Are you a tax professional who takes pride in doing exceptional work but keeps hitting walls at firms that don’t give you the tools, support, or environment to actually do it?
At WG, our tax department is different. Our tax managers don’t spend their days putting out fires or cleaning up after undertrained staff. They do real, complex, advisory-level work — with a team held to the same high standards, processes that actually work, and leadership that’s always looking for smarter ways to do things.
We’re on a mission to improve the public accounting experience — to be the Michelin-Star Restaurant of public accounting: exceptional and worth the wait. If you believe great tax work is more than checking boxes and filing volume, and you want a firm that believes that too, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

- Prepare/review federal and state corporate, individual, and partnership tax returns, including exercising professional judgment with respect to issue identification to develop solutions to tax issues in returns
- Research tax issues and legislation, and interpret tax code
- Make projections on future tax liabilities based on variable options to make client recommendations as part of the tax planning process
- Interact with client personnel regarding tax return information, deadlines, etc., and keep the team informed on status
- Look for opportunities to provide additional services to clients
- Keep current on professional announcements and proactively participate in professional development opportunities
- Initiate and develop a relationship with appropriate levels of the clientʼs management team
- Provide training to co-workers on technical accounting areas or areas of tax expertise
