Tax Senior Associate Private Client Services - Entertainment Industry Group

As Cohn Reznick grows, so do our career opportunities. As one of the nation's top professional services firms, Cohn Reznick creates rewarding careers in advisory, assurance, and tax with team members who value innovation and collaboration in everything they do!

Cohn Reznick helps organizations optimize performance, manage risk, and maximize value through Cohn Reznick LLP (assurance services) and Cohn Reznick Advisory LLC (advisory and tax services). Together, the firm provides leaders with deep industry knowledge and relationships, solutions to address clients' unique business goals and risks, and insight on how emerging market forces can drive opportunity. With offices nationwide, the firm serves organizations around the world as an independent member of Nexia.

We currently have an exciting career opportunity for a Tax Senior Associate to join the team in one of our New York Metro offices. Cohn Reznick is a hybrid firm and most of our professionals are located within a commutable distance to one of our offices. This position is considered hybrid which means team members are expected to be thoughtful and intentional in how they create opportunities for in-person collaboration.

While the cadence of in-office presence is determined at the team level, our professionals are encouraged to be in the office/together in person on average 3 days a week.

This position is rooted within the Private Client Services practice, with a particular emphasis on serving clients in the entertainment industry. In addition to entertainers and creative professionals, our client base includes Family Offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and entrepreneurs whose financial lives often span multiple business endeavors, investments, and personal interests. We work closely with clients to provide proactive guidance and a highly customized service experience designed to support their evolving needs.

The practice has a particular emphasis on supporting touring musicians and other entertainment professionals with their tax preparation and accounting needs.

At Cohn Reznick, we're united by a common mission to create opportunity, value, and trust for our clients, our people, and our communities. Whether it's working alongside your peers to solve a client challenge, or volunteering together at the local food bank, there are so many ways to find your "why" at the firm. We believe it's important to balance work with everyday life - and make time for enjoyment and fun.

We invest in a robust Total Rewards package that includes everything from generous PTO, a flexible work environment, expanded parental leave, extensive learning & development, and even paid time off for employees to volunteer.
