Tax Senior

Briscoe, Burke & Grigsby is a Tulsa‑based CPA firm with a work environment that supports both remote and in-office collaboration, modern cloud-based systems, and a focus on sustainable workloads. We prioritize flexibility, efficiency, and meaningful client work so our team can do high-level tax work without unnecessary grind.

Our tech stack includes Canopy (workflow & practice management), Ultra Tax, Blue J (tax research), and Safe Send (tax return delivery), and we continue to actively invest in automation and process improvement to reduce manual work. We have busy season targets of 55-60 hours per week with partners actively monitoring capacity and reassigning work when needed to stay within that range.

We're seeking a skilled Tax Senior to prepare and review complex returns, support client relationships, and help develop our staff. The ideal candidate will have experience preparing individual and business returns, conducting tax research, and reviewing staff work. If you are looking for a firm that combines flexibility with a modern, tech‑enabled approach to tax work with high growth potential as we scale up, then we'd love to talk to you.

We strive to differentiate ourselves from traditional public accounting firms by offering:

• Hybrid flexibility with schedule autonomy
• Realistic busy season expectations
• Modern tax and workflow systems
• Direct client interaction and advisory‑focused work
• Clear path to Tax Manager as the firm scales
