Important Client Hiring Requirements

We are looking for someone with 5+ years of experience specifically in a Senior or Manager-level position within public accounting. Candidates may have 5+ years of overall tax experience, but the client requires demonstrated experience at the appropriate senior level.

The selected candidate will be replacing a long-term employee with approximately 30 years of experience who was responsible for some of the firm's larger and more complex clients.
