About Talley

Talley, LLP, along with its affiliated entities—Talley Law Group (TLG), Talley Capital Group (TCG), and Talley Wealth, LLC is a full-service financial, tax, legal, and consulting firm dedicated to serving entrepreneurially driven businesses, high-net-worth individuals, and professional athletes.

Unlike traditional accounting firms, we operate as business partners, not just service providers. Our mission is to go beyond compliance—helping clients maximize profitability, navigate complex financial landscapes, and achieve long-term success.

Our Commitment to Clients

Since our founding in 1989, we have built a reputation for being our clients’ Most Trusted Advisor (MTA) by delivering tailored, forward-thinking solutions that address both challenges and opportunities. We embrace an entrepreneurial mindset that drives innovation, problem-solving, and strategic growth for our clients.

Our Services

  • Audit & Assurance – Traditional financial reporting with a strategic approach
  • Tax Compliance & Planning – Proactive, expert tax strategies tailored to client needs

As a boutique firm with over 50 U.S.-based professionals and 20-30  offshore / outsourced  team members, we have expanded rapidly, becoming one of Orange County’s leading professional service firms.

We embrace a hybrid work culture that balances flexibility with our commitment to exceptional client service. Our professionals thrive in an environment where accountability, results, and collaboration are key drivers of success.

The tax staff will interact with various service departments and the administration team. This position involves direct client interaction throughout the year and offers the opportunity to quickly advance to a Client Service Manager (CSM) role. As a CSM, you will develop and implement tax services for clients and identify additional ways to assist with their needs.
