Tax Professional Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a tax professional in Texas?

Most tax professional roles in Texas require at least a bachelor's degree in accounting or finance, and many employers expect or require a CPA license. The Texas State Board of Public Accountancy oversees CPA licensure in the state, which involves passing the Uniform CPA Exam and meeting Texas-specific education and experience requirements. Roles in corporate tax often expect a master's degree in taxation or accounting as well.

How much do tax professionals make in Texas?

Tax professionals 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 professionals in Texas?

Employers hiring tax professionals in Texas right now include KPMG, Alvarez & Marsal, and EisnerAmper, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, large energy companies, and major public accounting offices makes it one of the deepest markets in the country for tax talent at every level.

Which Texas cities have the most tax professional jobs?

Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most tax professional openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense cluster of energy sector headquarters and large regional offices of the Big Four firms, Dallas draws heavily from financial services, technology, and retail corporate headquarters, and Austin's rapid growth in tech and venture-backed companies has created consistent demand for in-house and advisory tax talent.

Are there remote tax professional jobs in Texas?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 21% of tax professional openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the desk-based and document-driven nature of tax work. Roles focused on research, compliance review, and return preparation tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions involving close collaboration with finance or legal teams more often require in-office presence.

How can I get hired as a tax professional in Texas with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through a public accounting internship or associate program at one of the large Texas offices of firms like Deloitte, KPMG, or Grant Thornton, which run structured new-graduate hiring cycles out of Houston and Dallas. Candidates without direct tax experience often transition from adjacent roles in bookkeeping, accounts payable, or financial analysis. Earning the Enrolled Agent credential or completing the CPA exam sections early signals commitment and gives Texas hiring managers a concrete reason to take a chance on a less-experienced candidate.

Where can I find and apply to tax professional jobs in Texas?

You can find and apply to tax professional jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly.
