Tax Associate / Tax Senior | Ridgefield, CT | Hybrid | $80-100K Base bonuses | Path to Partner
About the Firm
Send resume to Michael@SherwoodSP.com
Our client is a small, family-owned CPA firm in Ridgefield, CT with a tight-knit team of five. They have built a loyal client base over the years and are looking to add a tax professional who wants more than just a seat at a desk. This is a rare chance to join a firm where you will work directly with ownership every day and have a real say in where the practice goes from here.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Genuine path to Partner. Ownership is planning a transition over the next five years and intends to stay on during and after it. They are looking for someone ambitious who wants to grow into a leadership and ownership role.
- Flexibility that is real, not just a line in a job post. Hybrid schedule, come and go as you need to, as long as the work gets done.
- Reasonable hours. Some Saturdays may be needed during busy season, but the firm works hard to keep hours manageable year round.
- Direct access to the owners and to clients from day one. No layers, no bureaucracy.
What You'll Do
- Prepare individual, business, and other tax returns using ProSeries
- Work in QuickBooks to support client bookkeeping and tax prep
- Take on review responsibilities and client communication as you grow
- Help shape the future of the firm as it plans for succession
What We're Looking For
- 2 years of public accounting tax experience (Associate and Senior level candidates welcome)
- Experience with ProSeries and QuickBooks is a plus
- CPA or on the path to CPA preferred
- Someone self-motivated who wants to build something long term, not just punch a clock
Compensation and Benefits
- $80-100K base, depending on experience
- Monthly benefits contribution of $500 to $1,500 toward your coverage
- Hybrid and flexible schedule
- Clear runway toward Partner
If you have been looking for a small firm environment where your work is visible, your schedule is your own, and there is a real path to ownership, reach out to learn more. All conversations are confidential.
Salary : $80,000 - $100,000
