Tax Accountant - Public Accounting

Tax Accountant Opportunity

Our client is a small CPA firm in central Ohio focusing on small to mid-sized businesses, not-for-profits, and high wealth individuals. They are looking for an accounting professional to join their team as a Tax Accountant.

In this role, you do all the things you would expect such as work with small business execs and their firms, consult on tax strategies, prepare/oversee returns, make sure tax payments are made accurately and on time, etc. Beyond that, you work with clients to help them run the organizations smoothly with a minimum of hassle from a tax reporting and compliance perspective.

They are open to a strong professional who can work in a hybrid or possibly remote environment. What's different from other Tax Accounting jobs? We interviewed the current staff:

• It's a real family-oriented company. If I need to take my kid to the doctor, I can do it and adjust my hours without being made to feel guilty about it.
• Busy season is still busy season, but I have so much more control over my schedule and work hours.
• I like that we have a shorter work week at 37.5 hours and get anything in excess paid out or banked as time off.
• There's no politics here. Everyone is open and honest, no pretenses, and no games.
• The Managing Partner sits just down the hall, and I see him all the time. His door's always open and I can just walk in and talk about a situation or ask a question.
• I came from a large firm where it was all about your boss making partner. Here, there are no ego’s - we all work as a team to help each other.
• We do all sorts of team and community things, like charity golf outings and helping our not for profit clients with their events and initiatives.

A bonus is that the firm is looking for individuals who can grow and become a leader in the firm.

What it takes:

• A passion for Tax Accounting and 4+ years experience doing tax and related work in public accounting.
• Experience with Tax Accounting for individuals, small business, family business, LLC's, S-corps, partnerships, etc.
• You'll be in a client facing role with a set of clients, so strong interpersonal and relationship skills are key to success.
• The ability to dig into records and figure out ways to help the client. Adept at common software like Ultra Tax, Quickbooks, and Excel.
