Senior Tax Associate - Family Office

  • New York, New York, United States
  • Full-Time
  • Hybrid

Job Description:

Most Senior Tax roles have you preparing returns. This one puts you at the center of your clients' financial lives.

A highly respected wealth management and advisory firm is seeking a Senior Associate to join its New York team. This is far more than a traditional tax compliance position—you'll serve as a trusted advisor to high-net-worth individuals and families, working across tax planning, financial administration, business management, and complex financial matters.

If you enjoy building long-term client relationships and want exposure beyond tax returns, this is an opportunity to broaden your career while working with sophisticated clients and an experienced advisory team.

What you'll do:

  • Prepare and review complex individual, business, and fiduciary tax returns, including multi-state filings
  • Develop tax projections and planning strategies for high-net-worth clients
  • Respond to tax notices and assist with audits
  • Conduct tax research and support special projects
  • Review payroll tax filings and other information returns
  • Assist with business management, financial administration, and concierge-style financial services
  • Review financial statements, cash flow reports, budgets, and financial plans
  • Collaborate closely with attorneys, financial advisors, and other professionals supporting client needs
  • Build and maintain trusted client relationships while managing engagements from start to finish

What they're looking for:

  • 5–7 years of public accounting or wealth management tax experience
  • Strong experience serving high-net-worth individuals and family offices
  • Bachelor's degree in Accounting (Master's in Tax is a plus)
  • CPA preferred; CFP is a plus
  • Experience with CCH Axcess Tax and QuickBooks (Desktop & Online)
  • Strong communication skills and a client-first mindset

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys combining technical tax expertise with advisory work and wants to become an indispensable resource to a select group of high-net-worth clients.
