Schedule: Full-time | Local / in-office preferred

A well-established local CPA firm in the Inland Empire is seeking a Senior Accountant / Senior Tax & Accounting Associate to join its growing team. This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys a true generalist public accounting role with exposure to both tax preparation and accounting / assurance work .

• Prepare individual and business tax returns, including 1040s, partnerships, S-Corps, and other entity returns
• Prepare reviewed financial statements and related workpapers
• Assist with review and compilation engagements

• Experience using CCH ProSystem Engagement strongly preferred
• Proficiency with individual and partnership tax returns required
• S-Corp and business entity tax experience preferred
• Lacerte experience preferred
• CPA license or progress toward CPA is a plus
• Agriculture, dairy, farming, or closely held business client experience is a plus
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through
• Ability to work directly with clients in a small-firm environment

Why This Opportunity

This is a great fit for someone who wants more variety than a strictly tax-only or audit-only role.
