Full Job Description About Us:

The Nash Group P.S. was founded in 2020, building on a Tacoma-area legacy that dates back to the 1970s. Based in Fircrest, we serve contractors, real estate investors, and small business owners and are looking for an experienced tax professional to manage and grow their own client base. With a team of six full-time employees, we value collaboration, regular communication, and a strong team culture. This is an opportunity to work directly with clients, expand your book of business, and help shape the future of the firm. Job Overview You prepare the harder returns: individuals with Schedule C, rentals, K-1s and multi-state issues, plus S corporations, partnerships, and trusts. Everything goes to a reviewer, and you do not sign returns. You are not carrying a book of clients or chasing new business. You will also check work coming from our junior preparers before it reaches the reviewer, and handle the year-round business work: bookkeeping projects, month-end, Washington Department of Revenue and B&O filings. Client contact starts small and grows. In the first few months, it is mostly missing items and return status. As you get to know the work, we want you in more of those conversations. How fast that happens is up to you. We just brought a second Tacoma practice into the firm, so there is real volume and a real range of returns to work on. Immediate opening, and we would like you to settle before the 2027 filing season.
