Tax Accountant

I am hiring for my client, a growing tax and accounting firm in Gilbert, AZ , that is looking to add an experienced Enrolled Agent or Tax Accountant to its team.

This is a newly created role for someone who knows tax, enjoys working directly with clients, and can jump in. EA certification is preferred, but not a dealbreaker for a strong tax professional with the right hands-on experience.

What you’ll be doing:

• Preparing individual, corporate, partnership, and estate tax returns
• Supporting tax planning, compliance, and more complex client needs
• Working directly with clients and building lasting relationships
• Reviewing financials and completing reconciliations as needed
• Utilizing QuickBooks and tax preparation software
• Working independently while collaborating with a close-knit team
• Potentially growing into ownership of an assigned client base

What they're looking for:

• 3+ years of hands-on tax accounting experience
• Strong tax preparation and general accounting knowledge
• QuickBooks experience
• Experience with Lacerte or similar tax software is a plus
• EA, CPA, or similar credential is a big plus, but not required
• Strong client-facing communication skills
• Someone who can step in, take ownership, and work independently
• A team-oriented personality looking for a long-term home

The details:

• Competitive salary
• Bonus opportunities
• Paid vacation and sick time + 11 paid holidays
• Paid training and continuing education
• Opportunities for advancement
• Generally 40–45 hours per week , with additional hours possible during tax season
• Fully onsite in Gilbert, AZ

This could be a great fit for someone who enjoys the tax side of accounting but wants more visibility, client ownership, and room to grow with a smaller firm.
