Tax Accountant

Burds & Kuntz is a highly collaborative, client-focused CPA firm that works with complex, high-level clients. Unlike many firms, we maintain a curated client base, allowing our team to focus on meaningful, high-impact tax work rather than high-volume, low-complexity returns.

This role offers a unique blend of public accounting tax experience with exposure to private company environments, including acting as an extension of a client’s internal tax function.

If you're looking for strong mentorship, meaningful client exposure, and consistent work year-round (not just during busy season), this is a great opportunity to grow your career in public accounting.

• Work heavily on multi-state tax filings, including supporting large corporate clients filing across multiple jurisdictions
• Assist with complex tax returns (corporate and pass-through entities, including S-Corps and partnerships)
• Analyze financial data and apply strong accounting fundamentals to support tax filings
• Collaborate with team members to divide and manage large client engagements (ex: splitting multi-state filings across team members)
• Gain exposure to year-round tax work, including extensions (Sept 15/Oct 15 deadlines)
• Participate in tax planning and year-end strategy work for ongoing clients
• Work closely with mentors (Tax Directors) and receive regular coaching and feedback

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• 0–3 years of experience in tax (public accounting experience or relevant internship preferred)
• Basic understanding of:
• Tax compliance and preparation
• Corporate, partnership, or individual returns
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work in a team-oriented, collaborative environment
• Strong communication skills and willingness to ask questions
• Interest in pursuing a career in public accounting tax

• Experience in a public accounting firm environment
• Exposure to:

• For experienced candidates (2–3 years): ideally started or passed portions of the CPA exam
• Experience with multi-state tax filings or complex tax engagements
• Comfort working with larger, more sophisticated clients
• Desire for long-term career growth in public accounting (or strong long-term contributor mindset)

• Consistent year-round work
• Lower busy-season hours (~50/week)
• Mentorship and coaching model
• High-quality client exposure
