Full-time Senior Tax Preparer

Senior Tax Accountant Sprowls & Company, P.Chandler, AZ (Phoenix Metro) | Hybrid | Full-Time
$85,000-$120,000 | 40-Hour Standard Work Week with 50 Hours During Tax Season.

**Sprowls & Company is a growing CPA firm specializing in construction and construction-related businesses, real estate, and closely held companies. We are a local specialized accounting firm with an excellent 25-year reputation. We currently have a staff of 30 accounting professionals who enjoy working together.

Most of our tax work is business-focused. You will spend your time working with corporations, partnerships, multi-entity structures, and closely held businesses - not buried in individual 1040 preparation. That provides exposure to more complex tax issues, planning opportunities, and advisory work while building a valuable industry specialization.
We also believe a successful public accounting career should be sustainable. Our standard work week is 40 hours, and our tax-season schedule is 50 hours per week Feb 15 – April 15. We invest in technology, streamlined workflows, and strong administrative support so our accountants can focus on accounting, tax, and client service rather than chasing paperwork.

Our office is located at I-10 / 101 / 202 in Chandler, Arizona, in the Phoenix metro area, a short drive from Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, and Mesa. We support a hybrid work environment, including the ability to work from home on designated days.
