Tax Senior – HNWI & 1040s & Partnerships
📍 Horsham, PA
💰 High Base Salary Bonus Clear Growth Track
Tired of public accounting environments that feel corporate, outdated, and built entirely around burnout season?
This isn’t that.
MacKai West is partnered with a growing CPA firm in the Horsham area that has built something genuinely difficult to find in public accounting:
- a younger, collaborative culture,
- strong compensation,
- excellent work-life balance,
- and a team of people you’d actually want to grab a beer with after work.
The firm continues to grow aggressively through both client demand and reputation in the market, creating significant long-term opportunity for strong tax professionals who want more than just another busy season grind.
The Opportunity
The firm is seeking a Tax Senior to work across a diverse and sophisticated client base with exposure to:
- High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs)
- Complex 1040 returns
- Partnership taxation
- Real estate clients
- Construction industry clients
- Trust & estate work
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys client interaction, wants meaningful technical exposure, and is looking for a firm where career growth is realistic—not just something leadership talks about.
You’ll work alongside sharp, approachable professionals in an environment that values quality work without the unnecessarily rigid culture often associated with traditional CPA firms.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Prepare and review complex individual (1040) tax returns
- Work on partnership, trust, and business entity returns
- Support a variety of real estate and construction-related clients
- Participate in tax planning and client advisory projects
- Build relationships directly with clients and firm leadership
- Mentor junior staff and assist with workflow management during busy seasons
Why Candidates Are Interested in This Firm
- Legitimately positive team culture
- Strong compensation packages
- Real work-life balance compared to most public accounting firms
- Leadership that is accessible and invested in employee growth
- Diverse client exposure that keeps the work interesting
- Clear long-term advancement opportunities
What They’re Looking For
- Public accounting tax experience required
- Experience with 1040s and partnership returns strongly preferred
- Exposure to HNWI clients, real estate, construction, or trust & estate work is a plus
- CPA or CPA-track preferred
- Strong communication skills and collaborative mindset
The Bottom Line
This is the kind of firm people tend to stay at once they join:
good people, strong leadership, high-level client work, and a culture that feels modern instead of transactional.
If you’re looking for a Tax Senior opportunity where you can continue growing professionally without sacrificing your entire life to busy season, this is worth a conversation.
