Senior Tax Associate
Callow Consulting | Baltimore–Washington Area (100% Remote — U.S.)
$100,000–$150,000 Salary + Bonus + Full Benefits | Full-Time
This Isn’t Your Typical Tax Job
Most tax roles feel like factories.
You’re one of 40 preparers. Everything is siloed. You rarely speak with clients. You’re buried in basic 1040s, and no one trusts you to final-sign anything complex until you’ve been there for seven years.
Tax season is brutal, the off-season is slow, and “tax planning” is something only the Partners get to do.
We do the opposite.
Callow Consulting is a growing, full-service CPA firm specializing in individuals, professionals, estates and trusts, and small businesses. We’re looking for a
Senior Tax Associate
who is ready to own complex work from day one.
You’ll have the authority to
prepare and final-sign returns, represent clients before the IRS, review the work of others, and proactively identify tax-planning opportunities.
This is a true Senior role.
You won’t be micromanaged.
You’ll be trusted.
What You’ll Do
On a typical day, you will:
Prepare and
final-sign complex 1040s
, including multi-state returns, rentals, Schedule C, S-corporation, and partnership returns

Identify and execute
proactive tax-planning opportunities
, including:

Represent clients in
IRS audits, collections matters, Offers in Compromise (OIC), installment agreements, and penalty-abatement cases
Work directly with
high-net-worth individuals, business owners, trustees, and their attorneys
Explain the
“why” behind tax positions
, not simply the “how”
What We Need
These are
non-negotiable requirements
:
Active CPA license
2+ years of final sign-off authority
on 1040s and small-business returns
3+ years preparing and/or reviewing 100+ returns annually
, with full-cycle experience rather than seasonal-only preparation
Proven experience personally handling
IRS notices, audits, or collections cases
