Tax Associate | Mid-market independent CPA firm

Early in your career, the environment you choose matters. Some roles limit you to repetition. Others stretch you, teach you and accelerate your development.

This mid-market independent CPA firm in Dallas offers the second option. As a Tax Associate, you will gain exposure to a wider range of work and complexity than is typical at this level, working closely with experienced CPAs who actively invest time in developing junior talent.

The outcome is faster learning, stronger technical confidence and responsibility that grows with your ability rather than your tenure.

• Exposure across individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts and multi entity clients
• Higher complexity work than most Associate roles, supporting accelerated development
• Direct access to senior CPAs who enjoy mentoring and teaching
• A culture built around quality, stability and long term client relationships
• Steady year round work, not just busy season intensity followed by downtime

• Preparing individual, partnership, corporate and trust tax returns
• Supporting tax planning, research and advisory projects throughout the year
• Assisting with workflow coordination, client communication and review preparation
• Working alongside senior staff to build technical capability and professional confidence

• One to three years of experience within public accounting
• An Associate motivated by learning, responsibility and faster progression
• Someone who enjoys problem solving and understanding the “why,” not just the process
• A professional who values high standards and a collaborative team environment

This role is ideal for someone who wants broad exposure, meaningful mentorship and a development path based on ability rather than time served.

If you are looking for a Tax Associate position in Dallas that will challenge you, support you and set you up for long term success, this is a strong opportunity to explore.
