Senior Tax Accountant - R&D Incentives

Senior Tax Accountant - R&D Incentives

This is a role for a tax professional who wants their work to directly influence how innovative companies grow. Our client, a specialized tax consulting firm, helps businesses unlock significant value through R&D tax credits and incentive strategies—and this position sits at the center of that impact.

You’ll lead engagements, guide clients through complex tax credit opportunities, and play a visible role in shaping both client outcomes and internal team performance. If you’ve built a strong foundation in tax and are ready to step into ownership, mentorship, and advisory influence, this is a meaningful next move.

This organization is a growing tax consulting firm focused on helping innovation-driven businesses access tax incentives and fuel expansion. With a track record of delivering measurable financial impact to clients, the firm combines technical expertise with a people-first mindset. The environment rewards autonomy, problem-solving, and professionals who want to grow alongside the business.

In this role, you will…

• Lead end-to-end client engagements involving R&D tax credits and incentive programs
• Own the preparation and review of workpapers, technical memos, and credit calculations
• Guide clients through IRS and state audit processes with confidence and accuracy
  
• Mentor junior staff and elevate team performance through structured feedback and review
• Identify additional tax credit opportunities within existing client relationships
• Improve internal processes to increase efficiency, turnaround time, and delivery quality

What we’re looking for

• 4–6+ years of U.S. tax experience, with exposure to R&D tax credits or similar incentives
• Knowledge of U.S. tax laws and GAAP
• Knowledge of State and Local Tax (SALT)
• Successful experience handling IRS and/or state tax audits
  
• Experience reviewing technical deliverables and ensuring accuracy
• JD, CPA, or EA (preferred but optional)

If you’re a professional who wants to move beyond routine work and step into a role where your analysis drives real financial outcomes, this is worth exploring.
