Tax Preparer/Reviewer

Our established and reputable CPA firm located in the breathtakingly beautiful pine-covered mountains of Prescott, Arizona is currently seeking someone who loves taxes and wants to show-off their knowledge of the tax code with us either as a seasonal, part-time or full time employee. If you are at the beginning of your career, we can offer a career opportunity of a life-time, with growth, advancement and partner possibilities. Or, if you just want to seasonally prepare taxes with a firm that has great resources and superb employees, then we are the place for you! We are seeking someone who loves preparing, planning, reviewing, and passionately living Federal and State taxes! Not just a box filler, but someone who actually knows how to explain what the box filling actually results in and can explain that to a client. So client service and a good personality have to go hand-in-hand with tax geekiness! We can train on software and processes (which are paramount in running a firm), but we can't train experience, drive and the love of tax. We're all about integrity & honesty, respectfulness, compassion, responsiveness, teamwork, professionalism, and ambition. And did we mention fun, friendly and family? We are looking for a team member who shares our core values, has the tax geekiness and and wants to be a part of our firm. If you think this is the job for you, please reach out!
