Tax Specialist
Love tax workโbut not necessarily the corporate ladder?
A growing Fresno CPA firm is looking for an experienced Tax Specialist who enjoys the actual work of preparing returns, solving tax issues, and helping clients.
This is a great opportunity for someone who has solid tax preparation experience and wants a stable, hands-on role with a supportive team and a variety of clients. You don't need to be a CPA, and you don't need to be pursuing a partner track. What matters most is that you know tax preparation, care about accuracy, and enjoy doing good work for clients.
What You'll Do
You'll prepare a variety of federal and California tax returns for individuals and small businesses, including:
- 1040s with Schedules A, C, D and E
- 1120 and 1120-S corporate returns
- 1065 partnership returns
- W-2s, 1099s and other information returns
- Review and organize client financial information
- Reconcile income, expenses and supporting documentation
- Communicate with clients when additional information or clarification is needed
- Stay current on tax changes affecting common individual and business filings
What We're Looking For
We're more interested in your tax preparation experience and ability than your title.
You may be a good fit if you have:
- Experience preparing individual and small-business tax returns
- Working knowledge of federal and California tax requirements
- Previous CPA firm, accounting firm or tax preparation experience
- Strong attention to detail
- The ability to work independently and meet deadlines
- A professional, approachable communication style
CPA license not required.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This isn't a role where you need to constantly chase the next title. It's an opportunity to become a valued member of an established tax team and focus on doing work you're good at.
The firm offers:
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- A collaborative, team-oriented work environment
- An established and loyal client base
- Exposure to a variety of individual and business tax situations
- Stability with a growing Fresno CPA practice
- An environment where good work is recognized and appreciated
If you're an experienced tax preparer looking for a place where you can settle in, contribute, and build a long-term career, we'd like to hear from you.
