nJob Description
n** About the Role **
nAre you the kind of person who believes we are overtaxed as a country and wants to do something about it. Helping small businesses use the code to keep more of their money instead of just mindlessly filling out paperwork to hand more of it over to uncle Sam to waste.
nDo you enjoy learning how tax returns actually work, not just entering numbers but understanding the why behind them, and steadily improving your skills with each return you touch?
nDo you notice details others miss, ask thoughtful questions, and take pride in doing work carefully and correctly?

nYou’ll work closely with senior tax professionals and firm leadership to prepare individual and business returns, review client documents thoroughly, and assist with tax planning and strategy work.
