Job Description:
Job postings are funny. -
Generally, they are a ridiculous wish list full of sales pitches,
empty promises, and other non-specific jargon. How can you really
determine the actual day-to-day responsibilities, culture, and the
total compensation package? It starts with being honest, so here we
go. -Real talk. -We are looking for exceptionally bright,
hard-working, and self-motivated Tax Staff to join our team.
Initially, you will be involved with tax compliance and accounting
projects for our entity and individual clients. This may include
participating in pre-busy season planning, gathering information,
setting up files, entering data, preparing tax calculations,
drafting returns for review, participating in tax research, audit
representation, and other technical projects as well as entering
accounting transactions, performing bank reconciliations, and
proposing adjusting journal entries as necessary. In some cases,
you may enter inventory, payroll, and tax related transactions.We
want our new team member to be excited about being at a growing and
developing firm. If you want the same day to day responsibilities
with the expectation you can predict what is needed of you
tomorrow, next week, next month, this may not be the right fit. To
excel at our firm and to find lasting satisfaction in doing so, you
will exhibit these qualities:
- Organized. -You know how to keep track of multiple projects,
tasks, documents, and files, follow up on loose ends, and can
readily locate a document or provide a status update.
- Communicative. -You are a confident and transparent
communicator in every aspect with expert written, verbal, and
interpersonal communication skills.
- Self-motivated. -You don't need to be told to get things done
and are confident in your ability to do some research to find an
answer rather than simply asking for it.
- Accountable. -You understand that we're all human and you are
not afraid to own up to your mistakes, which you use as an
opportunity to learn and grow.
- Proactive. -You're always one step ahead because you're an
analytical thinker and can anticipate potential problems and needs,
allowing you to be more efficient and provide better solutions.
-
- Detail-oriented. -You have impeccable documentation skills, a
sharp eye, and never let anything slip through the cracks. -
- Flexible. -You embrace change and are easily adaptable in a
challenging, fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and enjoy
learning new things.
- Service-minded. -You demonstrate a desire to deliver a superior
customer experience and you don't mind taking out the trash, both
literally and figuratively.
- Enthusiastic. -You are a team player with a positive attitude
who can take the work seriously but do it with a sense of
humor.
- Above all else - -HUSTLE. -We enjoy working hard and reaping
the benefits ("work hard play hard" is overused and cliche). Let's
acknowledge -that public accounting is not an easy field, but it
can be thoroughly enjoyable and challenging. -Required
