- 2+ years of public accounting preparing 1120-S, 1065 and 1040 returns
- Experience reviewing other preparers' work is a plus
- You can explain a K-1 to a roofer in plain English

Benefits:
- Client retention bonus. On the first call we'll show you exactly how it's paid and how many owners you'd work with15 days of paid time off plus holidays
- A tax free monthly health insurance allowance. You pick your own plan
- The lead tax seat from day one and a clear path to running your own team
