Job details

Job description

Not every tax role gives you direct access to partners, steady hours, and meaningful trust and estate work. This one does.

This well-respected CPA firm in the DC Metro area is hiring a Senior Associate or Manager with trust and estate experience. With offices in both VA and MD, they’ve built a consistent client base, and a reputation for quality work, without the burnout.

You’ll take the lead on fiduciary engagements: preparing and reviewing trust and estate returns, advising high-net-worth families, and handling related individual returns. If you like variety, there’s also scope to work with entity clients in real estate, construction, and professional services.

What makes it stand out:

  • Busy season that tops out at 60 hours, not endless nights
  • Steady workflow and realistic deadlines year-round
  • Direct mentorship and closer access to partners
  • A firm that invests in your growth, not just your billable hours

They’re looking for:

  • 3–5 years of tax experience
  • Strong trust and estate knowledge
  • CPA (or on the way there)
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and independent
  • A strong communicator who values long-term client relationships

What’s on offer:

  • Hybrid schedule
  • High-quality work in trusts, estates, and individual tax
  • CPA study support and exam reimbursement
  • A clear path to grow in a supportive, people-first environment

If you’re looking to deepen your trust and estate expertise while working somewhere that respects your time and supports your growth, this is worth exploring.
