This role is for a CPA who takes pride in doing tax work well.

Not rushed.

Not transactional.

Not quantity and volume-at-all-costs.

But accurate, thoughtful, and complete. Do what's best for the clients.

This is an in-person position for a CPA who enjoys preparing and reviewing complex entity and individual tax returns, researching issues until the best answer for the client is found, and taking full ownership of the work-from data entry to final signature.

If you believe quality tax work is a craft, not a race-and that helping business owners through their business journey is meaningful work-you'll feel aligned here.

This role also serves as a preparatory pathway into a future Tax Strategist position, building the technical depth, judgment, and real-world experience required for effective tax planning. Alternatively, it has the potential to grow into a supervisory role as we continue to grow and scale this business.

We are, primarily, a proactive tax strategy business. This means we spend the full year working with clients, helping manage their tax bill. We try to avoid being in the last-minute tax prep business as much as possible. That's not completely avoidable, but we think we do it better than most.

Compensation

$64,000 - $101,000 yearly

Responsibilities

  • Prepare and review complex individual and entity tax returns
  • Personally enter data and trace figures to source documents

  • Supervise and mentor Enrolled Agents and Tax Assistants
  • Lead the completion of a current, but growing inventory, of 100 individual returns and 200 entity returns
  • Communicate directly with clients regarding their returns
  • Collaborate closely with internal team members involved in tax planning and strategy

Qualifications

  • Active CPA license in good standing
  • Experience with complex entity taxation (partnerships, S corporations, C Corporations, etc.) and impact on personal returns
  • Strong research skills and persistence in finding the right answer
  • Willingness to be hands-on with preparation, review, and details
  • High standards for accuracy, documentation, and defensible positions
  • Optimistic, solutions-oriented mindset
  • Comfortable taking ownership and standing behind your work
  • Experience with Intuit ProConnect, Intuit QuickBooks, Tax Dome, Xero, and/or willingness to learn
