Job description

Senior Tax Advisor – Fully Remote

$120,000–$150,000 Base + Bonus | 50-Hour Busy Seasons | Advisory Focus

If you're an experienced tax professional who enjoys working directly with clients but is tired of spending every busy season buried in compliance work, this opportunity is worth a conversation.

We're partnering confidentially with a growing finance firm that has built its tax practice differently. Located in the Midwest.

A dedicated preparation team handles much of the compliance work, allowing senior professionals to focus on tax strategy, planning, and client relationships.

Why Consider This Role?
  • Fully remote
  • $120,000–$150,000 base salary, depending on experience
  • Quarterly profit-sharing bonus
  • Busy seasons designed around approximately 50 hours per week
  • True advisory role rather than compliance management
  • Established portfolio of approximately 50–60 client relationships
  • CPE, licensing, and advanced tax training covered
What You'll Do

You'll serve as the primary tax advisor to business owners and high-net-worth clients, helping them make smarter tax and financial decisions throughout the year.

Responsibilities include:

  • Proactive tax planning and strategy
  • Multi-year projections and scenario modeling
  • Entity structure and owner compensation planning
  • Retirement, real estate, and equipment-related tax strategies
  • Multi-state tax considerations
  • Business acquisitions and ownership transitions
  • Leading client meetings and coordinating strategy implementation
  • Mentoring developing tax professionals
Who We're Looking For
  • 5–10+ years of public accounting tax experience
  • CPA/EA required
  • Strong experience with closely held businesses and/or HNW clients
  • Comfortable owning client relationships and leading advisory conversations
  • Professional-services experience is highly desirable

This is an excellent fit for someone who wants to stay in public accounting while moving away from the traditional 70-hour, compliance-heavy busy season model.
