What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tax Accountant position at LHH?
I am hiring for my client, a growing tax and accounting firm in Gilbert, AZ, that is looking to add an experienced Enrolled Agent or Tax Accountant to its team.
This is a newly created role for someone who knows tax, enjoys working directly with clients, and can jump in. EA certification is preferred, but not a dealbreaker for a strong tax professional with the right hands-on experience.
What you’ll be doing:
- Preparing individual, corporate, partnership, and estate tax returns
- Supporting tax planning, compliance, and more complex client needs
- Working directly with clients and building lasting relationships
- Reviewing financials and completing reconciliations as needed
- Utilizing QuickBooks and tax preparation software
- Working independently while collaborating with a close-knit team
- Potentially growing into ownership of an assigned client base
What they're looking for:
- 3 years of hands-on tax accounting experience
- Strong tax preparation and general accounting knowledge
- QuickBooks experience
- Experience with Lacerte or similar tax software is a plus
- EA, CPA, or similar credential is a big plus, but not required
- Strong client-facing communication skills
- Someone who can step in, take ownership, and work independently
- A team-oriented personality looking for a long-term home
The details:
- Competitive salary
- Bonus opportunities
- Paid vacation and sick time 11 paid holidays
- Paid training and continuing education
- Opportunities for advancement
- Generally 40–45 hours per week, with additional hours possible during tax season
- Fully onsite in Gilbert, AZ
This could be a great fit for someone who enjoys the tax side of accounting but wants more visibility, client ownership, and room to grow with a smaller firm.
Salary : $75,000 - $82,000
