Tax Professional Jobs in Pennsylvania: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a tax professional in Pennsylvania?
The most common path is earning a bachelor's degree in accounting and passing the CPA exam to obtain licensure through the Pennsylvania State Board of Accountancy, which oversees CPA certification in the state. Candidates must meet Pennsylvania's education and experience requirements before the license is issued. Enrolled Agent (EA) status granted by the IRS is another recognized credential that allows you to represent clients and prepares taxes professionally without a state CPA license.

Tax professionals in Pennsylvania earn a median of about $61,270 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $31,200 for the lowest 10% to over $103,570 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire tax professionals in Pennsylvania?
Employers hiring tax professionals in Pennsylvania right now include H&R Block, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Pennsylvania's dense concentration of regional accounting firms, Fortune 500 corporate headquarters, and large financial institutions in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh means consistent openings across both public accounting and in-house corporate tax roles.
Which Pennsylvania cities have the most tax professional jobs?
Erie, Etna, and Kane account for the largest share of tax professional openings in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia drives volume through its concentration of Big Four offices, mid-size regional firms, and major financial services employers, while Pittsburgh's corporate headquarters and healthcare anchors generate steady in-house tax demand, and Harrisburg draws openings tied to state government contractors and regional accounting practices.
How can I get hired as a tax professional in Pennsylvania with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a seasonal or part-time tax preparer role at a regional accounting firm or a national tax preparation company operating in Pennsylvania, where no CPA license is required to start. Large Philadelphia and Pittsburgh firms regularly hire accounting graduates for staff tax associate positions focused on compliance and return preparation.
