Senior Tax Accountant

About the role

We are partnering with a well-established, independently owned public accounting firm that has built its reputation on trusted client relationships, technical excellence, and personalized service. Rather than simply preparing tax returns, the team serves as year-round advisors to closely held businesses, high-net-worth individuals, trusts, estates, and nonprofit organizations, helping clients make informed financial decisions and plan for the future.
