Position Description:
We are looking for a confident, experienced, and licensed Tax Strategist who thrives on strategy, not just compliance. This isn't a role for someone who wants to stay buried in tax prep-it's for someone who wants to look ahead, anticipate issues before they happen, and help clients grow through smart, forward-thinking tax planning.
If you love advising clients year-round, uncovering tax savings, and being the person they trust to guide their financial decisions-not just react to them-you're exactly who I want on my team.
Who We Are Looking For
- Someone who is strategic by nature-you see the bigger picture and know how to plan for it.
- Someone who thrives under pressure, can pivot quickly, and still gets the job done.
- Someone who doesn't say "that's not my job"-you roll up your sleeves, dive in, and figure it out.
- Someone who can switch between high-level analysis and detailed review without missing a beat.
- Someone who loves helping people, goes the extra mile, and gets excited about finding creative tax solutions.
What You'll Do
- Lead client relationships built on proactive guidance and year-round tax-saving strategies.
- Analyze tax returns and financial data to spot opportunities before anyone else does.
- Implement tax strategies on entity structure, compensation, retirement planning, and deductions.
- Stay ahead of tax law changes and explain their impact to clients in plain language.
- Partner with our accounting team to make sure clients have seamless, full-service support.
- Help onboard new clients and make their first experience with us exceptional.
What You Bring
- EA or CPA REQUIRED - you must be licensed to represent clients.
- At least 3 years in tax strategy or advisory (more than just prep).
- Excellent communication-you're comfortable on Zoom, in writing, and face-to-face.
- Confidence delivering complex advice clearly and decisively.
- Strong organizational skills-you can juggle multiple clients and timelines with ease.
- Familiarity with tax planning software (like Corvee, Tax Planner Pro) or strong Excel skills.
Who You Are
You're not looking for a routine job-you want a role where you can think critically, advise boldly, and make a measurable impact. You see potential problems before they appear and already have solutions in mind. You take feedback well, communicate openly, and thrive in a team that values honesty and initiative.
Confidence can sometimes hold us back from applying for a job. But we'll let you in on a secret: there's no such thing as a 'perfect' candidate. Washington Accounting Services Inc.is a place where everyone can grow. So however you identify and whatever background you bring with you, please apply if this is a role that would make you excited to come into work every day.
