What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Accountant position at Distinct Recruitment?
Tax Accountant | Detroit, Michigan | Hybrid (2–3 Days in Office) | CPA Firm
Most job ads talk a lot about hours. This one is really about choice.
When busy season takes you past 40 hours, you decide what happens next. You can take the extra pay, or you can bank the time as additional PTO. Some people want cash. Some want time. The important part is that it is up to you.
This is a firm that trusts its people. There is no micromanagement, no unnecessary red tape, and no one breathing down your neck. It is a place for professionals who take ownership of their work, talk things through openly, and enjoy solving real problems for clients.
If you have an idea, people listen. If you take initiative, it is noticed. If you put the effort in, it is recognised.
The firm is growing, and that brings opportunity with it. If partnership is something you want in the long term, the path is there. If you would rather focus on doing great work without added pressure, that is completely fine too. Both paths are respected.
Who tends to do well
You have experience preparing and reviewing returns. A CPA is preferred but not essential. You are proactive, curious, and comfortable working with others without needing to be micromanaged.
A quick note on applying. A lot of people treat job ads like a checklist where missing one thing means they should not apply. That is not how this works.
If the role sounds interesting, apply. Clicking apply does not lock you into anything. It just opens a conversation.
If you would rather talk first, feel free to call me on 412-991-2084. If really hides the number, you will find me on LinkedIn. I am Bethan Kirby at Distinct North America. I start at 6am EST, so mornings are good. After 5pm EST works too, although I may be slightly less lively.
If you meet most, but not all, of the requirements, apply anyway. The firms we work with care far more about good people than perfect resume.
