Job description

Overview

Senior Tax Accountant | $90,000 – $125,000 | Hybrid | San Francisco, CA

Most job ads for tax accountants read like a grocery list of forms and deadlines. But the real differentiator isn’t what you file, it’s the environment you do it in. This San Francisco CPA firm has struck the balance many talk about but few achieve : sophisticated work without the corporate grind. You’ll collaborate with entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and closely held businesses across industries like real estate, professional services, and investment partnerships. The work is complex enough to stay interesting, but the culture keeps things human.

Base pay range

$90,000.00 / yr - $125,000.00 / yr

Why this role stands out

  • Hybrid setup : in-office collaboration when it matters, flexibility when it doesn’t
  • Busy season hours that are demanding, not destructive (around 50 per week)
  • Partners who are genuinely accessible and not distant figureheads
  • A client base that values long-term advisory, not just transactional compliance

What they’re looking for

  • 5+ years of public accounting tax experience
  • Solid knowledge of individuals, partnerships, and corporations (trusts / estates a plus)
  • CPA licensed (or actively pursuing)
  • Comfortable reviewing work, mentoring staff, and taking ownership of client relationships
  • Someone who wants to grow into a long-term role with visibility and impact
  • This is hybrid by design, expect to spend part of the week in the San Francisco office, with the rest managed on your terms.

    If you’re tired of being just another cog, this could be your chance to do meaningful work, with people who notice.

    If you’d like to know more about this position, just hit the apply button and I’ll be in touch. If you’re browsing and your resume hasn’t been updated in ages, no problem! Give me a call or connect with me on LinkedIn (Jamie Egglenton at Distinct North America), and we’ll take it from there.

    If you’re hesitating because you don’t tick every box, apply anyway. We support CPA firms in building diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplaces. And if this role isn’t the one, the next one might be.
