What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Tax Accountant position at Distinct | North America?
Senior Tax Accountant | Boutique CPA firm | Hurst, TX | Big-Firm calibre, small-firm culture
$80,000 - $100,000 Bonus
Step into a small, partner-led firm where your work changes decisions, without the big-firm theatre.
You’ll handle a true mix across 1040, 1120/1120-S, 1065, 1041, serving HNW families, multi-entity owner-managed businesses, and local entrepreneurs across construction, manufacturing, distribution, retail, healthcare, and professional services. You’ll be in the room for planning, not just in the queue for review, and you’ll grow fast because the partners teach, not hover.
Why this is worth your scroll
- Small team, big say: Your judgement matters; you’ll shape files and client outcomes, not just tick boxes.
- Real client exposure: Planning calls, clear next steps, fewer “circling back” emails.
- Mentorship with receipts: Partners who explain the why, not just redline the what.
- Balanced tempo: Organized workflows and sensible expectations (Mid-Cities, not midnight).
What you’ll actually do
- Prepare and review individual, pass-through, corporate, and trust/estate returns with clean workpapers.
- Join client meetings; translate tax into plain-English recommendations.
- Spot issues early, coach juniors, and improve one process a quarter, because you can.
You’ll thrive here if you’re
- CPA or on the path, with strong public-accounting tax experience.
- Calm, curious, client-ready, and the sort who leaves files cleaner than you found them.
- Comfortable across multi-entity groups and HNW nuances (basis, K-1s, distributions, 1041 planning).
