  • Research accounting and tax issues as needed
  • Support clients throughout tax season

Team Leadership

  • Mentor and supervise junior accounting staff
  • Review work for accuracy and completeness
  • Improve workflows, documentation, and quality control
  • Help build and scale the accounting team over time
  • Serve as the first point of escalation for accounting questions

Client Service

  • Communicate professionally with clients
  • Resolve accounting issues proactively
  • Manage deadlines across multiple engagements
  • Deliver consistent, accurate work with minimal supervision

  • CPA or CPA candidate preferred
  • Experience working in a U.S. CPA firm

Who Will Thrive in This Role

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Highly reliable and dependable
  • Proactive rather than reactive
  • Comfortable taking ownership
  • Calm under deadlines
  • Detail-oriented without sacrificing efficiency
  • Interested in growing into a long-term leadership position

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 6–12 months, you'll:

  • Independently manage a portfolio of client accounts
  • Deliver consistently accurate bookkeeping and tax work
  • Require minimal oversight
  • Begin supervising and developing junior accounting staff
  • Help improve internal processes as the firm continues to grow

Why Join Us?

  • Fully remote position
