Senior Tax Associate

Working Arrangement: Hybrid – 3 days in office

Are you a Senior Tax Associate looking for an opportunity where your experience is valued, your ideas are heard, and you're given the chance to develop beyond tax compliance?

Pperhaps you're ready for greater client exposure, more involvement in tax planning, or a firm that offers genuine progression without the rigid hierarchy often associated with public accounting.

AJ Chambers is connecting with experienced Tax Seniors across the Dallas area who are interested in opportunities with established and growing CPA firms offering a more personal, collaborative approach to public accounting.

This type of opportunity offers the chance to take ownership of complex tax engagements while developing your technical expertise, client relationships and leadership capabilities.

• Preparing and reviewing federal and state tax returns for individuals, partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, and trusts.
• Supporting tax planning, projections and advisory services for individuals and closely held businesses.
• Working directly with clients to understand their circumstances and provide practical tax guidance.
• Researching complex tax matters, including multi-state taxation, entity structures and partnership issues.
• Reviewing work prepared by junior associates and supporting their professional development.
• Collaborating with Tax Managers, Directors and Partners on complex engagements.
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes, efficiency and client service.

The right environment can make all the difference to your career.

We're particularly interested in speaking with Tax Seniors who value working within collaborative, people-focused firms where technical development and long-term progression are genuinely encouraged.

These environments offer the opportunity to work closely with experienced tax professionals, contribute ideas, build meaningful client relationships and take on increasing responsibility.

Whether your ambition is to progress into management, develop your advisory expertise or simply find a firm offering a healthier work-life balance, we'd welcome a conversation.

• 3+ years of tax experience within a US public accounting firm.
• Experience preparing individual and business tax returns, including Forms 1040, 1065, 1120-S and 1120.

• A bachelor's degree in Accounting or a related discipline.
• CPA or EA qualification, CPA eligibility, or active progress towards certification.
• A working understanding of partnership taxation, K-1s, shareholder basis and federal/state compliance.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to interact directly with clients.

• Competitive salaries: Opportunities targeting $95,000–$115,000, dependent on experience.
• Hybrid working: Flexible arrangements with a balance of office collaboration and working from home.

We understand that exploring a new opportunity doesn't necessarily mean you're ready to leave your current firm.

That's why AJ Chambers takes a confidential, consultative approach to recruitment.

Once you've applied, we'll review your resume and reach out to arrange an initial conversation, either over the phone or via Microsoft Teams.

We'll discuss your experience, career ambitions, salary expectations and what you're looking for in your next opportunity.
