Role description

From the employer

**Pay:** $95,000.00 - $150,000.00 per year

**Why This Is a Great Opportunity**

  • Build a brand-new tax support offering from the ground up and become the go-to person for a fast-growing national platform
  • Work directly with independent advisors and internal partners where your communication skills matter as much as your tax chops
  • Get real ownership and visibility while still having a team around you (CFPs, marketing support, legal partners, ops)
  • Grow your career in a role that can expand quickly as the service line scales nationwide
  • Competitive comp with upside based on impact and growth

**Location:** Hybrid in Arden Hills, MN with 1 remote day per week (with potential flexibility for the right person)

**Note:** Must have 3+ years of hands-on individual and or business tax experience (public accounting or in-house). Client-facing communication is required.

**About Our Client**

Our client is a national financial services platform supporting independent advisors and agents across the country. They combine asset management, marketing support, and in-house planning resources to help producers grow and better serve clients — and theyre investing in expanding tax support as a key part of that mission.

**Job Description**

  • Help launch and grow a centralized tax support function serving advisors and their end clients
  • Prepare and review individual and business tax returns and support planning conversations (as appropriate for your background)
  • Partner closely with advisors, internal teams, and marketing to deliver a high-touch service experience
  • Gather and organize client information, clarify open items, and translate complex tax topics into plain-English guidance
  • Improve workflows, templates, and processes as the new tax service line scales
  • Leverage tax technology tools (they recently transitioned to CCH) and help drive adoption and efficiency
  • Support compliance, documentation, and timely filing while maintaining a strong client experience

**Qualifications**

  • 3+ years of experience in individual and or business tax (1040, 1065, 1120, 1120S experience helpful)
  • Comfortable being client-facing and partnering with non-tax stakeholders (advisors, producers, internal teams)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with a service mindset
  • Tech-forward and interested in modern tax workflows (CCH experience is a plus)
  • CPA or EA is strongly preferred, but not required if experience is strong

**Why You Will Love Working Here**

Youll join a growth-minded team that values communication, initiative, and relationship-building. This is not a back-office tax role — its an opportunity to help shape a new offering, influence how it runs, and build a reputation as a trusted partner to advisors and internal leadership.
