About Our Client

Our client is a national financial services platform supporting independent advisors and agents across the country.

Job Description

• Help launch and grow a centralized tax support function serving advisors and their end clients
• Prepare and review individual and business tax returns and support planning conversations (as appropriate for your background)
• Partner closely with advisors, internal teams, and marketing to deliver a high‑touch service experience
• Gather and organize client information, clarify open items, and translate complex tax topics into plain‑English guidance
• Improve workflows, templates, and processes as the new tax service line scales
• Leverage tax technology tools (they recently transitioned to CCH) and help drive adoption and efficiency
• Support compliance, documentation, and timely filing while maintaining a strong client experience

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in individual and or business tax (1040, 1065, 1120, 1120S experience helpful)
• Comfortable being client‑facing and partnering with non‑tax stakeholders (advisors, producers, internal teams)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with a service mindset
• Tech‑forward and interested in modern tax workflows (CCH experience is a plus)
• CPA or EA is strongly preferred, but not required if experience is strong

Why You Will Love Working Here
