Job description
Senior Tax Associate
Callow Consulting | Baltimore–Washington Area (100% Remote — U.S.)
$100,000–$150,000 Salary + Bonus + Full Benefits | Full-Time
This Isn’t Your Typical Tax Job
Most tax roles feel like factories.
You’re one of 40 preparers. Everything is siloed. You rarely speak with clients. You’re buried in basic 1040s, and no one trusts you to final-sign anything complex until you’ve been there for seven years.
Tax season is brutal, the off-season is slow, and “tax planning” is something only the Partners get to do.
We do the opposite.
Callow Consulting is a growing, full-service CPA firm specializing in individuals, professionals, estates and trusts, and small businesses. We’re looking for a Senior Tax Associate who is ready to own complex work from day one.
You’ll have the authority to prepare and final-sign returns, represent clients before the IRS, review the work of others, and proactively identify tax-planning opportunities.
This is a true Senior role.
You won’t be micromanaged.
You’ll be trusted.
What You’ll Do
On a typical day, you will:
Prepare and final-sign complex 1040s , including multi-state returns, rentals, Schedule C, S-corporation, and partnership returns
Perform final review on returns prepared by others and coach team members
Identify and execute proactive tax-planning opportunities , including:
Bunching strategies
Roth conversions
Entity selection
QBI optimization
Cost segregation
And other advanced planning strategies
Represent clients in IRS audits, collections matters, Offers in Compromise (OIC), installment agreements, and penalty-abatement cases
Work directly with high-net-worth individuals, business owners, trustees, and their attorneys
Explain the “why” behind tax positions , not simply the “how”
What We Need
These are non-negotiable requirements :
Active CPA license
2+ years of final sign-off authority on 1040s and small-business returns
3+ years preparing and/or reviewing 100+ returns annually , with full-cycle experience rather than seasonal-only preparation
Proven experience personally handling IRS notices, audits, or collections cases
Ability to confidently explain and defend the reasoning behind tax positions
No disciplinary history with the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility
Compensation & Benefits
$100,000–$150,000 base salary , based on proven experience and performance
100% remote — U.S. only
Eastern or Central Time Zone
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Retirement plan with employer match
Generous PTO
Paid holidays
A sanity-preserving tax-season policy
Immediate start — we want you fully ramped before January
