Talent Acquisition Consultant at Distinct Recruitment Most job ads for tax accountants read like instruction manuals: prepare, review, repeat. But the real reason you’ll stay in a role or run from it has very little to do with the tax code and everything to do with the people you work alongside.

This Burbank‑based CPA practice understands that. They’ve built a culture where collaboration isn’t a buzzword, it’s how things actually get done. It’s a team that values conversation as much as calculation, and professional curiosity as much as precision.

Responsibilities You’ll be joining a close‑knit firm with decades of loyal clients and a portfolio that keeps the work interesting, including real estate, professional services, entertainment, and high‑net‑worth individuals who actually enjoy working with their accountants.

Why this might be worth your attention

Hybrid setup: typically 2–3 days working from home each week

They believe great tax work comes from clarity and communication, not chaos

You’ll have real influence on how things are done, not just what gets filed

The partners are engaged, approachable, and have zero appetite for micromanagement

What they’re looking for

5+ years in public accounting with a solid grounding in individual, partnership, and corporate returns

CPA license (or close to it) preferred

Strong communicator who enjoys building client relationships, not just managing deliverables Lacerte experience a plus, but not essential

Someone who sees tax not just as compliance, but as conversation that helps clients make better financial decisions
