At Ramirez CPA Advisory (Ramirez Accounting Services, LLC), we believe great accounting is about more than numbers. It's about people, relationships, and helping businesses and individuals move forward with confidence.

We're an established, growing CPA firm in Austin, Texas, with a vision to make professional accounting and tax services more approachable, personal, and valuable to the communities we serve.

We're building a team of professionals who take pride in their work, support one another, and want to continue growing. Whether you're looking to strengthen your technical tax skills, pursue your EA or CPA, or eventually move into advisory services, we want to help you build a meaningful career.

We're looking for people who want to grow with us, not just work for us.

We're looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Tax Associate II who enjoys problem-solving, working with clients, and learning something new.

In this role, you'll do more than prepare tax returns. You'll develop relationships with clients, gain exposure to a variety of individuals and businesses, and work alongside experienced tax professionals who can help you advance your skills.

You'll have the independence to manage your work while having the support of a team that values collaboration, accuracy, and professional development.

• Prepare tax returns with confidence. Independently prepare individual and business federal and state tax returns, ensuring accuracy and compliance.

• Work directly with clients. Help clients gather information, answer routine tax questions, and better understand their tax obligations.

• Expand your technical knowledge. Research tax questions, identify potential issues, and work with senior team members on more challenging situations.

• Support business clients. Prepare sales tax returns, 1099s, and other compliance filings, including state registrations and business account closures.

• Deliver quality work. Review financial documents, reconcile information, and respond to review feedback to produce accurate, timely returns.

• Collaborate with your team. Work closely with Tax Seniors, Supervisors, and Managers to meet deadlines and create a positive client experience.

• Continue growing. Participate in training, stay current with tax law changes, and develop the technical and professional skills needed for the next stage of your career.

We believe experience, work ethic, and a willingness to learn can be just as valuable as a degree.

To qualify, you'll need either:

• An associate degree in accounting, finance, or a related field with at least 1 year of relevant tax experience; or

• At least 2 years of relevant tax preparation experience without a college degree.

You'll also need:

• A valid IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN).

• Experience preparing individual and business tax returns.

• Familiarity with professional tax preparation software.

• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.

• The ability to manage deadlines and communicate professionally with clients.

• A commitment to confidentiality, accuracy, and doing what's right.

Even better if you have:

• 3+ years of tax preparation experience.

• Experience with UltraTax, Canopy, or QuickBooks.

• An Enrolled Agent (EA) credential or plans to pursue one.

• Bilingual English and Spanish communication skills.

• An interest in tax planning, business advisory, or growing into a leadership role.

You don't need to check every preferred qualification. If you have a strong tax foundation and the motivation to keep learning, we'd love to hear from you.

A career with room to grow. We believe in developing talent from within. Our Tax Associate II position offers a clear path toward becoming a Senior Tax Associate, with opportunities to expand into advanced tax work, tax planning, and advisory services.

Professional development matters. We support continued learning and may sponsor approved professional training, courses, and certification programs to help you advance your career.

Flexibility that supports your work. We offer hybrid and in-person work arrangements, depending on business needs and role expectations.

A team that values people. We want to create an environment where employees feel comfortable asking questions, contributing ideas, and taking ownership of their work. We value professionalism without unnecessary formalities.

Meaningful client relationships. You'll work with real people and businesses, seeing firsthand how your work helps them make informed financial decisions.

Compensation that recognizes experience. We offer an hourly pay range of $23.17–$36.30, based on qualifications and experience, with eligibility for approved overtime.

• Full-time position based in Austin, Texas, with offices on Stassney Lane and Cesar Chavez Street.

• Hybrid or in-person work arrangements.

• Regular office operating hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

• Additional hours, including Saturdays and Sundays, may be required during tax seasons and filing deadlines, particularly January–April and September–October. Overtime requires advance approval.

We're growing, and we want our people to grow with us.

Your next step could be Senior Tax Associate, with opportunities to take on more complex engagements, strengthen your client advisory skills, mentor colleagues, and continue building your professional credentials.

We value people who take initiative, are accountable for their work, and genuinely care about the clients and colleagues they serve.

If you're looking for a CPA firm where your contributions matter, your development is encouraged, and you can build a long-term career, we'd love to meet you.
