Build a Career, Not Just a Tax Return:

Are you an experienced tax professional who wants to be more than a number in a large accounting firm? Our established CPA and advisory firm is looking for an experienced Tax Accountant to join our team in Hammonton, NJ. This is a high-level tax position for someone who enjoys working directly with clients, solving complex tax issues, and taking ownership of their work. You'll work with privately held businesses, business owners, entrepreneurs, and individuals throughout South and Central New Jersey. You'll have meaningful client interaction, exposure to firm leadership, and the opportunity to help shape how we serve and grow our client base. This is an opportunity to step into a significant role within an established local CPA firm—with the potential for long-term leadership and equity participation for the right person.

What Makes This Opportunity Different? You won't be lost in a large organization!
You'll have the opportunity to:
  • Build long-term relationships with business owners and individual clients.
  • Become a trusted advisor rather than simply preparing tax returns.
  • Work directly with experienced firm leadership.
  • Take ownership of a portfolio of clients and engagements.
  • Provide proactive tax planning and consulting—not just compliance.
  • Mentor and support other tax professionals.
  • Have a voice in improving processes and growing the practice.
  • Develop your career toward greater responsibility and potential ownership.
For the right individual, performance and long-term contribution can lead to an equity/ownership opportunity within the firm.

What You'll Do:
  • Prepare and review complex federal and state tax returns for individuals, corporations, S corporations, partnerships, trusts, and other entities.
  • Manage a portfolio of tax clients and serve as a primary point of contact.
  • Work directly with business owners and high-net-worth individuals on tax planning and consulting.
  • Research federal and state tax laws and provide practical recommendations.
  • Identify tax-saving opportunities and develop proactive planning strategies.
  • Review financial statements, accounting records, and tax workpapers for accuracy and compliance.
  • Respond to IRS and state tax notices and assist with audits and other tax matters.
  • Review the work of other tax professionals and provide guidance and mentoring.
  • Help identify ways to improve workflow, technology, and internal processes.
  • Work with firm leadership on client service and business development initiatives.

The Clients You'll Work With:
Our clients are primarily closely held businesses, entrepreneurs, business owners, and individuals who value having an experienced professional they can call when they need advice. You'll get to know the people behind the businesses—not just the tax file. That means your work can involve everything from annual tax compliance to entity structure, tax planning, business transactions, retirement considerations, and other financial decisions that affect your clients.

What We're Looking For:
We're looking for an experienced public accounting tax professional who wants to take the next step in responsibility and client service.
Ideal candidates will have:
  • 6+ years of recent public accounting experience with a strong tax focus.
  • CPA license or active pursuit of CPA licensure. Minimum Bachelor's degree.
  • Strong experience with individual, corporate, partnership, and S corporation tax returns.
  • Experience with tax planning and consulting for privately held businesses and/or high-net-worth individuals.
  • Experience reviewing tax work and providing guidance to other professionals.
  • Strong technical research and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent communication and client relationship skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple engagements and deadlines independently.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and tax/accounting software.
  • UltraTax and QuickBooks experience is a plus.

Compensation & Growth:
Base salary: $120,000–$150,000 annually
Plus:
  • Established client base.
  • Direct interaction with firm leadership.
  • Opportunity to mentor and develop other professionals.
  • Long-term career growth within an established and growing CPA firm. Excellent benefits package.

Why Join a Local CPA Firm?
If you've spent your career in a large accounting organization, you may be ready for something different. Here, your experience matters. You can develop genuine relationships with clients, have direct access to decision-makers, see the results of your work, and play a meaningful role in the future of the firm. We're looking for someone who wants to become an important part of the organization—not simply fill a position.

Interested but Not Sure This Is the Right Move?
That's okay. We welcome a confidential conversation before you apply. If you're curious about the clients, culture, compensation, leadership opportunity, or potential equity path, let's talk.
If you're an experienced tax professional looking for greater responsibility, stronger client relationships, and a long-term opportunity to grow with a firm, we'd like to hear from you.
