Senior Enrolled Agent

Full Time Position

(100% Remote – Immediate Hire)

Callow Consulting – Baltimore-Washington Area (Remote U.S.) $70,000 – $100,000/year full benefits

• Full-time
• Start immediately
  
  

Most EA jobs feel like factories. You're one of 40 preparers, everything is siloed, you never talk to clients, you're buried in basic 1040s, and no one trusts you to final-sign anything complex until you've been there 7 years. Tax season is brutal, off-season you're twiddling your thumbs, and "planning" is something only the CPAs get to do.

We do the opposite.

We are a growing, full-service CPA firm that specializes in individuals, professionals, estates & trusts, and small businesses. We are looking for one Senior Enrolled Agent who is ready to own complex work from day one, final-review and sign returns, represent clients with the IRS, and actually do proactive tax planning - not just push buttons in Lacerte.

This is a true senior role. You will not be micromanaged. You will be trusted.

What You'll Do Every Day

• Prepare and final-sign complex 1040s (multi-state, rentals, Schedule C, S-corp, partnerships)
• Perform final review on returns prepared by others and coach the team
• Spot and execute planning opportunities (bunching, Roth conversions, entity selection, QBI optimization, cost-seg, etc.)
• Represent clients in audits, collections, OIC, installment agreements, penalty abatement
• Work directly with high-net-worth individuals, business owners, trustees, and their attorneys
  
  

What We Need (non-negotiable)

• Active Enrolled Agent (CPA also welcome)
• 2 years of final sign-off authority on 1040s and small-business returns
• 3 years preparing/reviewing 100 returns annually (full-cycle, not seasonal only)
• Proven experience handling IRS notices, audits, or collections cases yourself
• You must be able to explain the "why" behind positions, not just the "how"
• No disciplinary history with IRS Office of Professional Responsibility
  
  

Compensation & Benefits

• $70,000 – $100,000 base (based on proven experience and performance)
• 100% remote (U.S. only, Eastern or Central time preferred)
• Health, dental, vision, retirement plan with match
• Generous PTO paid holidays sanity-preserving tax-season policy
• Immediate start (we need you ramped before January)
  
  

How to Apply (read carefully - we throw out applications that don't follow this)

• Current salary / salary expectation (we pay in the $70k–$100k range - if that's not enough, please don't apply)
  
  

We get hundreds of applications. If you don't include the video, we will assume you can't follow instructions and will pass.

We move fast. Top candidates will have a 15-minute screening call within 48 hours and can be hired within 10 days.
