The posting

Corporate Tax Senior Associate Location: San Jose, California (Hybrid) Pay Rate: $101,000 – $129,030 per year

Position Overview Our client, a national professional services firm, is seeking a Corporate Tax Senior Associate for a hybrid, permanent position based in San Jose, California. The role sits within a corporate tax practice serving business clients across a range of industries. This is a strong step for a tax professional with a few busy seasons behind them who is ready for greater client contact and ownership of engagements.

Key Responsibilities

  • You will prepare and review federal and state corporate income tax returns, including consolidated and multistate filings, ensuring technical accuracy and appropriate documentation of positions taken
  • You will prepare tax provisions under ASC 740, including current and deferred computations, rate reconciliations, and supporting workpapers, and you will assist with the analysis of uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances
  • You will conduct technical research on federal, state, and local tax matters, document conclusions clearly with supporting authority, and prepare memoranda that a reviewer can follow and rely on without reconstructing your reasoning
  • You will work directly with clients on information requests, data gathering, and routine queries, support tax planning projects and quarterly estimates, respond to notices and examinations, and review the work of associates while providing the feedback that helps them improve
  • You will take ownership of specific engagement workstreams end to end, tracking your own budget against actual time, flagging scope changes early, and ensuring that deliverables reach the reviewer in a state that requires refinement rather than rework

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field is required
  • Prior corporate tax experience in public accounting is required, typically two or more busy seasons at associate level
  • You must have hands-on experience preparing corporate income tax returns and working knowledge of ASC 740 tax provision concepts, together with solid federal and multistate corporate tax technical grounding
  • Strong analytical and research skills are essential, along with clear written communication, advanced spreadsheet capability, and the organization to manage several client engagements against overlapping deadlines
  • The role follows a hybrid schedule based in San Jose, California

Preferred Qualifications

  • CPA licensure or active progress toward the CPA, or a Master of Taxation, is strongly preferred
  • Experience serving technology, life sciences, or venture-backed clients is particularly valuable in this market
  • Familiarity with tax software such as OneSource, GoSystem, or CorpTax is advantageous, as is exposure to international tax provisions, R&D credit studies, state apportionment analysis, or transaction-related tax work
  • Experience with fixed asset and depreciation analysis, transfer pricing documentation support, or tax credit work is advantageous
  • Candidates who have begun building direct client relationships and who show readiness to supervise associates will be well positioned for progression in this practice

Screening Questions

  • How many years of experience do you have relevant to this Corporate Tax Senior Associate role?
  • Do you hold any required licenses or certifications for this position?
  • Are you available to work fully remote?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
