Tax Preparer

Overview

If you are a few years into public accounting and starting to feel like each year looks a lot like the last, this is worth a read.

At some firms, early progression sounds good on paper. In reality, the work narrows, the context stays thin, and development slows once you know the routines. You get quicker, but not necessarily better.

This firm has built things differently.

This is a well established independent CPA firm between Dallas and Fort Worth that puts real thought into how early career tax professionals develop. The focus is not just getting returns out the door, but helping people understand the work, build confidence, and move forward properly.

You will work closely with experienced CPAs who take time to explain the why behind the numbers, bring you into planning conversations, and gradually increase responsibility as your skills grow. CPA exams are actively supported, not just tolerated.

The outcome is simple. Stronger technical ability. Better exam readiness. And progression based on what you can actually do, not how long you have been there.

• Genuine CPA exam support alongside meaningful, exam relevant work
• Exposure to individuals, partnerships, corporations, trusts, and multi entity clients
• Broader and more interesting work than typical junior tax roles
• Regular access to senior CPAs who invest time in mentoring
• A stable, well run firm with realistic workloads and clear expectations

• Preparing individual, partnership, corporate, and trust tax returns
• Supporting tax planning, research, and year round advisory work
• Assisting with client communication and review preparation
• Taking on broader responsibility as your confidence and technical ability grow

• Has around two to four years of tax experience in public accounting
• Is working toward the CPA or planning to start exams soon
• Wants to learn properly, not just push volume during busy season
• Cares about understanding the technical reasoning behind the work
• Values structure, feedback, and long term development

This is a strong move for a Tax Preparer who wants to sharpen their technical skills, feel properly supported through CPA exams, and build a career in public accounting that actually goes somewhere.

If you are looking for a tax role with a firm in DFW that takes development seriously, this is well worth a conversation.
