Marquard@Roberthalf

Robert Half is partnering with a highly respected, privately held family office in the Greater Hartford area to identify a Senior Tax Associate to join their in-house tax team. This is a standout opportunity for an experienced tax professional-especially someone coming from public accounting-who wants better work-life balance without giving up compensation, complexity, or long-term growth. This organization manages a diversified investment portfolio with a strong presence in real estate and related operating entities.

The culture is collaborative, stable, and relationship-driven, with low turnover and long-tenured employees.

Why This Role Stands Out

+ Transition out of public accounting while continuing to work on complex, interesting tax matters

+ Predictable schedule outside of a defined busy season

+ Competitive base salary ($120K-$130K) plus performance bonus

+ Strong benefits, including immediate 401(k) match

+ Visible role with direct exposure to senior tax leadership

+ Supportive, flexible environment with clear career runway

What You'll Be Doing

+ Prepare and review federal, state, and local tax returns for partnerships, corporations, individuals, and trusts

+ Handle tax projections, estimates, and extensions

+ Support tax planning initiatives and special projects

+ Assist with tax notices, audits, and correspondence with taxing authorities

+ Conduct tax research and stay current on evolving tax regulations

+ Collaborate closely with senior tax leadership and internal stakeholders

If you're a tax professional who enjoys technical work but wants more balance, stability, and a long-term home, this role is well worth a confidential conversation. If you meet these requirements and are interested in this great opportunity, please email your resume in confidence to Kelleigh Marquard quard@roberthalf com. All inquiries are confidential. At Robert Half we never distribute your resume without your permission.

Requirements

+ 5+ years of tax experience, ideally with exposure to high-net-worth individuals and trusts

+ CPA or actively pursuing CPA strongly preferred

+ Background in public accounting, family office, or private investment environments

+

Experience with real estate-related entities is a plus

+ Strong attention to detail, organizational skills, and ability to manage deadlines

+ Comfortable working in a small, team-oriented tax department

+

Experience with tax and accounting platforms (CCH, Engagement tools, Excel/Microsoft 365, and similar systems) is helpful
