We are looking for a Senior Tax Accountant to oversee tax review, client accounting support, and remote staff oversight within a public accounting environment.
This role operates in a hybrid public accounting firm environment and carries ownership of reviewing tax returns, improving accuracy, supporting clients, and helping maintain workflow quality across a distributed team. The position is critical to ensuring timely and accurate tax preparation while supporting long-term client relationships and operational efficiency. This is not a pure data-entry or bookkeeping role; the ideal candidate must be comfortable reviewing work, identifying issues, and operating independently in a fast-paced accounting environment.

Provide oversight and guidance to junior accounting or offshore support staff
-
Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local tax requirements across multiple client engagements
-
Support tax planning initiatives and identify opportunities for operational improvement
Requirements-

Proficiency with QuickBooks and general ledger accounting required
-
Experience working in a public accounting or client-services environment required

Ability to operate independently in a hybrid or partially remote environment
