SUMMARY:

Our Houston headquartered CPA firm client seeks a strong Tax Staff or Senior for a growing tax practice.

DESCRIPTION:

This high quality, established but boutique firm in Houston is growing and seeks a strong tax accountant to assist in the growth. The partners of this top tier firm desire an individual who works to live (not lives to work) and who will join them in their quest to make this firm one that allows every employee (even at the highest levels) to have an outstanding quality of work and life balance.  This company is looking for a long term team player who is looking to join a firm with a solid record of outstanding client service.  This firm has an established tax practice and is looking to supplement the efforts of the established tax team of qualified professionals.  There is an established book of business for this individual. 

The company is looking for a person who will prepare and review complex individual, partnership and S corporation tax returns.  The complexities would involve the ability to analyze client prepared records in order to make appropriate adjusting journal entries or account for complex tax and financial transactions.  The role involves working extensively on high-income individual returns and involvement in the seamless integration of flow-through information from their owner-operated businesses.   In addition, this role will provide tax strategies for clients and will have tax planning exposure to well-known Houston clients.

The position requires that the person have the ability to look at individual tax records (e.g., Sch. K-1s, 1099s, etc.), as well as business accounting records (e.g., general ledgers, trial balances, etc.) and determine what is missing, what is incorrect and how to correct and reconcile the records.  The role needs someone who can work independently, although there will be supervision as well.

REQUIREMENTS:

4 year Accounting Degree

2+ years progressive public accounting experience

Strong communication skills

CPA eligible
