• Excellent analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented professional who can work independently and collaboratively.

• Join an established regional accounting firm with a growing Tax Department.
• Gain broad exposure to clients and engagements rather than working in a highly specialized environment.
• Work directly with Partners and Principals on tax planning, compliance, and advisory matters.
• Take ownership of client relationships and engagements from start to finish.
