About Stoller CPA:
Stoller CPA is an 8-person firm in Encino, including 4 CPAs, and we've been in business for over 10 years. All of our CPAs came from larger firms. We built this practice to keep the quality of work and drop what we didn't like: the long hours, the administrative busywork, and the lack of flexibility. Our clients stay with us because we do great work and we're responsive, and our reputation reflects that.
About the Role:
We're looking for a Tax Associate with 1-3 years of experience who wants broader exposure than a larger firm typically offers. Our clients are mostly small and mid-sized businesses, primarily S corporations and partnerships, with some C corporations, trusts, and related individual returns.
You'll work closely with our CPAs on every engagement, from the general ledger through the final return. As you develop, there's room to grow into a Senior role and beyond.
Required Knowledge, Skills and Experience:
- Prepare Individual, S corporation, partnership , and C corporation income tax returns
- Review client general ledgers, reconcile accounts, and propose adjusting entries
- Prepare extensions, estimated payments, and year-end projections.
- Follow up with clients by phone and email on missing information
- Clear review comments and learn from feedback on each file
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in accounting
- 1-3 years of tax experience at a national or large regional CPA firm
- Experience preparing S corporation and Individual income tax returns
- Comfortable working in a GL and cleaning up books
- CPA License or pursuing CPA licensure
Who Does Well Here
You care about getting it right and take ownership of your files. You ask questions when something doesn't look right and want to understand the why behind the return. You value your time outside the office, as do we.
What We Offer
- Hybrid or in-office schedule, your choice
- Limited overtime. We're generally done with busy season overtime 1-2 weeks before deadlines
- Bonuses twice a year, after each tax season
- Unlimited PTO
- Health insurance
- 401(k) match plus discretionary profit sharing
- Hands-on work directly with the firm's CPAs
