• Review and finalize summaries prepared by admin staff.
• Contribute to internal systems, planning templates, and workflow improvements.
• Partner with the sales team to identify and close opportunities for expanded tax strategy services.

Qualifications

Ideal candidates will have:

• CPA or EA required (CPA strongly preferred)
• 6–10 years of tax experience with expertise in flow-through entities, nonprofits, corporations, trusts, and high-net-worth individuals.
• Proven ability to lead strategy, implement plans, and review complex returns.
• Experience as a Tax Manager or Senior Associate with review responsibilities.
• Strong research and documentation skills for complex tax issues.
• Excellent communication skills with ability to present and upsell strategies.
• Proficient in CCH Access, QuickBooks Online, Adobe, and tax research tools.
• Skilled at managing multiple projects in a fast-paced, remote environment.

Why Join Us

• Competitive pay + health, dental, vision, 401(k), and life insurance
• Remote-first and flexible work culture
• Clear path for career growth in a fast-growing firm
• Modern tech stack and automation-first mindset
• Supportive, collaborative team with strong systems and documentation
