• Collaborating with managers and partners on planning and workflow

Why this role stands out:

• Salary range: $140K–$170K depending on experience
• A firm culture that values professionalism, trust, and respect for your expertise
• Exposure to sophisticated, interesting clients without unnecessary stress
• Leadership that listens and empowers rather than dictates

What they’re looking for:

• CPA license is required
• Several years of public accounting tax experience
• Strong review experience and comfort supervising others
• Experience with individual and entity returns, including trusts and partnerships
• Someone who takes pride in doing things properly and helping others do the same

This isn’t a role for someone chasing a flashy title. It’s for someone who wants to be trusted, empowered, and given room to do their best work.
