We are seeking an experienced Senior Tax Accountant to oversee tax review, client accounting support, and staff workflow within a public accounting environment.
This role is ideal for a tax professional who is comfortable reviewing returns, identifying errors, improving accuracy, supporting clients, and helping maintain workflow quality across a distributed team. The ideal candidate has strong public accounting experience, understands tax compliance, and can operate independently in a fast-paced client-service environment.
This is not a data-entry or bookkeeping-only role. We are looking for someone who can review work, catch issues, communicate with clients, and support timely, accurate tax preparation across multiple engagements.
Responsibilities
- Review individual, partnership, S-corporation, and corporate tax returns prepared by internal or offshore staff
- Identify errors, inconsistencies, missing documentation, and compliance risks before final submission
- Communicate directly with clients regarding tax documentation, filing questions, and financial matters
- Support month-end and year-end accounting processes across multiple client accounts
- Review and adjust QuickBooks financials to ensure tax readiness and reporting accuracy
- Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local tax requirements across client engagements
- Provide oversight and guidance to junior accounting or offshore support staff
- Assist with workflow improvements, internal process standardization, and quality control
- Support tax planning initiatives and identify opportunities for improved client service
- Help ensure timely completion of tax preparation and review workflows during busy seasons
Requirements
- 5+ years of public accounting or tax accounting experience required
- Experience reviewing tax returns is required, not just preparing them
- Strong experience with UltraTax, Drake, Canopy, or similar tax software preferred
- Proficiency with QuickBooks and general ledger accounting required
- Experience working in a public accounting or client-service environment required
- Ability to operate independently in a hybrid or partially remote work environment
- CPA license or CPA eligibility preferred but not required
- Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
- Candidates with only AP/AR or internal corporate accounting experience will not be sufficient
Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Health insurance and benefits package
- Retirement plan options
- Paid time off
- Additional company-sponsored benefit programs
- Opportunity to support client relationships and help improve firm-wide accounting workflows
If you’re an experienced tax accountant who enjoys reviewing returns, supporting clients, and helping improve accuracy across a growing public accounting practice, we’d love to hear from you.
