Tax Preparer

Distinct Recruitment
Sarasota, FL Full Time
POSTED ON 6/14/2026 CLOSED ON 6/25/2026

What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Preparer position at Distinct Recruitment?

Some accounting firms grow by getting bigger.

Others grow by getting better.

This Sarasota CPA firm has been serving clients for more than 50 years and has built its reputation the old fashioned way.

Good people.

Good service.

Long term client relationships.

And a team that genuinely enjoys working together.

They're not specifically looking for another CPA.

They already have several.

What they're looking for is someone who knows tax, enjoys working with clients and wants to continue learning and developing.

Someone who takes pride in doing things properly.

The role

You'll work across a broad range of tax engagements and client situations including:

  • Individual tax returns
  • S Corporations
  • Partnerships
  • C Corporations
  • Trusts and Estates

The firm serves a wide variety of clients across different industries, so no two days tend to look exactly the same.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being a tax generalist rather than being pushed into a narrow niche.

Bookkeeping experience would be helpful, but tax preparation is the primary focus.

As you become more comfortable, there will be opportunities to take on additional responsibility and become more involved with clients.

Why people join

  • $75k - $80k salary
  • Established firm with more than 50 years of history
  • Flexible working environment
  • Direct access to experienced leadership
  • Strong training and support
  • Broad exposure across a diverse client base
  • Growing responsibilities and long term career progression

What stands out

Many firms say they offer variety.

This one genuinely does.

The client base is broad, the work is varied and the leadership team wants people who are interested in learning all aspects of the business.

They're looking for someone who can prepare returns today but who also wants to continue growing over the coming years.

Who they're looking for

  • 3 years of tax preparation experience
  • Experience preparing individual and business tax returns
  • Experience with S Corporations and Partnerships preferred
  • Bookkeeping experience would be beneficial
  • Experience with Thomson Reuters software would be a plus
  • Strong Excel skills preferred
  • Someone who takes ownership of their work and enjoys helping clients

The honest bit

This probably isn't the right fit if you're looking for a huge corporate structure or layers of management.

But if you enjoy working closely with clients, want exposure to a broad range of tax work and like the idea of joining an established firm where people know your name and your contribution matters, it's worth a conversation.
