- Preparing and reviewing individual, corporate, and partnership tax returns

- Assisting with tax planning and consulting for clients in a wide range of industries

- Managing client relationships as their trusted point of contact

- Finding tax-saving opportunities and recommending strategies to clients

- Working alongside partners and senior managers on more complex engagements

- Mentoring and training newer staff

- Making sure filings meet federal and state tax requirements

 

What You'll Bring
