Senior Tax Accountant
Salary: $85,000 – $120,000

This Senior Tax Accountant will work closely with experienced mentors and leadership, gaining exposure to complex structures while expanding technical expertise in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment. It’s an excellent opportunity for a tax professional who values precision, development, and meaningful impact.

Why This Senior Tax Accountant Opportunity Stands Out:

• Highly visible role supporting tax compliance across 40+ entities with varying structures
• Direct access to seasoned tax leaders and investment professionals offering hands-on mentorship
• Opportunity for the Senior Tax Accountant to deepen technical expertise in corporate, partnership, nonprofit, individual, and foreign reporting
• Stable environment with strong long-term professional development pathways
• Collaborative culture that values accuracy, learning, and continuous improvement

Key Responsibilities for the Senior Tax Accountant:

• Manage incoming tax compliance documents and maintain organized checklists across 40+ entities as the Tax Accounting Senior
• Review, analyze, and reconcile tax materials for completeness, accuracy, and compliance
• Prepare extensions, estimated payments, and income tax provisions for corporate, partnership, nonprofit, and individual filings
• As the Senior Tax Accountant, assist with year-end close workpapers, book-to-tax reconciliations, and related journal entries
• Support foreign financial reporting, including FINCEN disclosures and additional required filings
• Coordinate with external advisors—providing documentation, reviewing prepared returns, and verifying accuracy
• Conduct targeted tax research covering federal, state, estate, and employment tax topics
• The Senior Tax Accountant will assist with tax analysis for new investments and calculate after-tax investment performance
• Identify and implement process improvements to enhance workflow, compliance efficiency, and data management
• Participate in tax audits and support additional accounting and operational initiatives as needed

Ideal Background for the Senior Tax Accountant:

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting; Master’s degree preferred
• CPA required
• 3+ years of experience in tax accounting, tax compliance, or public accounting
• Strong technical understanding of tax principles for corporations, partnerships, trusts, and multi-entity structures
• Proficiency in Excel and comfort working with accounting and document management systems
• Excellent organization, communication, and analytical problem-solving skills
• The ideal Senior Tax Accountant will demonstrate strong judgment, dependability, initiative, and a team-oriented mindset

If you’re a Senior Tax Accountant seeking a role with deep technical exposure, high visibility, and long-term growth in a sophisticated family office environment, this opportunity offers an exceptional next step.
