Full-Time | Competitive Pay + Bonus | Full Benefits | Long-Term Stability
Do Your Best Work—Without the Burnout
If you’re a tax professional who enjoys preparing quality returns and working with good people (not office politics), this could be the role you’ve been looking for.
Our client, a respected and financially strong CPA firm, is adding a Tax Team Leader to support continued growth. This is a hands-on tax role where your experience is valued, your workload is reasonable, and your day-to-day focus stays where it belongs—on tax work, not unnecessary admin or chaos.
You’ll prepare individual and business returns, work directly with clients, and serve as a go-to resource for less experienced staff—without being pushed into a formal management track unless you want it.
Why This Firm Stands Out
A Culture That Actually Feels Supportive
Approachable partners, collaborative teammates, and a professional, respectful environment. No drama. No ego.
Stability You Can Count On
A long-established firm with strong financials and low turnover. People stay because they’re treated well.
Room to Grow—At Your Pace
Expand your technical skills, take on more complex work, and mentor others without the pressure of full-time supervision.
Strong Compensation & Benefits
Competitive salary, annual bonus potential, health coverage, and a benefits package that reflects your experience.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Prepare individual, partnership, and business tax returns ranging from straightforward to more complex
-
Act as a primary contact for assigned clients, ensuring accuracy and a high level of service
-
Support and guide junior tax staff as questions arise
-
Research tax issues and apply current federal and state regulations
-
Collaborate with the team to keep workflows smooth and deadlines manageable
What Will Help You Succeed
-
Solid experience preparing individual and business tax returns
-
Several years of hands-on tax work (CPA not required)
-
Comfort assisting or reviewing work completed by others
-
Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
-
A steady, client-focused approach and clear communication style
-
Interest in long-term growth within a supportive firm
The Bottom Line
This is a great opportunity for a tax professional who wants:
-
Meaningful tax work without constant pressure
-
A collaborative, people-first environment
-
Stability, growth, and respect for their experience
