• Stable and long-tenured team environment with strong retention and long-standing relationships internally and externally

Qualifications for the Tax Accounting Senior:
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting required; Master’s degree preferred

• Strong understanding of tax and accounting principles across corporations, partnerships, and trusts

This is an exceptional opportunity for a detail-focused and motivated Tax Accounting Senior to join a highly respected single-family office environment, gain exposure to complex and diverse tax matters, and work alongside a talented, collaborative team.
