Tax Accountant

Tax Accountant

Addison, TX | North Dallas

$80,000 to $100,000

Looking for a public accounting firm where your work will actually be seen?

There comes a point when producing good work is no longer enough.

You want more responsibility, better access to experienced people, and the chance to work on assignments that help you grow.

Too often, the more interesting work stays with Managers, Partner access is limited, and development depends on waiting for an opportunity to open up.

This role offers something different.

A well established independent CPA firm in Addison TX is looking for a Tax Accountant who wants to continue building a long term career in public accounting within a smaller and more accessible team.

You will work alongside experienced professionals who remain close to the clients and the work. Your contribution will be visible, your questions will be answered, and you will have the opportunity to take on more responsibility as your confidence grows.

You will also work across a broad mix of individual and business tax engagements, giving you the variety needed to become a more rounded tax professional rather than becoming too specialised too early.

Joining during the summer gives you time to understand the clients, build relationships with the team, and settle into the firm before the September and October deadlines arrive.

Why this opportunity stands out

You will work directly with experienced leaders who remain actively involved in client engagements.

You will gain broad exposure across individual and business taxation.

You will strengthen your technical skills through practical guidance and regular access to senior professionals.

Your work will be visible, giving you the opportunity to build trust and take on greater responsibility.

You will join a stable independent firm with long standing client relationships and a collaborative team.

What you will be doing

Prepare federal and state tax returns for individuals and business entities.

Work across Forms 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120S.

Support more complex tax engagements as your experience develops.

Work alongside senior staff and Partners on client assignments.

Gain exposure to tax planning and advisory work.

Build lasting client relationships and become a trusted point of contact.

Assist with bookkeeping and payroll support where needed.

What the firm is looking for

Around five years of public accounting tax experience.

Experience preparing returns for both individuals and business entities.

Someone who enjoys learning and wants to build a long term career in public accounting.

A proactive team member who takes ownership and is comfortable asking questions.

CPA, EA, or progress towards either qualification would be welcomed, but is not essential.

You do not need to match every requirement perfectly to start a conversation. Attitude, judgement, potential, and long term fit can be just as important as matching every point on paper.

Interested?

Apply through LinkedIn or call me on 972 807 7244 for an informal and confidential conversation.

I am usually available from 6:00am CST and again after 5:00pm CST.
