Job Description

Tax Professional

We are looking for an ambitious, capable, and forward-thinking tax professional to join our west Durham CPA firm, with the opportunity to develop into future leadership.

What We're Looking For

1. Technical Excellence & Attention to Detail

You have demonstrated a high level of accuracy, efficiency, and sound judgment in tax preparation. You take ownership of your work, understand the importance of getting the details right, and consistently strive to deliver quality results.

We are not looking for someone simply because they are proficient in a particular tax preparation software. Software can be learned, and we believe you have the ability to pick it up quickly. What matters more is your comfort with technology, your willingness to explore new tools, and your ability to figure out how to use them effectively in your daily work. Whether it's preparing tax returns, organizing client information, automating repetitive tasks, or improving workflow, we want someone who knows how to make technology work for them rather than being limited by the tools they already know.

2. Technology-Forward Mindset

You see technology as an opportunity, not an obstacle. You are comfortable adopting new tools, exploring automation and AI, and leveraging technology to improve productivity, accuracy, and the overall client experience.

3. Professionalism & Client Relationships

You understand that every client interaction represents not only you but the entire firm. You communicate thoughtfully, respond to inquiries professionally, and build relationships based on trust, responsiveness, and reliability.

4. Continuous Improvement & Business Awareness

You don't simply follow existing processes; you look for ways to make them better. You are motivated to improve workflows, enhance the quality of deliverables, and increase operational efficiency while maintaining a thoughtful balance between service quality, productivity, and operating costs.

5. Leadership Potential & Growth Mindset

You are curious, proactive, accountable, and eager to take on greater responsibilities. You want to understand the business beyond the technical work and are interested in contributing to the firm's long-term success, culture, and strategic direction.

The Opportunity

For the right individual, we envision a career path that can evolve from technical contributor to trusted advisor and team leader.

Please Note: We are not engaging third-party recruiters or headhunters at this time. We prefer to manage our recruiting process directly so we can take the time to personally review applications, get to know candidates, and identify the right fit for our team.
