Senior Tax Accountant – Hybrid (Yarmouth or Plymouth, MA) or remote.
Some CPA firms talk about work-life balance. This one actually delivers.
As the managing partner puts it: “We work hard to manage bringing work in at desired times and setting expectations with our clients, so we can work easy during busy season.”
And it shows. Most of the team averaged just over 50 hours at peak, and by April 10th, tax season was wrapped. No 70+ hour weeks, no burnout. Just smart scheduling and realistic expectations.
They’re now looking to add another tax accountant to the team. Someone who wants to roll up their sleeves, work closely with business owners, and either review now, or grow into more client-facing and review responsibilities over time.
Why you’ll love it here:
– Manageable hours: A week or two in the 60s, but otherwise c51 hours in peak season.
– Hybrid setup: Ideally hybrid from their Yarmouth or Plymouth office, but they are open to a remote arrangement with ad hoc office visits.
– Summer Fridays: Office closes early June through August.
– Growth with no ceiling: Still a young and growing practice, no tax manager or director layer. If you want to build your career here, there’s space to do it.
– Culture: Professional, but light. More laughter than tears, no cliques or egos. Regular happy hours and team dinners.
The role:
– Work with closely held businesses (clients typically $2–6M revenue) and their owners.
– Handle a mix of entity and individual tax returns (roughly 50/50).
– Grow into review responsibilities so partners can step back from tax review.
– Be part of a generalist practice: real estate, construction, professional services, and more.
– Plymouth office is smaller and more independent; Yarmouth is the larger hub.
What they’re looking for:
– A well-rounded tax accountant with a few years in public accounting.
– Someone comfortable with business owner clients and an entrepreneurial pace.
– A generalist mindset, happy to handle both entity and individual returns.
– Audit exposure is a plus, but not required.
– Hybrid preferred, but for the right person, remote could work (if not your first remote role).
The tools: UltraTax, Doc.It, QuickBooks.
If you’re looking for a firm where your work makes an impact, where growth is based on merit, and where busy season doesn’t take over your life, this could be the right fit.
