Senior Accountant

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.
