About the Role
We're seeking a highly experienced tax professional with a strong background in public accounting who can independently review individual and business tax returns, navigate complex tax situations, and serve as a technical resource for our tax preparation team. This is a senior-level review position designed for someone who has extensive experience reviewing returns, exercises sound professional judgment, and can confidently identify issues without requiring significant oversight. The ideal candidate is thorough, efficient, and comfortable managing a steady volume of returns during tax season while maintaining a high standard of accuracy.
Key Responsibilities
Independently perform detailed technical reviews of federal and state individual tax returns (Form 1040), including returns involving pass-through income, rental properties, investments, and self-employment. Review business tax returns, primarily S Corporations (Form 1120-S) and Partnerships (Form 1065), including more complex tax situations. Identify technical errors, inconsistencies, missed deductions, compliance concerns, and potential tax planning opportunities. Evaluate complex tax matters, including shareholder basis, distributions, reasonable compensation, and pass-through entity taxation. Review supporting workpapers, reconciliations, and documentation to ensure accuracy and appropriate tax treatment. Provide clear, constructive, and actionable review notes to tax preparers. Serve as a technical resource to the tax team, helping resolve questions and providing guidance on complex tax issues. Conduct tax research and apply current federal and state tax laws when needed. Help maintain an efficient review process by managing deadlines, prioritizing returns, and minimizing unnecessary back-and-forth.
Qualifications
Minimum of 8 years of tax preparation/review experience, with substantial experience independently reviewing individual and business tax returns. CPA or Enrolled Agent (EA) designation preferred. Advanced knowledge of federal individual and business taxation, particularly S Corporations, Partnerships, and pass-through entities. Demonstrated experience reviewing complex individual returns involving multiple income sources, business ownership, and multi-state filing requirements. Strong understanding of shareholder basis, distributions, business deductions, and other common small business tax considerations. Proven ability to identify technical issues, exercise independent judgment, and deliver accurate reviews with minimal supervision. Experience providing review notes, guidance, and technical support to tax preparers. Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple returns and deadlines during a busy tax season. Strong written communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach. Experience with Intuit ProConnect Tax is a plus.
