About this role
About the Opportunity
We are partnering with an established, locally owned CPA firm in Fullerton, CA, seeking an experienced Senior Accountant to join its growing team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a public accounting professional who enjoys a combination of client accounting, bookkeeping, and tax and wants to build a long-term career with a smaller, collaborative firm.
Unlike many traditional public accounting environments, this firm offers manageable busy-season hours, direct client relationships, and the potential for future partnership.
Key Responsibilities
• Manage accounting and bookkeeping responsibilities for a diverse portfolio of business clients.
• Prepare and maintain financial records, reconciliations, and financial statements.
• Handle payroll tax filings, 1099 reporting, and related compliance requirements.
• Assist with individual, business, and trust tax return preparation.
• Support tax planning, projections, and compliance engagements.
• Communicate directly with clients regarding accounting and tax matters.
• Collaborate with partners and team members to ensure timely, accurate client deliverables.
• Take increasing ownership of client accounting engagements while developing additional tax expertise.
Qualifications
Required:
• Minimum 3 years of recent public accounting experience.
• Strong hands-on experience with bookkeeping, business accounting, and financial reporting.
• Working knowledge of individual and business taxation.
• Ability to independently manage client responsibilities and deadlines.
• Strong communication, organization, and client-service skills.
• Ability to work onsite in Fullerton, CA, five days per week.
• Must reside within approximately 25 miles of the office.
Preferred:
• 5–7 years of public accounting experience.
• Active CPA license or CPA candidate pursuing licensure.
• Experience with CCH Axcess; candidates with Lacerte or comparable tax software will also be considered.
• Experience with payroll tax returns, 1099s, and business/trust accounting.
• Interest in long-term professional growth and potential partnership.

About this listing
Published on Lever under the board identifier Ghj, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
