Full Job Description

Location: Fully Remote

Employment Type: Full-Time

Department: Tax

Reports To: Tax Manager

About the Role

Profitwise Accounting is hiring a Senior Tax Associate to join our Tax team. This role is ideal for an experienced tax professional who can prepare and review complex returns, support client relationships, identify planning opportunities, and help mentor other preparers.

This is not a basic tax preparation role. The Senior Tax Associate is expected to bring strong technical tax knowledge, sound judgment, client-facing confidence, and the ability to recognize risk before it becomes a larger issue. This person will prepare returns across multiple entity types, perform quality reviews, support tax planning, and serve as a trusted point of contact for clients.

The right candidate is detail-oriented, technically strong, comfortable researching tax rules, and able to communicate complex tax concepts clearly to clients and team members.

Key Responsibilities

Prepare accurate and timely tax returns for individuals, businesses, and complex entities.
Prepare and review returns for entities including S corporations, partnerships, and dissolved entities.
Perform quality reviews of tax returns, including checking tax documents against UltraTax entries.
Provide clear review notes, corrections, and developmental feedback to preparers.
Research federal, California, and multi-state tax rules, interpret findings, and apply them appropriately.
Identify potential client issues, tax risks, planning opportunities, and firm-level concerns.
Serve as a client relationship manager and main point of contact for assigned tax clients.
Respond to client and internal team communications within 24 hours.
Conduct client tax meetings, including kick-off meetings, tax planning meetings, and consultation appointments.
Prepare and present basic to intermediate tax plans.
Review tax projections prepared by Level 2 and Level 3 preparers.
Make tax planning recommendations related to retirement contributions, entity considerations, deductions, limitations, and taxable income reduction strategies.
Work with high-net-worth clients and identify opportunities to maximize deductions and reduce taxable income where appropriate.
Handle complex tax items such as stock options, installment sales, ownership changes, and accounting method changes.
Prepare or support Form 3115, Change in Accounting Method.
Prepare S corporation and partnership returns involving mid-year ownership changes.
Assist clients with IRS matters, including installment agreements and Offers in Compromise, when appropriate.
Maintain strong working knowledge of TaxPlan IQ and participate in TaxPlan IQ learning opportunities.
Support, mentor, and train other tax preparers.
Escalate client, technical, or firm-risk issues to the Tax Manager for analysis and resolution.
Work efficiently in a paperless, cloud-based environment while protecting client data and privacy.

Qualifications

Required

10+ years of tax preparation experience, or equivalent demonstrated experience handling complex tax work.
Enrolled Agent, CPA, CTEC, or similar tax credential.
Strong experience preparing individual, business, and entity tax returns.
Strong working knowledge of federal tax rules and California tax rules.
Ability to research tax rules, interpret guidance, and determine appropriate action.
Experience reviewing tax returns and providing feedback to preparers.
Strong client communication skills, including the ability to speak with confused or dissatisfied clients professionally.
Strong business acumen and ability to understand client circumstances beyond the tax return.
Comfortable working in a paperless environment.
Commitment to protecting client data and confidentiality.
Typing speed of approximately 50-60 WPM.
Proficiency with 10-key.
Ability to respond to clients and team members within 24 hours.

Preferred

Experience with UltraTax.
Experience with TaxPlan IQ.
Experience serving high-net-worth clients.
Experience preparing tax plans and conducting tax planning meetings.
Experience mentoring or training tax preparers.
Experience handling multi-state tax research.
Experience with IRS installment agreements or Offers in Compromise.
Experience with stock options, installment sales, Form 3115, ownership changes, and entity dissolutions.

What Success Looks Like

A successful Senior Tax Associate will:

Prepare accurate tax returns across entity types with at least 95% accuracy.
Complete assigned tax returns within one week, as needed.
Complete quality reviews within 5 business days of assignment.
Provide useful review notes that improve the quality of the return and help preparers grow.
Manage assigned client relationships with professionalism, responsiveness, and care.
Identify tax planning opportunities and communicate recommendations clearly.
Recognize client situations or tax issues that may create risk for the firm.
Meet weekly with the Tax Manager and provide a clear report on assigned tax client work.
Attend at least 2 hours of live tax webinars per month to strengthen technical knowledge and support department innovation.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who brings more than technical tax preparation ability. The Senior Tax Associate must be able to think critically, communicate clearly, and take ownership of outcomes.

The strongest candidates will:

Anticipate problems before they become urgent.
Explain tax rules in a way clients can understand.
Balance accuracy, efficiency, and client service.
Support other preparers without taking over their work unnecessarily.
Stay calm and professional when clients are confused, concerned, or unhappy.
Know when to act independently and when to escalate to the Tax Manager.
Bring a growth mindset to continued learning and process improvement.

Oneness: We collaborate with a One Profitwise mindset and show up for each other.
Impact: We create value by improving ourselves, our team, and our client community.

Grit: We embrace hard things, work through obstacles, and keep moving forward.
Service Excellence: We serve clients first and care deeply about the quality of the experience and product we deliver.

Compensation and Perks

Bonuses: Performance-based incentives

Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance

Retirement: 401(k) with employer match

A close-knit, supportive team
Meaningful, client-focused work with real growth potential
