Senior Tax Associate – HNW
Busy season looming over us has a funny way of clarifying things.
Maybe you've already buckled in because you genuinely like where you work… if you haven't and you've start thinking there has to be a better way to do public accounting than this, this firm exists for people like you.
They’re a 150-person, single-office CPA firm that’s been independent for 75 years. No PE, no mergers, no constant change and it shows in how long people stay. It’s genuinely unusual for them to lose someone to another CPA firm.
This is a newly created role within their High Net-Worth, Trusts & Estates group, and they’re hiring now because the work is there and they’re turning clients away, not because someone burned out and left.
You’ll be working with:- Trusts, estates and gift work
- Start to have client ownership, even at the staff level
Busy season averages around 55 hours. There’s a lighter August–October mini-season capped closer to 40–45, and summers are genuinely calmer, with:
- A compressed 4-day week option between Memorial Day and Labor Day
- Flex on when extra hours are done
They’re onsite during busy season, hybrid the rest of the year, and flexible around hours, especially if you’ve got a longer commute.
CPA isn’t required. What matters is a couple of years of tax experience and at least 1 years exposure to trust work.
If you’re still open to a move this side of busy season or you’re not unhappy but starting to question whether your current setup is sustainable, this is one of those firms that’s worth knowing about.

Imogen Talbot-Slack is a Recruiter with Distinct Recruitment.
Think you only have 87% of the required experience? Perfect - apply anyway. The CPA firms we partner with want diverse, interesting people, not corporate clones stamped from the same tedious mould.
Don’t overthink it. The worst outcome is a pleasant conversation about your career. The best? Well, that's where it gets rather exciting.
