• Research tax matters, identify potential issues, and recommend practical resolutions or planning strategies.

• Monitor adherence to federal, state, and local tax requirements throughout the return process.

• Organize and maintain detailed client files, supporting records, and tax documentation for efficient reference and audit readiness.

• Respond to tax notices and related correspondence by gathering information, preparing responses, and tracking follow-up actions.

• Stay current with changes in tax law and share relevant updates with clients and team members as needed.

• Demonstrated knowledge of federal and state tax rules, with the ability to apply them accurately in client engagements.

• Strong client-facing communication skills with a detail-focused, service-oriented approach.

• Ability to lead in-person or virtual discussions with clients to review documents and explain tax matters clearly.
