Tax Accountant Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax accountant in Texas?
To work as a tax accountant in Texas, you need at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, and most positions strongly prefer or require a CPA license issued by the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy. The Texas CPA path requires completing the required semester hours in accounting and business, passing the Uniform CPA Exam, and meeting the experience requirement supervised by a licensed CPA before licensure is granted.
How much do tax accountants make in Texas?
Tax accountants in Texas earn a median of about $47,460 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $31,110 for the lowest 10% to over $86,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire tax accountants in Texas?
Employers hiring tax accountants in Texas right now include KPMG, WEAVER, and Goldman Sachs, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's large concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, energy companies, and regional public accounting firms creates steady demand across both corporate in-house and public accounting roles.
Which Texas cities have the most tax accountant jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most tax accountant openings in Texas. Houston's dominance reflects its deep energy sector and the concentration of oil and gas corporate headquarters there, while Dallas draws volume from financial services, private equity, and large CPA firm offices, and Austin's growth in technology and venture-backed companies has steadily added corporate tax roles.
Are there remote tax accountant jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields, since tax accounting is largely research, analysis, and software-based work that translates well to remote settings. About 21% of tax accountant openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how broadly employers have adopted flexible arrangements for this role. Corporate tax compliance and individual tax preparation tend to be the most commonly remote sub-areas.
How can I get hired as a tax accountant in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a staff accountant or tax associate role at a regional Texas CPA firm, where public accounting firms in Houston, Dallas, and Austin regularly hire new graduates into structured training programs. Firms like BDO and Grant Thornton run new-grad programs out of their Texas offices, and roles such as bookkeeper or accounting clerk at Texas-based corporations often serve as stepping stones. Completing the CPA Exam sections while in an entry role signals commitment and improves hiring prospects significantly.
Where can I find and apply to tax accountant jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to tax accountant jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers actively hiring. Find roles that fit your experience and specialty and apply directly through each listing.
