Quick Overview
Job Description
We are hiring an experienced Senior Tax Accountant to review tax returns, support client accounting engagements, and help maintain quality and workflow standards across a growing public accounting practice.
We are specifically looking for someone with public accounting experience who has reviewed individual and business tax returns—not only prepared them. The right candidate can identify errors, resolve missing information, communicate directly with clients, and ensure work is accurate and ready for filing.
This is not a bookkeeping, data-entry, or AP/AR position. You will take ownership of return review, client communication, tax-ready financials, and workflow quality while providing guidance to junior or offshore accounting staff.
Responsibilities
- Review individual, partnership, S-corporation, and corporate tax returns for accuracy and compliance
- Identify errors, missing documents, inconsistent information, and potential tax risks before filing
- Communicate with clients regarding tax documents, filing questions, deadlines, and financial information
- Review and adjust QuickBooks records to ensure accurate tax reporting
- Support month-end, year-end, and tax-season workflows across multiple client accounts
- Provide guidance and quality control for junior accountants and offshore support staff
- Assist with tax planning, workflow improvements, and internal process standardization
- Manage multiple client engagements while meeting filing deadlines and service expectations
- 5+ years of public accounting or tax accounting experience
- Direct experience reviewing tax returns required
- Experience with individual and business returns, including partnerships, S corporations, and corporations
- Strong QuickBooks and general ledger accounting experience
- Experience working directly with clients in a public accounting environment
- Ability to work independently in a hybrid setting and manage multiple deadlines
- Strong attention to detail, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Health insurance and benefits package
- Retirement plan options
- Paid time off
- Additional company-sponsored benefits
- Opportunity to help strengthen client service and firm-wide tax workflows
This opportunity is ideal for an experienced tax accountant who enjoys reviewing complex work, supporting clients, and improving accuracy across a public accounting practice.
