A bit about us:
Our client is a full-service public accounting firm with deep roots in the Midwest, providing tax, accounting, and business consulting services to a diverse client base including closely held businesses, agribusiness, real estate, construction, healthcare, nonprofits, and professional services firms. With 83 professionals across 6 offices, the firm has built its reputation on a team-based advisory model, every client is served by the whole firm, not just one person. What sets this firm apart is its intentional focus on underserved markets. Rather than competing in saturated metro areas, they plant flags in communities where quality accounting advisory is genuinely hard to find and where strong client relationships are built to last. The firm is in active growth mode, with plans to reach 150-200 professionals over the next three years through organic growth and strategic acquisitions of smaller firms. This is a firm that knows where it's going.
Why join us?
- Flexible hybrid schedule: the firm trusts you to get the work done
- Real path to partnership: clearly defined and actively supported. Two tracks, both valued: whether you want to be a career-level technical expert or go all the way to partner, there's a place for you here
- Growth you can see: the firm is expanding, acquiring, and scaling; the people here now will shape what it looks like at 200
- Community-first footprint: offices in markets that need great CPAs, not looking to compete with the big firms, but looking to provide service where service is valued
- Entrepreneurial culture: leadership wants builders; if you have ideas about how to grow a practice, develop clients, or do things differently, they want to hear them
- Strong client engagement: this is a relationship firm; you'll know your clients and they'll know you
ABOUT THE ROLE
Our client is looking for a Tax Senior ready to take ownership of client engagements and grow their technical and advisory skills in a firm that genuinely invests in its people. This is a hands-on role with real client exposure -- not a back-office position.
Responsibilities:
- Prepare and review federal and state tax returns for individuals, partnerships, S-corps, and C-corps
- Research complex tax issues and communicate findings clearly to clients and management
- Assist with tax planning and consulting engagements
- Mentor and review work of junior staff
- Build and maintain strong client relationships
- Participate in business development and firm growth initiatives
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- CPA license or actively pursuing (CPA eligible strongly preferred)
- 2-4 years of public accounting tax experience
- Strong technical knowledge across entity types
- Client-facing experience and comfort with direct communication
- Eagerness to learn, grow, and serve clients at a high level

Entry Level Tax Senior Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level tax senior associate job?
Focus on building a foundation in tax compliance, federal and state return preparation, and accounting software like CCH or Thomson Reuters. Employers at this level look for candidates with relevant coursework, a CPA exam in progress, or internship experience at a public accounting firm. Tailoring your application to highlight tax-specific projects or client-facing work, even from a practicum, gives you a real edge.
Which companies hire entry level tax senior associates?
Companies hiring entry level tax senior associates right now include KPMG, Weaver, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from regional and national public accounting firms, corporate tax departments, and professional services organizations that actively develop junior talent through structured associate programs.
Are there remote entry level tax senior associate jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still favor on-site or hybrid arrangements for mentorship and training reasons. About 21% of entry level tax senior associate openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates open to flexible settings will find options alongside the traditional in-office positions that dominate at this stage.
Are these new grad tax senior associate jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior tax senior associate roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or co-op work in place of full-time history, or calls out that a CPA candidacy or relevant degree is sufficient to apply. If you are a new grad with tax coursework or a busy-season internship behind you, these roles are designed for candidates at exactly your stage.
Which industries hire the most entry level tax senior associates?
Entry Level tax senior associate roles concentrate in Accounting & Auditing, Consulting & Professional Services, and Technology & Software, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they maintain large, active tax functions that rely on a steady pipeline of junior associates to handle return preparation, compliance work, and client support under senior supervision.
