Why join us?

• Leadership opportunity to build a tax practice from the ground up.
• Stable 40-hour work week and strong work/life balance — no public accounting burnout.
• Hybrid schedule in 92618 (3-4 days in office per week)
• Competitive pay structure with fully paid employee healthcare and bonus potential.
• Collaborative, client-focused culture with direct access to firm leadership.
