We are looking for a Senior Tax Accountant to oversee tax review, client accounting support, and remote staff oversight within a public accounting environment.
This role operates in a hybrid public accounting firm environment and carries ownership of reviewing tax returns, improving accuracy, supporting clients, and helping maintain workflow quality across a distributed team. The position is critical to ensuring timely and accurate tax preparation while supporting long-term client relationships and operational efficiency. This is not a pure data-entry or bookkeeping role; the ideal candidate must be comfortable reviewing work, identifying issues, and operating independently in a fast-paced accounting environment.
Responsibilities
Review individual, partnership, S-corporation, and corporate tax returns prepared by internal or offshore staff
Identify errors, inconsistencies, and compliance risks before final submission
Communicate directly with clients regarding tax documentation, filing questions, and financial matters
Support month-end and year-end accounting processes for multiple client accounts
Review and adjust QuickBooks financials to ensure tax readiness and reporting accuracy
Assist with workflow improvements and internal process standardization
Provide oversight and guidance to junior accounting or offshore support staff
Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local tax requirements across multiple client engagements
Support tax planning initiatives and identify opportunities for operational improvement
Requirements
5+ years of public accounting or tax accounting experience required
Experience reviewing tax returns is required, not just preparing them
Strong experience with UltraTax, Drake, Canopy, or similar tax software preferred
Proficiency with QuickBooks and general ledger accounting required
Experience working in a public accounting or client-services environment required
Ability to operate independently in a hybrid or partially remote environment
CPA license or CPA eligibility preferred but not required
Candidates with only AP/AR or internal corporate accounting experience will not be sufficient
Benefits
Compensation: Competitive salary based on experience. Benefits may include health insurance, retirement plan options, paid time off, and other company-sponsored programs.
