OA Reference: CPA

  • $85,000 to $100,000
  • Seattle, 98188

Full-Time, In-Office | Monday-Friday 8 AM–5 PM (Tax Season Flexibility Needed)

Tired of the grind at big CPA firms? Ready for a role where your expertise is respected, your work-life balance matters, and you’re part of a tight-knit, fast-paced team with a sense of humor?

Step into a dynamic Tax Accountant role based in Tukwila, where your skills prepare taxes for individuals, businesses, and state excise, while you enjoy great benefits and a supportive, no-nonsense office culture.

Why You’ll Love This Role
! No crazy hours… usually. Standard workweek with some tax season flexibility—so you can plan your life outside the office.

! Work with real humans. A small, 5-10 person team with an open-door policy and thick skin. We take feedback seriously but keep it light.

! Be the go-to expert. Manage your own clients and own your work—show your mastery and build strong client relationships.

! Benefits that matter. Company-paid medical, dental, vision, life insurance, long-term disability, plus 2 weeks PTO and 7 paid holidays.

! Dress the part. Business attire keeps things polished and professional every day.

What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting with CPA or EA credential (minimum).
- 2+ years tax preparation experience (individual, business, and state excise tax).
- QuickBooks guru (desktop & online)—or ready to learn fast.
- Top-notch communication and client service skills.
- Detail-oriented, organized, and able to juggle multiple deadlines with ease.
- Someone who can pass a background and credit check and is comfortable signing NDA/non-solicitation agreements.

What You’ll Do
* Prepare tax returns for a diverse client base—individuals, businesses, and state excise compliance.
* Be the primary point of contact for your clients, building trust and delivering expert guidance.
* Review and assist clients with QuickBooks records and account reconciliations.
* Thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume environment where your knowledge and efficiency shine.

Ready to ditch the burnout and step into a role that values your skills AND your sanity? Apply now and join a team that balances serious work with a good laugh.
