ABOUT THE FIRM

W.E. Stevens, P.C. is a midsize CPA firm in Omaha, Nebraska, with a reputation for doing serious accounting work without the noise of a large firm. We serve a diverse client base: closely held businesses, S-corporations, partnerships, high-net-worth individuals, and nonprofits across tax preparation, advisory, and accounting services.

We are growing deliberately. This is not a backfill hire; it is a role we are adding because the work warrants it and we want someone who will grow with the firm over the long term.

THE ROLE

You will carry your own portfolio of business and individual clients from engagement through delivery tax preparation, write-up, compiled financials, planning conversations, and the client relationships that tie them together. You will work directly with the owner and the firm managers with no unnecessary layers between you and the decisions that affect our clients.

This role is fully remote. We have built the infrastructure and the culture to support it. The expectation is professional-grade independence.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• 
  Prepare and review complex tax returns across entity types

Individual (1040), S-corporation (1120-S), partnership (1065), C-corporation (1120), trust (1041), and nonprofit (990)

• 
  Manage month-end and quarter-end write-up and bookkeeping engagements for business clients (cash and accrual basis)
• 
  Prepare compiled financial statements in accordance with applicable professional standards
• 
  Lead client relationships for your portfolio status updates, planning conversations, open item follow-up
• 
  Research complex tax and accounting issues; document conclusions and communicate recommendations clearly
• 
  Support tax planning engagements for business owners: entity structure, retirement, year-end strategies
• 
  Review and mentor junior staff work; provide constructive, specific feedback
• 
  Ensure all engagements meet quality standards

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

Required

• 
  Active CPA license; this is a hard requirement
• 
  5 or more years of public accounting experience, with meaningful time in tax preparation and client-facing roles
• 
  Demonstrated ability to prepare complex individual and business returns independently
• 
  Hands-on experience with accrual and cash basis bookkeeping
• 
  Proficiency in CCH Axcess Tax, UltraTax, or Lacerte and QuickBooks Online or Desktop

  Track record of managing client relationships and deadlines remotely
• 
  Clear written and verbal communicator

Meaningful advantages (not required)

• 
  IRS representation / Circular 230 experience
• 
  Experience with compiled or reviewed financial statement engagements
• 
  SurePrep, SureBinder, or similar workflow tools
• 
  Nonprofit or trust return experience (990, 1041)

WHAT WE OFFER

Direct access to owner no bureaucratic layers

Paid time off and firm holidays

WHY THIS ROLE, HONESTLY

A lot of senior CPA postings describe autonomy and then deliver a rigid review process with four layers between the preparer and the owner. There is no room for that, and no interest in it. You will have real relationships with real clients, prepare returns that require real judgment, and be involved in the conversations that matter to those clients, not just the compliance of deliverables.
