Tax Associate

Senior Tax Associate

Public Accounting | Tax & Advisory | Career Growth Opportunity

Magnify is looking for a Senior Tax Associate who's ready for more than another tax season of preparing returns and chasing deadlines. We're looking for someone who wants to sharpen their expertise, build meaningful client relationships, and take the next step toward becoming a trusted advisor and future leader in public accounting.

This opportunity offers the chance to take greater ownership of tax engagements, tackle more complex client challenges, and help develop the next generation of accounting professionals. You'll join an established accounting and advisory environment where your technical knowledge, professional judgment, and ability to deliver results can make a real impact.

If you're ready to move beyond simply completing the work and start influencing how the work gets done, we'd like to talk!

You might be a great fit if you have:

• 2+ years of public accounting experience, ideally with exposure to multiple tax engagements and client relationships.
• A Bachelor's degree in Accounting and a solid foundation in tax preparation, compliance, and financial reporting.
• Experience preparing and reviewing tax returns, supporting workpapers, and related documentation with a strong focus on accuracy.
• The ability to research complex tax questions, identify potential issues, and communicate practical recommendations.
• Experience managing competing client deadlines, coordinating deliverables, and maintaining quality across multiple engagements.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with an interest in mentoring junior associates and expanding client responsibilities.

Additional experience that will help you stand out: CPA designation or active progress toward licensure, proficiency with professional tax preparation software, and experience supporting client development or advisory initiatives.

What you’ll actually DO:

1. Take ownership of assigned tax engagements, coordinating client needs, deliverables, timelines, and day-to-day execution.
2. Prepare and review tax returns and workpapers while identifying opportunities to improve accuracy, efficiency, and quality.
3. Research technical tax matters, evaluate potential implications, and help develop recommendations that bring value to clients.
4. Build trusted client relationships through proactive communication, responsiveness, and practical problem-solving.
5. Help develop junior associates through coaching, workpaper reviews, technical guidance, and constructive feedback.
6. Work across multiple engagements, balancing deadlines and priorities without compromising the quality of your work.
7. Collaborate with experienced accounting professionals on proposals, client development, and opportunities to expand existing relationships.
8. Continue building the technical expertise, client-facing confidence, and leadership capabilities needed for long-term advancement.

Compensation & Benefits:

• Competitive compensation aligned with experience and qualifications.
• Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; HSA/FSA options; life and disability insurance; supplemental coverage; a 401(k) profit-sharing plan with employer match; and paid time off.
• Access to CPA preparation support, continuing professional education, and ongoing development opportunities to help you keep building your career.
