  • Communicate directly with clients and respond to tax-related questions or issues

  • Work closely with managers and partners on special projects and technical issues

  • Maintain accurate records and help support smooth engagement workflows

What We’re Looking For:

  • 2–6 years of relevant tax experience in public accounting

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (CPA license or progress toward CPA preferred)

  • Familiarity with tax prep software (e.g., CCH Axcess, UltraTax, ProSystems, etc.)

  • Detail-oriented with strong organizational and time management skills

  • Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively

  • Excellent communication and client-service skills

What We Offer:

  • Flexible work environment

  • Competitive compensation and annual bonus potential

  • Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k) match, and more

  • Paid continuing education and CPA exam support

  • Direct access to firm leadership and a clear path for advancement

  • A friendly, inclusive team that values your contributions and well-being
