Full 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

Requirements
  • 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

Benefits
  • 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.
