Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role

Overhead Solutions Group is seeking an experienced Senior Tax Accountant / Accounting Supervisor to join our Norfolk, Virginia office. This is an in-person role for an accountant ready to take ownership of engagements, review staff work, manage tax deadlines, and oversee a portfolio of monthly accounting clients.

This is not a tax-preparation-only role. You will review tax returns, supervise and develop staff, review monthly financial reporting, communicate directly with clients, and make sure projects move from assignment through completion. The ideal candidate is technically strong, organized, and proactive, and is comfortable reviewing the work of others without needing step-by-step direction.

Who Thrives Here

We're looking for someone who can review, manage, and lead, not simply prepare assigned work. You should be comfortable taking a tax return, month-end close, reconciliation, or financial statement package from a staff accountant and deciding whether it is accurate, complete, properly supported, and ready to move forward.

We value professionals who spot problems, research solutions, communicate clearly, follow up with staff and clients, and take ownership of getting work done correctly and on time.

Compensation & Benefits

$80,000 – $100,000 per year, depending on experience, credentials, technical knowledge, and demonstrated ability to review work and supervise staff. Candidates with a CPA or EA, significant tax review experience, and prior supervisory experience may be considered toward the upper end of the range.
