Tax Associate

Tax Associate – Colorado Springs

Compensation: Competitive and experience based

Work Schedule: Flexible, built around how you actually work

The hook

A tax role for the person who works best when trusted, not managed. The person who prefers clarity over coaching, autonomy over oversight, and results over rituals.

Why this role genuinely stands out

You already know how to prepare returns, communicate with clients, and handle your workload without someone narrating every step. You do not need micromanagement. You do not need daily check ins. You definitely do not need a supervisor timing your lunch.

You want a firm that recognises capability instead of controlling it.

Here, independence is not a privilege. It is the operating system.

You come in, do smart work, do it well, and walk out knowing your time is still yours. No politics. No theatrics. No wasted motion.

What the role can become

It can make you the person the team trusts because you deliver consistently, quietly, and well.

It can give you more responsibility if that excites you.

Or it can give you a steady, autonomy-first career if that is the life you want.

The common thread is trust. Your work speaks for you, not your attendance or your calendar.

Firm culture in three words

Independent. Calm. Practical.

This is a team that communicates clearly, pulls its weight, and gets through tax season without chaos or drama.

Who this role is built for

Someone confident, capable, and self directed.

Someone who is motivated by competence, not supervision.

Someone who wants the room to deliver excellent work without unnecessary noise.

If you are not ready with a résumé or want more detail first, that is completely fine. Apply in the usual way or reach out to me on LinkedIn or through the Distinct Recruitment website. I am happy to talk you through the role, the culture, and what your day would actually look like before you make any decisions.

I am Abigail Stephen, Recruiter at Distinct. I care about fit, not just filling seats.

Outside work, you’ll find me at Pilates, travelling, or skiing – the same kind of balance I help candidates protect. That is the point of roles like this.
