Client Profile
Our client is a growing public accounting and financial advisory firm that operates as a full-service fractional family office. The organization supports clients across tax compliance, proactive tax planning, bookkeeping, payroll, wealth management, and broader financial advisory services.

Tax professionals are encouraged to understand the full financial picture of their clients, develop deeper advisory skills, and participate in sophisticated planning strategies while working within a highly collaborative team.
The culture emphasizes communication, efficiency, professional development, and work-life balance. Team members work closely together despite the remote structure, with frequent communication, educational meetings, and ongoing collaboration across client relationships.

Prepare more complex returns as needed, including 1040, 1120S, 1065, and C Corporation returns
Evaluate returns beyond technical accuracy by identifying inconsistencies, planning opportunities, and issues based on knowledge of the client
Participate in and ultimately lead quarterly and semiannual client meetings
Discuss tax returns, projections, planning strategies, and financial questions directly with business owners and other senior client contacts
Develop a comprehensive understanding of assigned clients, including their businesses, tax position, bookkeeping status, previous planning discussions, and broader financial relationships
Prepare agendas and identify important issues or opportunities before client meetings
Present tax strategies and recommendations in a clear and approachable manner
Review work performed by Tax Associates and junior team members
