Senior Tax Associate

Strategic Wealth Advisors Group (SWAG) is a premier financial planning and insurance organization dedicated to empowering families and businesses through comprehensive wealth strategies. We're a professional yet deeply welcoming team that prioritizes integrity, excellence, and long-term mentorship, and we're looking for an experienced CPA to join us as a Senior Tax Associate, helping build and lead our in-house tax and accounting department from the ground up.

As a Senior Tax Associate, you'll oversee tax preparation and proactive planning while partnering directly with our financial advisors to deliver comprehensive strategies that help clients retire with confidence. This is a rare opportunity for a CPA who enjoys advising clients, building systems, and shaping a tax practice rather than stepping into one that's already set in stone. You'll have direct access to expert-led training and industry resources, and the chance to build lasting relationships with a diverse client base within a firm that genuinely invests in your growth.
