About the Role

This Senior Income Tax Accountant position offers you the chance to step into a leadership-oriented role, working directly with the Tax Director on sophisticated tax matters for a family-owned business spanning industries such as oil and gas, ranching, trucking, and banking.

Partner with Accounting and Treasury departments to gather information for tax filings, cash flow projections, and audits.
Mentor tax accountants and help foster a collaborative and high-performing team environment.
Lead correspondence with federal and state tax authorities, resolving notices and facilitating audits.
Identify and implement opportunities to improve tax accounting and reporting processes.
Stay updated on changes in tax law and maintain compliance through continuing education.

Why Join Our Client?

This role is perfect for tax professionals seeking to leave the CPA firm world behind while still engaging in challenging, high-level work. You’ll enjoy ownership of your projects, exposure to diverse industries, and the stability of a long-established, family-owned business. This is a rare opportunity to bring your CPA firm expertise to an in-house environment where your contributions directly impact the organization’s success.

We want to hear from you if you have:

A bachelor’s degree in accounting or a related field, with at least eight years of tax accounting experience.
A current CPA license.
Extensive experience preparing and reviewing complex tax returns across diverse industries.
