Senior Tax Associate – CPA Firm / Fast-Track Growth Opportunity Description
Our client, a growing advisory-focused CPA firm, is looking for a Tax Associate or Senior Tax Associate to join their team. This role will focus on individual and business tax preparation, client communication, and tax planning support for entrepreneurs and business owners.
