Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

- Join a fast-growing, nationally recognized firm with strong stability
- Nearly 100% employer-paid medical coverage plus strong overall benefits package
- Hands-on involvement in process improvements and operational efficiencies
- Consistent client interaction—build relationships, not just prepare returns
- Supportive environment that encourages learning and technical skill development
Key Responsibilities:
- Prepare corporate, partnership, and individual tax returns accurately and on time
- Conduct tax research and assist with planning strategies to minimize client liabilities
- Collaborate with clients to gather necessary tax documentation and respond to inquiries
- Assist with resolving tax notices and matters with tax authorities
- Contribute to improving tax processes and workflows
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
- 2+ years of tax experience (public accounting preferred)
- Knowledge of federal and state tax regulations
- Experience with tax software and accounting systems
- CPA or progress toward certification is a plus
