Job Description & How to Apply Below

Ever notice how tax season feels like it lasts forever… and then suddenly, it's gone in a flash?

You come up for air in the summer, and everything's quiet. Too quiet.

Then suddenly — just like that — the right opportunity lands in your inbox.

This is one of those moments.

We’re working with a tight-knit CPA firm in New Jersey that’s looking to bring an experienced tax professional into their growing team. Not just to plug a hole — but to help shape the next phase of the firm.

This is the kind of place where:
  • You actually know your clients — and they know you
  • Your ideas are welcomed, not buried under layers of red tape
  • You get real flexibility (hybrid schedules, remote options, and yes — time off that people actually take)
  • Summers are lighter, not just “off-peak”
  • You can do great work and still get home for dinner

They’ve got a loyal client base, a collaborative team, and a leadership style that’s more “open door” than “top down.”

About the role:
  • Office based in northern NJ (hybrid / flexible setup)
  • Mix of high-net-worth individuals, trusts, partnerships, S corps, and small businesses
  • Tax planning, compliance, and advisory work (not just grinding through returns)
  • Ideal for:
    Tax Seniors or Managers with 5+ years of public accounting experience
  • CPA or EA preferred, but not required if you’ve got the experience

If you've been feeling like you're ready for more — more ownership, more balance, more say in how things are done — this is that kind of move.

When the right opportunity pulls up… make sure you get in.

Here’s the part most people get wrong: you don’t need to tick every box to introduce yourself. The apply button is not legally binding. Worst case? We chat, decide the timing isn’t right, and you carry on. Best case? You bag yourself a fantastic new position.

Prefer the human touch? Splendid. Ring me up. I’m at . Also, I get it can be hard to talk with the fear of your Managing Partner walking past your office. I’m around early 6am EST and after hours too.
