If you thrive on variety, complexity, and meaningful client impact, this role is a strong fit.

• Manage the full compliance lifecycle, including document gathering, deadline tracking, and issue resolution
• Complete approximately 20% tax administrative work to fully support engagements
• Communicate directly with clients to provide updates and respond to inquiries
• Collaborate with a supportive team during busy periods
What You Bring
• 5+ years of tax experience
• Strong background in individual tax preparation
• Exposure to partnership taxation and K-1 reporting (depth is a plus, not required)
• Experience in public accounting or a blend of public/private environments
• Highly organized, self-directed, and able to manage deadlines effectively
• CPA or MST preferred, but not required
Why You’ll Love This Role
• Work on complex, high-impact tax engagements
• Autonomy to manage your workload and client relationships
• Stable environment with long-standing clients
• Low bureaucracy and quick decision-making
• Collaborative, team-oriented culture
• Opportunity for deep technical growth without pressure for traditional advancement paths
Benefits
