  • Assist with IRS and state tax notices, correspondence, and resolution efforts.
  • Participate in client engagements from planning through completion while ensuring deadlines and quality standards are met.
  • Assist with year-end filings including 1099s, W-2/W-3s, personal property tax filings, and sales tax returns.
  • Support accounting and financial statement engagements by performing reconciliations, posting journal entries, processing accounts payable and receivable transactions, and preparing workpapers.
  • Collaborate with the Tax CPA on complex tax matters, consulting projects, and tax-saving strategies.
  • Maintain awareness of changes in federal and state tax laws and regulations.
  • Assist in mentoring interns and supporting the training of new team members as needed.
  • Support internal finance and accounting projects as assigned.

Qualifications
  • 1-2 internships completed in tax
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
