- Minimum of 3+ years of public accounting experience, preferably with a strong tax focus.
- Strong knowledge of individual and business taxation.
- Experience preparing and reviewing complex individual and business tax returns.

Why is This a Great Opportunity:
Small firm of 8-10 employees (3-4 accountants, 3-4 admin support). A TON of work life balance and flexibility. Firm is currently turning down about 50% of the work brought to them because they're at capacity so a strong accountant could easily come in and take on that business and build their own book quickly. Spot bonuses throughout the year of 10k-20k (one employee received 40k in 2025 in spot bonuses for good work). Really a great opportunity for someone who doesn't want to work at a larger public accounting firm/Big 4, who wants to grow their business and income quickly.
Salary Type : Annual Salary
Salary Min : $ 80000
