Tax Preparer

My Tax Man, a Northeast Portland (Laurelhurst/Hollywood neighborhood) small business and individual tax preparation firm, is seeking to hire a CPA with a desire to own their own business. The current owner is looking to transition to retirement in a way that most guarantees the continued success under a new owner. Our goal is to hire a CPA to begin working full-time, and to work together to determine the best transition to new ownership, including seller financing. The current owner is open to continuing to help out, as needed, for several years after the transition, and to step away when the new owner determines it is time to do so. We are seeking a CPA that has solid experience in income tax preparation. Our office is well-established, and has been part of the local community for more than seventy years. The ideal fit for our office is someone that takes pride in helping people, and enjoys working with a wide variety of clients. Our office is very busy for its size with around 1,000 returns prepared by two CPAs annually. The work is fast-paced, and enjoyable for someone that appreciates shorter projects and problem solving. We truly care about our clients, and it is crucial that we find someone capable and caring. Salary would begin at a minimum of $110,000 annually, with additional pay possible based on billings. A retirement plan with 3% match is available. This is a truly salaried position, so hours are flexible and there is no cap to time off, but working more than 60 hours per week would be required during tax season. Our firm is on very solid footing, with a strong billing structure, and this would be a good opportunity for someone looking for a long, profitable career in income tax preparation. Licensed as a CPA, or licensed to practice in Oregon (EA or LTC) and working toward a CPA license. Extensive experience with individual income tax return preparation (Form 1040). Experience with entity (Forms 1065, 1120, 1120‑S) and fiduciary (Form 1041) return preparation. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Detail-oriented, and able to work with deadlines. Ability to build strong interpersonal relationships with regular clients. Ability to work independently. Experience with Lacerte and QuickBooks is preferred, but not required. #J-18808-Ljbffr
