About the Role
You’re not just a tax professional; you’re a Tax All-Star. The kind of person who knows how to deliver high-level service to clients, perform engagements with confidence, and thrive in a collaborative team environment. You’ve got some great well-rounded experience, a client-first mindset, and a track record of growing within a mid-sized Firm.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
We’re looking for a Tax All-Star, at the Tax Senior II level, with the following experience and strengths:
- 3-5 years of tax experience in public accounting
- Experience at a mid-size firm (40+ FTE)
- Strong background serving privately held businesses and their owners
- Comfortable working on multiple engagements at a time, preparing complex returns, and reviewing smaller returns
- EA credential or CPA preferred
- Gift tax and non-profit experience is a plus but not required.
- Someone that loves interacting with clients - someone who communicates clearly, builds relationships easily. Our team has hands-on experience and relationships with clients at all levels. We love people that enjoy building relationships with their clients
- Our team has lots of flexibility, and we love someone that likes to manage their own schedule and not be micromanaged. All of our team is given a client book of business to work with, so they have consistent client relationships and projects year to year that help them learn and grow.
This is a great fit for someone who’s gotten some great experience at a larger firm and is now ready to step into a more visible, client-centered role. You’ll be joining a supportive and forward-thinking team that values initiative, integrity, and growth, both for our clients and our people.
Remote / hybrid options are available. You do not need to be based in the Houston, TX area to apply, but local candidates are encouraged.
