Join a firm that's actually growing-and wants you to lead it.

This is not a typical CPA firm environment. This is a fast-growing, forward-thinking organization building more than a compliance practice-focused on developing trusted advisors and future leaders.

  • Perform high-level tax research and resolve technical issues
  • Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local tax regulations

Tax Planning & Advisory

  • Lead proactive tax planning strategies for clients
  • Identify tax-saving opportunities and long-term planning solutions
  • Provide advisory services beyond compliance

Client Relationship Management

  • Lead client meetings and tax strategy discussions
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to business owners and individuals
  • Communicate complex tax concepts clearly and effectively

Team Leadership & Development

  • Mentor, train, and develop tax staff and senior accountants
  • Provide technical guidance and support

Preferred

  • CPA license
  • 7 years of public accounting tax experience
  • Experience reviewing complex tax returns
  • Strong project management and multitasking skills
  • Excellent communication and leadership abilities
  • Prior tax leadership or management experience
  • Experience with tax planning and advisory services
  • Master's degree in Taxation or Accounting (MST or MAcc)

Career Growth

  • Path to Director or Partner-level leadership
  • Opportunity to build and scale a tax department
  • Influence firm strategy and long-term growth
