Tired of looking backward for a living?

Most tax jobs mean grinding through returns from January to April and waiting around the rest of the year. We’re building something different.

Squires Tax Planning is a fast-growing tax planning and advisory firm in Columbia, Missouri, serving business owners and real estate investors nationwide. For 12 years, our clients have come to us for proactive, year-round tax strategy, not once-a-year compliance. We’re investing in AI and systems so the work is smarter, not just harder, and we’re looking for an EA or CPA who wants to do real advisory work.

Location: 200 E Southampton Dr, Suite 101, Columbia, MO 65203

What You’ll Do

Work directly with business owners and real estate investors on proactive tax planning and strategy
Review and deliver tax strategy on individual and business returns, including 1040s with Schedule C, 1065s, 1120s, 1120-S returns and multi-state filings
Explain complex strategies in plain English and help clients put them into action
Support IRS representation work
Coordinate with the team through Monday.com and keep clean notes. We run on systems, not chaos.

What Tax Season Looks Like Here
It’s busy and focused, but it runs on systems, not heroics. AI does the first pass on returns, our advisors review them and deliver the strategy, and the team stays coordinated through Monday.com and virtual meetings. We’re also moving prep work to support contractors, so our team spends more of its time on planning and advisory.

Where You Can Grow
We’re a small team, so you’ll get real responsibility early and direct access to our founder. Advisors who prove themselves can move into management, with real ownership opportunities for the right person.

Active EA or CPA
At least 2 tax seasons of experience
Tax planning and strategy experience (required)
Bachelor’s degree
Experience with multi-state returns and business-owner clients preferred

Comfortable with AI tools and a systems-driven workflow
A self-starter who’s coachable and direct, takes ownership, and can handle honest feedback

You’ll Fit Here If
You like helping business owners win, you want to learn tax strategy instead of just cranking out returns, and you take integrity seriously. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t wait to be told what to do.

What We Offer

70,000–120,000 salary, based on experience
Performance-based incentives and bonuses
