Senior Tax Accountant

Fairfield, NJ • Posted 5 days ago
Remote Full Time Accounting

Ever notice how tax season feels like it lasts forever… and then suddenly, it's gone in a flash?

You come up for air in the summer, and everything's quiet. Too quiet.


Then suddenly — just like that — the right opportunity lands in your inbox.


This is one of those moments.


We’re working with a tight-knit CPA firm in New Jersey that’s looking to bring an experienced tax professional into their growing team. Not just to plug a hole — but to help shape the next phase of the firm.


This is the kind of place where:

  • You actually know your clients — and they know you
  • Your ideas are welcomed, not buried under layers of red tape
  • You get real flexibility (hybrid schedules, remote options, and yes — time off that people actually take)
  • Summers are lighter, not just “off-peak”
  • You can do great work and still get home for dinner


They’ve got a loyal client base, a collaborative team, and a leadership style that’s more “open door” than “top down.”


About the role:

  • Office based in northern NJ (hybrid / flexible setup)
  • Mix of high-net-worth individuals, trusts, partnerships, S corps, and small businesses
  • Tax planning, compliance, and advisory work (not just grinding through returns)
  • Ideal for: Tax Seniors or Managers with 5+ years of public accounting experience
  • CPA or EA preferred, but not required if you’ve got the experience


If you've been feeling like you're ready for more — more ownership, more balance, more say in how things are done — this is that kind of move.

Quiet summers don’t last forever.

When the right opportunity pulls up… make sure you get in.
