Tax Staff Accountant

Morrow, United States | Posted on 05/08/2025

Fulton & Kozak is where STAFF want to come and thrive, CLIENTS are confident in our superior service, and as a FIRM, we continually grow in professional expertise and quality.

We’re a full‑service accounting, assurance, and advisory firm with over 40 years of experience serving individuals and businesses from our main office in Morrow, Georgia. As a growing mid‑size firm, we combine the knowledge of a seasoned team with the personal connection of a close‑knit workplace.

As a Tax Staff Accountant, you’ll work on preparing tax returns while building your technical foundation and gaining exposure to a variety of clients and industries. You’ll start by handling straightforward matters and grow into more complex work with guidance from experienced CPAs. From day one, you’ll receive mentorship and personal support for your career growth.

We’re a great fit for those who want to grow with a team and a firm that’s actively evolving. At F&K, you’ll help shape your own development while gaining broad exposure across industries, rather than being placed into a narrow industry niche.

This role supports our firm’s mission by preparing accurate and timely tax returns for individuals, businesses, estates, trusts, and non‑profits. Over time, you’ll begin learning how to support clients with tax planning and understand how more complex issues are handled by senior team members.

Success in this role looks like:

• Building a strong foundation in tax and critical thinking
• Communicating clearly with clients and team members
• Taking initiative in learning and applying new concepts
• Progressing steadily towards CPA licensure
