About the Role

We’re hiring a Tax Staff Accountant to lead and support our growing bookkeeping team. This role is ideal for an experienced tax professional with a passion for mentorship, process improvement, and leadership.

Our tax team is stretched thin — and we’re looking for someone to bridge the gap. You’ll help strengthen our bookkeeping department, improve workflows, and provide high-level support to both staff and clients.

This is not a remote position. You'll work onsite with a dynamic, engaged team — and help make our already-great office even better.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead, train, and mentor the bookkeeping team, serving as the go-to expert on processes and complex questions.

  • Review bookkeeping work for accuracy, completeness, and tax-readiness.

  • Develop and maintain SOPs and training materials for internal use.

  • Provide elevated support to bookkeeping clients through direct communication and strategic insights.

  • Collaborate with the tax team and assist with overflow during peak seasons (e.g., tax prep, client follow-ups).

  • Identify opportunities for operational improvements and increased client satisfaction.

What We’re Looking For

  • 5 years of tax preparation experience in public accounting.

  • 5 years of hands-on bookkeeping experience.

  • Proficiency in QuickBooks Online/Desktop and related accounting tools.

  • Prior leadership or team management experience (3 years preferred).

  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills — able to coach, train, and build trust with both clients and staff.

  • Experience in CFO-level oversight or analytical review is a strong plus.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment.

  • A passion for mentoring and elevating team performance.

What Success Looks Like

  • Bookkeepers work independently, confidently, and consistently.

  • Client satisfaction and year-round engagement improves.

  • The tax team experiences fewer escalations and bottlenecks.

  • Internal workflows are more streamlined and efficient.

  • Our team — and our clients — are happier and more supported.

Perks & Benefits

  • Health Insurance (50% company-paid) with HSA option (75% company-paid)

  • Dental & Vision Insurance (75% company-paid)

  • Short- & Long-Term Disability and Life Insurance (100% company-paid)

  • 401(k) with 3% match 2% profit sharing (after 1 year)

  • PTO:

    • 40 hours in Year 1

    • 80 hours in Year 2

    • Note: PTO for vacations is not granted during tax season (Jan–Apr); emergency/sick leave is still honored.

  • 7 Paid Holidays, with extra paid time off for specific holidays

  • Performance & Holiday Bonuses

  • Quarterly Reviews in Year 1; Annual Reviews thereafter

  • Onsite perks: Fully stocked refreshment bar, gym, pool, staff lunches, and annual team events
