• Manage roughly 25 to 30 advisory engagements and 25 to 50 tax-only engagements in your first year, with scope growing over time

• Prepare tax plans and projections, moving toward a roughly 50/50 preparation and review split

• Discuss tax strategies with clients, including capitalization, participation and risk

• Calculate salary and tax projections, enter shareholder payroll and review the numbers with clients

• Resolve federal and state tax notices and other client issues

• Research complex tax questions, stress-test conclusions with AI tools and draft memos

• Lead tax onboarding for new clients and join prospect Discovery Meetings

Key requirements

• Active CPA, EA or CA license

• Bachelor’s degree at minimum, accounting preferred

• 3 to 5 years or more of complex tax return preparation in public accounting

• Comfort across 1040, 1120S, 1065 and 1120 returns

• Clear, confident client communication

• Strong business and rental property acumen, with tax strategy that goes well beyond basic recommendations

• Willingness to use AI for research, preparation, review and automation

• Commitment to staying current on federal and state developments unprompted

• Willingness to grow into review over time

Nice to have

• Tax return signature authority, at least constructively

• Business consulting or advisory experience

• Hands-on experience with Thomson Reuters UltraTax and SurePrep

• Multi-state experience, including nexus and apportionment

Salary Range: $110,000 to $130,000, dependent of experience and qualifications.
