Senior Tax Associate

Senior is the awkward grade. You've outgrown prep, nobody's handed you an engagement yet, and at a bigger firm you can sit there for 3 years waiting for a manager to leave. A small East Bay tax practice has built the grade differently. $112,000 to $138,000, and the job is written as the step between preparing returns and running the engagement. Small means what it says. People work across engagements, and if you've got capacity and the skill, you'll be asked to step in on someone else's. Why this firm $112,000 to $138,000, set on experience and where you are with the CPA A 401(k) with profit sharing, a choice of health plans and tuition reimbursement A CPE plan you build each year with your own advisor, around what you want to get good at CPA, EA or the bar all count as the credential, and a J.D. background is welcome The honest bit: it's in the office, and at a firm this size you get pulled onto whatever needs doing What you'll be doing Preparing the more complex federal, state and local returns on your own First review of work from the associates, with feedback that helps them Researching tax issues and spotting the planning points worth raising Talking to clients directly and owning your part of the engagement What you'll have 2 years or more preparing returns in public accounting At least a year on partnership and S corp returns A CPA, EA or bar admission, or a plan to finish one while you're a senior #J-18808-Ljbffr Distinct | North America
