Tax Senior

Tax Senior

Hartford County, CT (Hybrid) | Salary: $90,000 - $110,000 Bonus | Full-Time

This is a great opportunity to join a respected, mid sized public accounting firm in the Hartford County, CT area. The firm has built its reputation on developing long‑term careers instead of cycling through staff, and it deliberately keeps its culture close‑knit and flexible rather than modeling itself after a large national practice. People who thrive here tend to want a smaller, more personal environment where real relationships with partners and colleagues are the norm, along with a genuine commitment to work‑life balance once the spring rush winds down.

The firm is adding a Tax Senior to its growing tax practice. In this role, you'll prepare and review a wide range of tax returns, sharpen your technical skills, and gain exposure to partners, managers, and staff across the department rather than being locked into one narrow team. It's a strong next step for someone who wants to keep growing technically while taking on more ownership.

• Prepare and review income tax returns for corporations, partnerships, trusts, and individuals
• Take on increasingly complex assignments as your experience grows, delegating appropriately to interns or staff
• Serve as a technical resource for less experienced staff and interns
• Research tax issues ranging from routine to complex
• Support tax planning work for business and individual clients
• Collaborate across a flexible team structure, working with different partners and managers depending on the engagement

• 3 years of tax experience within a public accounting firm
• CPA license preferred, or well underway toward earning one
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance

• One true busy season: wraps up by April 15 each year, with Seniors averaging 55 to 60 hours during that stretch and nothing like it the rest of the year
• Your Fridays back: half day Fridays outside of tax season bring the average work week down to about 36 hours
• Flexibility that actually works: a hybrid schedule built around 3 to 4 days in the office, not a rigid five‑day mandate
• A mentor in your corner: paired with someone one or two levels above you for guidance and feedback that directly shapes your performance reviews
• A team that feels like one: an open door culture with partners, plus regular happy hours and team outings
• Growth beyond the billable hour: genuine investment in your long‑term career, not just your utilization rate
• Well‑rounded benefits: paid time off and holidays, company paid life and disability coverage, health insurance, support for continuing education, and a 401(k) match
