Tax Accountant at Distinct | North America in Livingston, New Jersey

Job Opportunity

Here's a slightly unusual job advert. It's for people who like public accounting but aren't particularly interested in making it their whole personality. This is a 5 person CPA firm where work life balance isn't a slogan on the website. It's how they've operated for years. Outside of tax season it's a 4 day work week. During busy season, hours are generally capped at around 50 and people are usually heading home by 5pm. Once you're settled in, there's flexibility to work hybrid too. The work is a mix of preparing and reviewing 1040s, 1120S and 1065s, along with year end accounting and working closely with clients on QuickBooks Online. You'll be joining a family owned firm run by two CPAs who have built long standing client relationships over more than 30 years. No audits. No endless meetings. Just good quality tax work and clients who value what you do. There's also a longer term opportunity here. The owners are in their 60s and would love to find someone who could grow into something bigger over time. Here's the part most people get wrong: you don't need to tick every box to introduce yourself. The apply button is not legally binding. Worst case? We chat, decide the timing isn't right, and you carry on. Best case? You bag yourself a fantastic new position.
