Senior Tax Associate

Annual bonus tied to your development plan, profit sharing through the 401k, CPA reimbursement, structured mentoring with regular progression reviews, and a hybrid working model that gives you flexibility without losing connection to the team. That's the starting point here. This Tax Senior role suits someone who enjoys being a generalist and staying involved across the full picture of client work. You'll be preparing and reviewing business, fiduciary, and individual returns, supporting projections and planning conversations, responding to tax correspondence, and working through technical questions that help clients make better decisions for their businesses. The client base is largely made up of family-owned and closely held businesses, so the work stays practical and relationship-driven. There's also exposure to areas beyond core compliance, including foreign tax, payroll tax, and sales and use tax. Any prior SALT experience would be a strong plus, but not essential. Mentoring is a real part of the role as well. You'll support staff development day to day while continuing to build your own technical depth through a structured training programme that includes both internal learning and external education support. The environment is collaborative and steady. Leadership is visible, expectations are clear, and progression is built around contribution rather than time served. It suits someone who enjoys working closely with clients and being part of a team where knowledge sharing is part of how things get done. They're looking for someone with public accounting experience reviewing individual and business returns, confidence working directly with clients, and an interest in mentoring staff while continuing to grow across multiple areas of tax. If you are just browsing the job boards and have not dusted off your resume yet, that is not a problem, you can give me a call first. You will find my number on LinkedIn. Search Lucy Weibel at Distinct North America. If you prefer, you can drop me a connection or message on LinkedIn and we can pick up on there.

We support the CPA firms we partner with in building diverse, inclusive and equitable workplaces, so even if your experience does not align perfectly, please do still apply. If this position is not quite right, it is highly likely we will have other public accounting positions that could be a good fit for you.
