Senior Tax Associate

Job Description

Senior Tax Associate

San Diego

Hybrid

Eleven years in and still called a senior. It happens all the time in tax, and the reason is almost never the work. It's that the firm above you has no room, so the title stays where it is and so does the money.

A small San Diego firm is paying $112k to $118k for a senior, which is above what the market round here puts on the job. Hybrid. They care what you can do rather than what your last firm called you.

Why this firm:

\n
• $112k to $118k, which is ahead of the local going rate for the level
\n
• Small firm, so there's no queue of people between you and the decision
\n
• Hybrid, with time in the San Diego office
\n
• They'll take experience over a title, and they have paid for it before
\n
• Small firm again, which means no big brand on your resume and no graduate scheme behind you
\n
• Nobody's given me a number on hours, so ask
\n

What you'll be doing:

\n
• Preparing and reviewing individual and business returns
\n
• Running your own client work rather than feeding it upwards
\n
• Being in front of clients instead of hearing about them
\n

What you'll have:

\n
• CPA or EA
\n
• Several years in public accounting tax
\n
• Somewhere in reach of San Diego, because the office is part of it
\n

Next Steps: If ringing a recruiter is the last thing you fancy doing this week, I understand. It's a confidential chat and it costs you nothing, and a fair few people come off the call and stay put. View phone number on ziprecruiter.com.
