Job Description
Senior Tax Associate Distinct Recruitment - 4.5 West Palm Beach, FL Job Details Full-time $85,000 - $110,000 a year 3 days ago Benefits Health insurance Dental insurance 401(k) Tuition reimbursement Paid time off Vision insurance 401(k) matching Flexible schedule Retirement plan Qualifications Public accounting Accounting firm experience Full Job Description Tax Senior | West Palm Beach | Hybrid If you're coming from a larger firm and wondering whether a smaller CPA firm could give you more balance, more trust and a better day to day experience, this is a good example of one that does. I've helped two people join this team over the past year, both from larger firms, and the feedback has been very positive. More support, more flexibility and a team they've settled into quickly. The firm has been around since the 80s, has very low staff turnover and a Partner group that takes the whole "family comes first" thing seriously. For a Tax Senior, that means good quality work, client exposure and room to progress without being expected to live at your desk. Busy season doesn't properly ramp up until March and generally peaks at around 50 to 55 hours for a few weeks. Hybrid working is available, the Partners are approachable, and once they know you can do the job, there's plenty of trust around how you manage your time. The firm has a meaningful Non Profit client base, so Form 990 experience is important, alongside broader tax work including 1040, 1041 and 1065. You'll prepare and review returns, work directly with clients, support more junior members of the team and get plenty of exposure to the Partners on more complex work. You won't be stuck in a narrow role either. There's room to keep building your review experience, take on more client responsibility and progress towards Manager. The package includes competitive compensation, 401(k) match, health, dental and vision insurance, summer and Christmas discretionary bonuses, plus hybrid flexibility. CPA or EA is preferred, alongside strong recent Public Accounting tax experience. Form 990 experience is important. If you want a firm where people stay because they like the culture, the people and the way they're treated, this is worth a conversation.
