Senior Tax Accountant

Alpha Hire is partnering with a forward-thinking public accounting firm to hire a Senior Tax Accountant for a hybrid position. This is not a traditional, production-only compliance role. Instead, this opportunity is designed for a tax professional who can think strategically, review with precision, and proactively identify planning opportunities that create measurable value for clients.

The firm operates in a modern, process-driven environment with offshore support staff and streamlined systems. While the role is partially remote, occasional travel to the Orlando, Florida office may be required for team collaboration or strategic planning sessions 1-2 days a week or as needed.

If you are a seasoned tax reviewer who enjoys improving systems, mentoring others, and contributing beyond basic compliance, this role offers the autonomy and influence you re looking for.

• Review individual, partnership, S corporation, and corporate tax returns prepared by offshore staff
• Identify technical inaccuracies, compliance risks, and missed tax planning opportunities
• Provide proactive tax strategy insights to optimize client outcomes
• Improve internal review workflows and increase operational efficiency
• Offer structured feedback and mentorship to remote team members
• Communicate directly with clients on complex tax matters and advisory issues
• Review and adjust Quick Books financial statements to ensure tax readiness
• Collaborate with leadership to refine processes and improve turnaround time

• 5-7+ years of public accounting tax experience
• Strong hands-on experience with Ultra Tax, Drake, and/or Canopy
• Solid working knowledge of Quick Books
• Proven experience reviewing tax returns (not just preparing them)
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• Ability to thrive in a remote, systems-oriented environment
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a continuous improvement approach
• Self-directed professional who performs well without micromanagement

• Naturally proactive and curious
• Thinks beyond compliance and seeks planning opportunities
• Comfortable making independent decisions
• Interested in improving systems, not simply maintaining them
• Motivated to grow with a firm long term

• CPA license or CPA eligibility
• Experience collaborating with distributed or offshore teams
• Background in small to mid-sized public accounting firms

• Competitive base salary
• Health insurance
• PTO
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Remote work flexibility

This opportunity is ideal for a strong Senior Tax Accountant or Tax Supervisor who wants increased autonomy, strategic input, and real influence within a growing firm, without navigating the bureaucracy of a large corporate structure. If you re ready to contribute at a higher level and play a meaningful role in shaping processes and client outcomes, this position offers the platform to do so.
