Senior Tax Accountant

Salary: $90,000 – $110,000 Bonus

About The Opportunity

We are partnering with a growing, well-established CPA firm that is experiencing significant demand and literally turning away new business due to capacity. They are looking to add a Senior Tax Accountant who wants meaningful client exposure, strong leadership visibility, and a clear path for career growth.

This is a high-impact role in a small, collaborative firm where you will work directly with ownership and play a key role in both client delivery and process improvement.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Direct access to ownership – high visibility with firm leadership, especially during busy season
  • Clear path to leadership – opportunity to move into management and ultimately partnership
  • Future leadership opportunity – potential to lead the tax department
  • Firm growth = opportunity – excess demand means strong stability and long-term upside
  • Entrepreneurial environment – business development bonuses reward growth mindset

Responsibilities

  • Prepare and review individual and business tax returns
  • Sign off on completed returns (credential required)
  • Serve as a key client contact and provide advisory support
  • Identify and implement process improvements across the tax function
  • Collaborate closely with firm leadership on tax strategy and operations

Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of hands-on tax experience (individual business returns)
  • CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA)
    • CPA preferred, but not required
    • Must be able to sign tax returns
  • Strong client communication and relationship management skills
  • Interest in contributing to firm growth and operational improvement
Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary: $90K – $110K
  • Bonus potential: performance business development incentives
  • 20 days PTO starting out
  • Comp time for overtime during busy season
  • Comprehensive benefits: 5 medical plans through Cigna
  • Team culture perks including happy hours and social events
