Tax Staff - Public Fairfax, VA

Tax Specialist

My client is looking for a detail-oriented tax specialist to join their public accounting team, supporting a portfolio that includes real estate entities, pass-through businesses, and high-net-worth individuals. This position emphasizes technical review, tax planning, and client-facing advisory work rather than high-volume preparation tasks. The role offers close collaboration with firm leadership and a strong opportunity to expand into greater client ownership and long-term career progression.

Responsibilities:

• Review federal and multistate tax filings for individuals, partnerships, and S corporations, identifying issues and resolving them before final partner approval.
• Analyze real estate and pass-through tax matters, including allocation calculations, basis maintenance, and depreciation treatment.
• Contribute to planning strategies and advisory recommendations for property investors and high-net-worth clients.
• Partner directly with firm leadership to support complex engagements and strengthen overall client service delivery.
• Build trusted relationships with clients by responding to questions, clarifying tax matters, and providing thoughtful guidance.
• Evaluate tax work papers and supporting documentation to improve accuracy, completeness, and compliance across engagements.
• Assist with more advanced tax matters involving multistate reporting and specialized real estate considerations when needed.
