Senior Tax Associate | CPA Firm | Hybrid | $90,000 – $120,000 | Woodland Hills, CA
Accountancy is often seen as a game of rules and numbers. But in truth, the best firms know it’s about people, trust, and how you feel at the end of a working day. If you’d rather not trade your evenings and weekends for “busy season survival stories,” this role may be worth your attention.
This Woodland Hills firm has managed to do something quite rare: it combines the credibility and resources of a larger practice with the humanity, flexibility, and personality of a mid-sized team. The result? Work that’s challenging without being soul-crushing, and colleagues you’ll actually want to spend time with.
Why CPAs enjoy working here (beyond the paycheck):
- Hybrid that genuinely works: the office when it’s useful, home when it isn’t
- Mentorship from leaders who remember what it was like to be in your shoes
- Modern systems that reduce faff, not add to it
- A client base that keeps things interesting: high-net-worth individuals, partnerships, multi-entity groups, real estate, professional services, and tech
What you’ll actually do:
- Lead tax engagements that go beyond the routine
- Shape and mentor the next wave of CPAs (without endless red tape)
- Build client relationships where you’re seen as an advisor, not just a form-filler
- Get stuck into real complexity: multi-entity, partnerships, S Corps, and HNW tax planning
What’s in it for you:
- $90,000 – $120,000 base
- A clear, visible path to leadership
- Benefits you don’t have to squint at to see the value (medical, dental, 401k, PTO)
- A hybrid work rhythm that leaves room for your actual life
- A stable, collaborative culture where people stay because they want to
Who you are:
- 4+ years of public accounting tax experience
- CPA license in hand
- Confident with S Corps, partnerships, individuals, and complex multi-entity returns
- Ready to lead or eager to grow into it
- Based in Southern California
The real attraction here isn’t just the work, it’s the fact that your contribution is visible, valued, and has an impact. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to work somewhere that balances ambition with sanity, this is it.
