Senior Tax Accountant

Help Business Owners Make Better Financial Decisions—Not Just Better Tax Returns

Most accounting firms hire Senior Tax Accountants to prepare returns. Our client is looking for someone who wants to become a trusted advisor.

Good Works Talent is partnering with Driven Tax Strategies
, a growing Wichita-based tax planning and tax preparation firm, to identify an experienced Senior Tax Accountant who enjoys solving complex tax challenges, building long-term client relationships, and helping businesses and individuals make smarter financial decisions.

Driven Tax Strategies believes tax planning should be proactive - not reactive.

The firm partners with business owners and individuals throughout the year to minimize taxes, improve financial outcomes, and make informed decisions as businesses and lives evolve.

Rather than focusing solely on annual tax preparation, the team provides strategic tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory services that help clients build stronger financial futures.

As the practice continues to grow, they're looking for professionals who want to build lasting client relationships and play an important role in the firm's continued success.

This is not a production-only tax role. You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work directly with business owners and individual clients
• Prepare and review complex tax returns
• Research challenging tax issues
• Develop proactive tax-planning strategies
• Mentor less-experienced accountants
• Improve workflows and best practices
• Help shape the future of a growing practice

You’ll see the complete client picture - from financial information and bookkeeping through tax planning, compliance, and long-term advisory work.

Deliver Exceptional Technical Work - Become a trusted technical resource by preparing and reviewing complex individual and business tax returns with exceptional accuracy, sound judgment, and minimal review corrections.

Become a Trusted Client Advisor - Build strong client relationships by helping individuals and business owners understand complex tax issues, identify planning opportunities, and make informed financial decisions throughout the year.

Manage Complex Tax Engagements - Take ownership of increasingly sophisticated client engagements from initial information gathering through final filing, while managing deadlines, solving problems, and delivering an exceptional client experience.

Help Develop the Tax Team - Mentor staff accountants, review technical work, provide meaningful coaching, and contribute to raising the quality and consistency of the firm's tax practice.

Grow Into Future Leadership - Develop the technical expertise, client management skills, and leadership capability to assume greater responsibility as Driven Tax Strategies continues to grow.

We're looking for someone who combines technical excellence with strong communication and relationship-building skills. Ideal candidates will have:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting
• 5–8+ years of progressive tax experience
• Public accounting experience
• Experience preparing complex individual and business tax returns
• Strong knowledge of federal and state tax law
• Experience researching technical tax issues
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines during tax season
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities
• High attention to detail and commitment to quality

Experience with Thomson Reuters or CCH tax software, Quick Books, Microsoft Office, and advanced Excel is preferred.

CPA or Enrolled Agent credentials are beneficial, but not required for the right candidate.

You’ll join a collaborative team that values technical excellence, continuous learning, and exceptional client service.

Here, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Build long-term client relationships
• Work on interesting and challenging tax issues
• Expand your planning and advisory expertise
• Help improve systems and processes
• Contribute to the growth of a respected local firm
• Develop toward future leadership opportunities

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Performance bonus opportunity
• Professional development and continuing education
• Full-time, exempt position

Additional compensation and benefits details will be shared during the interview process.
