Job Description - Senior Tax Associate

Who We Are
Willis Johnson & Associates is a fast-paced wealth management firm where tax is not a back-office function, it’s a core part of the client experience. Our clients rely on us not only for technical accuracy, but for clarity, responsiveness, and trusted guidance across many moving pieces.

We work hard, move quickly, and manage a high volume of relationships. The work is engaging, challenging, and never boring. If you love tax, enjoy solving complex problems, and genuinely like working with people, you’ll feel energized here.

If you prefer slow, highly siloed, or purely transactional tax work, this will not be the right fit.

The Opportunity
We are seeking a Certified Public Accountant with 3 – 5 years in public accounting who thrives in a relationship-driven, high-velocity environment and is genuinely energized by the technical side of tax. This role requires strong judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the ability to move quickly while maintaining high standards.

If you love staying current on tax law and enjoy digging into tax research, you will find this role especially rewarding. You’ll have the opportunity to work with an international clientele and engage in U.S. reporting of foreign assets, adding depth and variety to your work beyond traditional domestic tax compliance.

You will play a key role in tax compliance, review, and extensive tax planning, working closely with our wealth management team to deliver proactive, integrated advice. This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to continuously learn, apply that knowledge in real time, and be part of a collaborative advisory team—not just execute returns.
