Own

• Complex client tax work — multi-state filings, K-1 heavy returns, real estate, partnerships, S-corps, and high-net-worth individuals. The returns that make other CPAs call their mentor.
• Tax reviews — you're the final set of eyes before a return goes out. Catch issues, coach the preparer, protect the client, sign with confidence.
• Tax strategy meetings — quarterly and year-end planning with business owners. Entity structuring, retirement vehicles, depreciation strategy, owner compensation, Section 199A, cost seg, 1031s. The stuff that makes clients say, "Why didn't my last CPA tell me this?"
• IRS resolution — notices, audits, offers in compromise, installment agreements, penalty abatement. Be the calm professional when a client is panicking.
• Review accounting and bookkeeping work — month-end closes, financial statement review, making sure the books are returnable before tax season starts.
• Client meetings — onboarding, planning, review, and advisory calls. Build real relationships with business owners who want a tax strategist, not a tax preparer.

What We're Looking For

• Active CPA license (required).
• 4+ years of public accounting experience with strong tax exposure.
• Real fluency with business returns (1120, 1120-S, 1065) and complex individual returns (1040 with K-1s, Schedule E, multi-state).
• A genuine interest in strategy, not just compliance. You should get more satisfaction from saving a client $40K in tax than from filing 40 returns.
• Sharp client communicator — you can explain a §1031 exchange or a reasonable-comp analysis without making anyone feel stupid.
• High-ownership mindset. You move work forward without needing someone standing over you.
• Hungry to grow — with the firm, with a book, with your own skill set.

Bonus Points For

• IRS representation experience (Circular 230, Form 2848, collections).
• QuickBooks Online proficiency and the eye to spot a misclassified expense from across the room.
• Experience reviewing staff work and mentoring preparers.
• A book of clients or referral network you'd bring with you — we'll reward this.
• Interest in advanced planning: cost seg, R&D credits, opportunity zones, trust/estate strategy.

Why You'll Want This Role

• $100,000 base compensation with clear growth levers.
• A client roster worth working with — profitable businesses, long-term relationships, minimal one-off tire-kickers.
• Strategy is the job, not a side hustle — you'll spend real time advising, not just preparing.
• A team that respects the work — your reviews get read, your recommendations get implemented.
• Reasonable workload — we don't stack 80 returns on one CPA and ask them to review 40 more.
• Professional development and CPE covered — plus an owner who wants you learning the sharpest strategies on the market.
• Path to ownership — real equity conversation on the table for the right long-term fit.
• Stable firm built to last, not flip.

The Honest Version

Tax season is still tax season — we won't pretend otherwise. Outside of the crunch, we protect your evenings and weekends, and we believe the work should be interesting enough that you want to show up for it. We're small enough that what you do matters, and stable enough that your job doesn't depend on chasing every new trend. We
