About The Position

A growing, boutique advisory firm is seeking a Senior Tax Accountant to take ownership of its tax function in a highly flexible, client-focused environment. This is not a traditional public accounting role—there are no billable hour requirements, no rigid corporate structure, and no expectation of excessive busy-season workloads! The firm operates with a lean, collaborative team and emphasizes quality work, proactive planning, and strong client relationships over volume. This role is fully remote with occasional in-person meetings in Central Arkansas a few times per year. The schedule is flexible, with an expectation of general availability during core business hours, allowing for true work/life balance—including unlimited PTO that is actively supported and utilized. Hours are typically 9-4, with a target of 30-35 hrs a week!

Requirements

CPA required.
3–5+ years of tax experience, preferably within a public accounting environment.
Strong knowledge of Arkansas tax regulations.
Experience with small business clients and more complex individual returns.
Comfortable in a client-facing, advisory-driven role.

Responsibilities

Manage a portfolio of approximately 150–200 small businesses and complex individual tax returns (Schedule C, rentals, investments).
Lead client interactions via phone and Zoom, explaining tax positions, strategies, and outcomes in a clear, consultative manner.
Perform hands-on tax preparation and review, with final sign-off handled at the firm leadership level.
Partner with clients on proactive tax planning, including quarterly advisory conversations to minimize liabilities and avoid year-end surprises.
Apply strong knowledge of the Arkansas tax code to ensure compliance and provide tailored guidance.
Contribute to a high-touch client experience, balancing technical expertise with practical, real-world advice.
