How long have you been telling yourself you'll sit the last section after busy season? This Walnut Creek firm has an answer to that. It's a tax senior seat at $112k to $138k, and part of the deal is that you finish a credential while you're in it. CPA, EA, or the bar if you came into tax through law. They're not fussy which one, they just want it done rather than talked about. The work is the step up from preparing. Returns that need thinking about, reviewing what the associates did before it goes out, and your own clients to talk to. It's a small tax team, in the office, and there's nowhere to hide in a small team when something's late. Why this firm $112k to $138k, and where you land depends on experience and whether you're licensed Finishing the credential is part of the job, with a study plan you set each year Reviewing other people's returns starts in year 1 here Your own client conversations rather than notes passed up through a manager Health cover, a 401(k) with a match, and a share of the profits The catch: 5 days in the office, a small team, and you pick up whatever needs picking up What you'll be doing Preparing the returns that aren't routine, federal, state and local Reviewing associates' work and telling them why, not just what Research when something doesn't fit the usual pattern, and the planning point that falls out of it Talking to clients yourself What you'll have CPA, EA, or admitted to a state bar, or close enough to finish one during the job 2 years of public accounting tax, with a year of partnership and S corp returns in it A degree in accounting, or a law degree

Next Steps:

Here's the bit worth remembering: you don't need to be actively looking to have a conversation. Maybe there's something better out there for you. Maybe there isn't. Worst case, we have a confidential chat and you decide staying put is the right move. That's a perfectly good outcome too. If you'd rather talk than apply, call me on 916 713 5173. I know deadlines, extensions and the small matter of actually billing your hours don't always leave much room in your day. So I'm around early mornings (from 5am) and at weekends too. And if speaking to a recruiter isn't normally high on your list of enjoyable activities, I understand. I'm Dale Cawley at Distinct North America.
