The opportunity

An established public accounting firm is looking for a Tax Supervisor to bridge the gap between senior-level preparation and full management responsibility. You’ll oversee a team of seniors and staff, review a high volume of returns, and serve as a key contact for clients. It’s a strong fit for a tax professional who has outgrown the senior role and wants to build the review, leadership, and client advisory skills needed to move into management.

What your days will look like

Most of your time will go toward reviewing federal and state returns for individuals, partnerships, S corporations, C corporations, and other entities, and making sure they’re accurate, well documented, and filed on time. You’ll assign work, monitor workloads across the team, and keep engagements on track during busy season and extension periods. You’ll also be the person staff and seniors turn to with technical questions, so you’ll spend time researching issues and coaching others through them.

On the client side, you’ll communicate directly with clients about their returns, answer questions, and flag planning opportunities to the manager or partner for follow-up. As you grow into the role, you’ll take on more of those conversations yourself.

Who we think will succeed

You likely have a bachelor’s/masters degree in accounting a CPA license (or are close to completing it). You’ve spent several years (4-7) in public accounting tax, have prepared and reviewed both individual and business returns, and have started supervising or mentoring others, formally or informally. You’re comfortable with tax software and research tools, you communicate clearly, and you stay organized when several deadlines land at once. Most importantly, you want to move toward management and are ready to be held to that standard.

What comes with the job

The firm offers comprehensive health benefits, a 401(k) with retirement benefits, paid time off and holidays. There’s a path for growth for supervisors who develop their review and client skills, along with regular access to firm leadership.
