Launch your accounting career where learning meets impact!

AAFCPAs is an independent member of PrimeGlobal, the fourth largest CPA firm association in the world with 300+ member firms in 80+ countries. This provides our clients with seamless national and global coverage along with an advantageous pay-as-you-use model.

Just finished your degree and ready to put all that hard work into practice? As a Staff Accountant on our Tax Team, you’ll be helping real clients and grow your confidence one return at a time.

We know tax might sound serious (and it is), but it’s also dynamic, team-driven, and full of opportunities to learn, grow, and have fun while you do it.

What You’ll Do:

  • Work side-by-side with teammates to prepare tax returns for a variety of individuals and businesses.
  • Analyze financial information and tax documents to identify issues, research tax questions, and connect the dots.
  • Build your tax knowledge through hands-on experience, ongoing training, and mentorship from experienced tax professionals.
  • Develop your technical skills using platforms such as Excel, CCH Axcess Tax, Engagement, and other tax software.
  • Prepare accurate, high-quality work while meeting deadlines and following professional and industry standards.

What We’re Looking For:

  • A Bachelor’s in Accounting (Master’s = bonus points).
  • Strong communication skills (Writing and Speaking).
  • Tech-savvy with tools such as Excel & Word.
  • A curious, motivated learner who’s ready to roll up their sleeves.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Learning never stops. We’ll coach, mentor, and challenge you (in a good way).
  • Team environment. Collaboration, not competition—we win together.
  • Room to grow. Each engagement brings new responsibilities and skills.
  • Work that matters. Clients count on us to deliver high-quality results, and you’ll see the difference you make.

If you’re ready to start a dynamic career in public accounting, we want to meet you!

**Please note that while this position is remote, occasional travel to client locations, corporate meetings and trainings may be required to facilitate effective collaboration and engagement implementation.

At AAFCPAs, it is uncommon for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range, as compensation decisions are based on each candidate’s specific background and circumstances. A reasonable estimate of the current salary range for this role is $77,500.00 – $79,500.00 per year.

**Flexibility that Grows with You: After completing a comprehensive one-year training period of hybrid work, you’ll have the opportunity to transition into a remote work setup.
