Who You Are
Who You Are

- You are a master of proactive communication: You anticipate tax liabilities before they occur and guide clients through complex decisions with clarity and authority.
- You lead with sincere candor: When a proposed investment or legal strategy is tax-inefficient, you address it directly, leveraging your fiduciary duty to guide the team toward the optimal outcome.
- You raise the bar for everyone: You naturally mentor junior staff and educate the broader firm on evolving tax laws to elevate the collective technical competence of Acorn.
- Required Credential(s): CPA, EA, or JD with valid PTINÂ
What You Will Do
- Prepare Federal and State tax returns for UHNW clients (1040s) and their respective entities (1041s, 1065s, 1120S).
- Design sophisticated tax-mitigation strategies for UHNW clients, including those navigating liquidity events or business sales.
- Serve as the definitive tax authority in joint meetings with estate attorneys and wealth managers to ensure plan alignment.
- Stay at the forefront of federal and state tax law shifts, proactively updating firm-wide strategies to protect client assets.
- Review and refine the tax returns and strategies executed by the junior team, ensuring all deliverables meet Acorn's high-performance standards.
How We Measure Success
- Measurably reduce the aggregate tax liability across your assigned cases through proactive architectural planning.
- Maintain exceptional satisfaction scores and retention rates by simplifying complex tax concepts into actionable results.
- Successfully conduct tax-reviews that increase the department's ability to service high-AUM clients without a linear increase in headcount.
