    Job Description

    Job Description

    If you’re a tax pro who’s tired of being stuck in “just prep,” living in one narrow niche, or cranking out returns with zero context—this is your spot.

    We’re not a traditional tax preparation firm. We’re a Tax Advisory firm first. That means our clients don’t just want a filed return—they want a trusted professional who helps them make smarter decisions all year long. And yes, you’ll still prepare returns... but you’ll also advise, problem-solve, and help clients build better outcomes. We serve individuals and businesses with complex tax situations , and our team works across many return types—so you’ll keep learning, keep growing, and keep your work interesting.

    What you’ll do

    Tax Preparation (done right)

    • Prepare and review a variety of federal, state, and local tax returns for individuals and businesses.
    • Work with complex scenarios such as multi-state filings, pass-through entities, K-1s, rental/real estate activity, basis issues, and more.
    • Ensure accurate, complete workpapers and clean documentation for every return.
    • Identify missing data, inconsistencies, and red flags—then communicate clearly to resolve them.

    Tax Advisory (where the fun starts)

    • Hold advisory-style conversations with clients to uncover planning opportunities (not just “what happened last year”).
    • Translate tax law into practical strategy: “Here’s what this means, and here’s what we should do.”
    • Develop proactive planning ideas such as:
    • * Entity optimization and compensation strategy
      
      • Estimated tax planning and cash flow forecasting
      • Year-end planning (timing, deductions, credits, elections)
      • Real estate and investment tax considerations
      • Retirement and long-term planning coordination (in partnership with outside advisors)

    Client Experience & Relationship Management

    • Build trust fast—clients should feel calmer after meeting with you.
    • Communicate professionally and efficiently through meetings, email, and our client portal.
    • Help clients stay organized with clear requests, deadlines, and next steps.

    Team & Process Improvements

    • Contribute to better workflows, templates, checklists, and systems.
    • Keep learning—tax changes, best practices, software improvements, and smarter planning approaches.

    What we’re looking for

    • Solid tax prep experience (individual + business preferred).
    • Comfortable working with complex returns and digging into details.
    • Strong communication skills—able to explain complicated topics in plain English.
    • A proactive mindset: you naturally look for “what’s the opportunity here?”
    • Organized, reliable, and client-service oriented.
    • Interest in learning advisory work (or already doing it and want to do more).

    ** Preferred (not required):**

    • EA, CPA, or actively pursuing credentials.
    • Experience with S-corps, partnerships, and multi-state filings.
    • Prior advisory/planning experience.
    • Strong tech comfort (tax software, portals, workflows, spreadsheets).

    Why this role is different (and better)

    • You won’t be boxed into one tax niche.
    • You’ll work on a wide variety of returns and scenarios.
    • You’ll be part of an advisory-first firm where your thinking matters.
    • You’ll have real client relationships—not transactional prep-only interactions.
    • You’ll grow into a higher-value tax professional (and get compensated like one).

    Perks & benefits (we actually mean it)

    We take care of our people—because tax season is intense and talent matters.

    • Competitive pay (based on experience + value you bring)
    • Performance incentives - bonuses
    • Flexible scheduling options (especially outside peak season)
    • Paid training and professional development support if needed
    • Supportive team culture and modern systems (portal-based, organized, efficient)
    • Opportunity to grow into leadership and high-level advisory work
    • Health insurance, retirement match, PTO, remote days, summer Fridays etc.]

    The kind of person who thrives here

    You love tax—but you love solving puzzles more than mindless production. You want to be respected as a professional, not treated like a form-filler. You enjoy people, you enjoy strategy, and you want a career path that goes beyond “next return.”
