Senior Tax Accountant / Accounting Supervisor

Senior Tax Accountant / Accounting Supervisor

Company: Overhead Solutions Group

Employment Type: Full-time
Salary: $80,000 – $100,000 per year

About the Role

Overhead Solutions Group is seeking an experienced Senior Tax Accountant / Accounting Supervisor to join our Norfolk, Virginia office. This is an in-person role for an accountant ready to take ownership of engagements, review staff work, manage tax deadlines, and oversee a portfolio of monthly accounting clients.

This is not a tax-preparation-only role. You will review tax returns, supervise and develop staff, review monthly financial reporting, communicate directly with clients, and make sure projects move from assignment through completion. The ideal candidate is technically strong, organized, and proactive, and is comfortable reviewing the work of others without needing step-by-step direction.

• Review tax returns and supporting workpapers prepared by staff before final partner review

Staff Supervision & Engagement Management

• Review work prepared by staff accountants, provide clear review notes, and confirm corrections are completed


• Train and mentor staff on tax preparation, accounting procedures, documentation, and firm standards


• Help staff resolve technical accounting and tax questions


• Monitor engagement progress and proactively address delays or outstanding items


• Manage multiple client engagements at once, both during tax season and throughout the year


• Partner with firm leadership to improve quality, efficiency, and accountability

Who Thrives Here

We're looking for someone who can review, manage, and lead, not simply prepare assigned work.

We value professionals who spot problems, research solutions, communicate clearly, follow up with staff and clients, and take ownership of getting work done correctly and on time.

Compensation & Benefits

$80,000 – $100,000 per year, depending on experience, credentials, technical knowledge, and demonstrated ability to review work and supervise staff. Candidates with a CPA or EA, significant tax review experience, and prior supervisory experience may be considered toward the upper end of the range.
