Tax Professional Jobs in Maryland: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax professional in Maryland?
Becoming a licensed tax professional in Maryland begins with earning a bachelor's degree with sufficient accounting coursework, then passing the Uniform CPA Examination and applying for licensure through the Maryland Board of Public Accountancy. The Board requires candidates to complete the education and experience requirements before a license is issued. Those pursuing a narrower tax preparer role without full CPA licensure can register as a Maryland Individual Tax Preparer through the Board and complete the required continuing education to maintain that registration.
How much do tax professionals make in Maryland?
Tax professionals in Maryland earn a median of about $47,020 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $37,700 for the lowest 10% to over $69,790 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire tax professionals in Maryland?
Employers hiring tax professionals in Maryland right now include H&R Block, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Maryland's concentration of federal contractors, financial institutions, and large healthcare organizations makes it one of the more active Mid-Atlantic markets for both in-house tax roles and public accounting positions at local and national CPA firms.
Which Maryland cities have the most tax professional jobs?
Arnold, Lavale, and Chester account for the largest share of tax professional openings in Maryland. Baltimore drives the most volume as the state's largest city and home to major financial institutions, healthcare systems, and regional accounting firms, while the Montgomery County and Prince George's County suburbs attract corporate and federal contractor tax roles because of their proximity to Washington D.C. headquarters and agency offices.
How can I get hired as a tax professional in Maryland with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a staff tax associate or junior tax preparer role at a regional CPA firm or a large employer's internal tax department. Baltimore-area firms and the Big Four offices in Bethesda and Baltimore actively recruit through campus programs targeting recent accounting graduates. Sitting for or passing the CPA exam, even without a full license in hand, signals commitment and accelerates hiring. Lateral candidates from bookkeeping, payroll, or accounts payable roles also make competitive applicants for entry-level tax positions at Maryland's healthcare systems and government contractors.
Where can I find and apply to tax professional jobs in Maryland?
