Senior Tax Accountant (Walnut Creek)

Robert Half, Walnut Creek, CA, United States


Senior Tax Accountant – Partnership Track

East Bay | Hybrid (3/2 possible)

This one’s for the tax pros who

don’t

want to grind forever with no endgame.
A well‑established, highly respected CPA firm in the East Bay is hiring a Senior Tax Accountant to step into a true succession role. The founder is transitioning out over time and personally handling client introductions and handoff — this is not a “figure it out yourself” situation.

Why this role is different: Clear partnership / equity track
Established, loyal client base (HNW individuals, real estate, medical, small businesses)
Hands‑on transition with the current owner
Performance‑driven bonus + profit potential
You get autonomy, influence, and a real seat at the table

Who this is ideal for:
Active CPA
~10–15+ years of tax experience
Strong with complex individual + entity returns
Comfortable owning client relationships end‑to‑end
Someone who wants to build, lead, and eventually own

Compensation:
$185K–$250K base (flex for the right person) + incentives
Partnership upside being finalized

If you’ve ever thought:
“I want to run a firm, not just work at one”


this is worth a conversation.

Message me directly and I’ll follow up.
