What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Tax Associate position at Prevail Recruiting?
We're a well-established, full-service CPA firm in the Inland Empire with a strong specialization in the dairy and agricultural industries. Our model is built on long-term client partnerships — we get to know operations deeply, not just at tax time.

The role
A well-rounded Staff Accountant position covering general ledger work, reviews and compilations, business and individual tax returns, payroll, business property tax, and tax planning projects.
