Tax Preparer / Client Manager

Baker Milligan CPAs
Indianapolis, IN Full Time
POSTED ON 4/22/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/21/2026
Tax Advisor / Client Relationship Manager

Where Great Work Meets a Great Life

Location: Monticello or Logansport, IN (flexible hybrid schedule)

Compensation: $70,000-$90,000 base annual performance bonus full benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, life & disability insurance)

Make a Difference Beyond the Numbers

At Baker Milligan, our mission goes far beyond filing returns -- we partner with business owners and families to help them grow with confidence. We're a tight-knit team that values integrity, collaboration, and the kind of service that makes clients feel supported year-round.

We're looking for a Tax Advisor / Client Relationship Manager who's ready to take ownership of their client relationships and make an impact in a firm that believes in balance, not burnout.

What You'll Do

  • Manage and advise a portfolio of small business, partnership, and individual clients
  • Prepare and review federal and state tax returns (individual, partnership, and corporate)
  • Deliver thoughtful, proactive tax planning throughout the year
  • Serve as a trusted advisor and point of contact for clients
  • Collaborate closely with a supportive team that celebrates shared success

Why This Role Stands Out

Balanced Workload - Sustainable pace (around 1,800 hours annually) with flexibility built in.

Meaningful Relationships - You'll actually get to know your clients -- not just their tax IDs.

Professional Growth - A clear path toward manager-level responsibility and leadership.

Rooted & Reliable - A well-established firm with strong community connections and values.

What You Bring

  • 3 years of public accounting or tax experience (CPA or EA preferred)
  • Strong background in preparing and reviewing business and individual returns
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
  • A desire to grow your career while maintaining a healthy work-life balance

The Perks

  • Base salary: $70,000-$90,000
  • Up to $25,000 in annual incentives
  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, and 4% 401(k) match
  • Generous PTO, paid CPE, and full short/long-term disability coverage
  • A culture that respects your time, values your input, and celebrates your success
