Senior Tax Accountant (Finance)

If you're hoping for a staunch, stuffy, big city CPA experience, we'd be all wrong for you. Unify doesn't look like the conventional CPA firm. Stands to reason that our Sr Tax Accountant wouldn't look, sound, or even be named like the conventional accountant at a CPA firm. And if you just survived tax season running on caffeine and 70-hour weeks and you're already dreading next year, keep reading. At Unify, our Sr Tax Associates are called Accounting Managers.

That is what happens when a firm built around strategic advice replaces the seasonal compliance grind with a subscription model that works year-round. Our Accounting Managers averaged under 46 hours a week through April 15. The Accounting manager runs a section of 40 to 50 clients like they own it. Weekly massages help too.

If you are selected as one of our Accounting managers, you will

Hire, train, supervise and monitor the production of the Staff Accountants in their section
Answer all technical processing / accounting questions of Staff Accountants
Review monthly financial statements produced by Staff Accountants
Attend and administer Initial Strategy Sessions on new clients, and then set up and process new clients until passing accounts to Staff Accountants
Conduct annual tax planning, prepare tax returns, review final returns, answer tax-related questions and respond to taxing authorities.

We are looking for an Accounting Aficionado who

Has at least a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting and at least five years experience in Public Accounting (excluding experience in audit, government or the private sector)
Is either a CPA or EA, or willing and eligible to become one
Loves building relationships and communicating with clients, treating them as the most important thing in our business
Lack at least five years experience in a CPA firm focused on tax (as opposed to audit, private accounting, or government)
Lack the competence and confidence needed to walk in humility and therefore feel the need to trumpet their success or seek excessive validation
