We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Tax Senior Associate to join our Trust & Estate Tax team within our National Tax practice!

YOUR TEAM.

This position is situated within our National Tax Team and will focus on Trust & Estate work, along with the potential to help with 1040/1041 work as well. You will partner with other technical experts within the tax field and have the opportunity to learn and develop at a rapid pace!

We believe it’s important to balance work with everyday life – and make time for enjoyment and fun.
