Position Summary 

We are seeking a CPA with Big 4 public-accounting tax experience who remains close to the work. The Senior will prepare partnership, S corporation, and C corporation returns and related state filings; build reconciled workpapers; own assigned open items and deadlines; and communicate clearly with managers, staff, and clients. The right candidate brings the technical discipline of a large firm and wants meaningful responsibility in a growing practice.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare federal Forms 1065, 1120-S, and 1120 and related state income and franchise returns, estimates, extensions, and supporting schedules for closely held and middle-market businesses.

• Handle routine multistate compliance, including state modifications and apportionment workpapers; identify nexus, sourcing, pass-through entity tax, combined reporting, or other complex matters that require Manager or SALT specialist input.
• Own assigned workplans, information requests, open-item lists, review-note responses, and status updates. Surface missing data, technical questions, scope changes, and deadline risks early.
• Research and document tax issues, proposed return positions, and elections with enough support for Manager review; seek consultation before taking a material position.
• Communicate directly with clients on routine information requests and progress, and coordinate with audit, advisory, or other tax teams when assigned.
• Guide staff on discrete preparation tasks, provide first-pass feedback where appropriate, and help improve reusable workpapers, checklists, workflow tools, and filing controls.
• Bring potential planning opportunities involving entity structure, owner transactions, accounting methods, credits, or state matters to the Manager for assessment.
