Staff Tax Accountant

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Real advancement potential: With limited layers between staff and senior leadership, strong performers can take on increasingly significant responsibilities.
• Path toward ownership: Employees can earn annual phantom equity designed to reward those who stay and help grow the firm.
• Exceptional stability: Several employees have built careers of 10–20+ years with the organization.
• New office environment: Work from a new corporate-style Reading location where employees have their own offices rather than cubicles.
• Modern CPA firm: The organization is investing in AI-enabled technology and more integrated accounting tools to reduce repetitive data-entry work.
• Different approach to public accounting: No chargeable-hour or realization goals. You are expected to own your work, meet deadlines, and operate like a professional.
Target Compensation: Approximately $70,000–$80,000 depending on experience, including overtime where applicable.

Key Responsibilities for the Staff Tax Accountant:

• Prepare individual, partnership, and corporate returns, including 1040, 1065, 1120, and 1120-S filings.
• Support preparation through workpapers, trial balances, and general accounting activities.
• Work closely with experienced tax leadership while developing toward review-level responsibilities.
• Manage assignments around key tax deadlines.
• Utilize UltraTax, QuickBooks, and evolving AI-enabled tax technology.

Qualifications for the Staff Tax Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or a related discipline.
• 0–3 years of accounting or tax experience.
• Open to new graduates, particularly candidates with accounting internships or relevant experience.
• Strong technology skills and interest in pursuing a long-term career in tax/public accounting.
