Wink Tax Services Inc. is a growing Enrolled Agent firm in Troy, Michigan, serving individuals, businesses, estates, trusts, and nonprofits — across the U.S. and internationally.

If you're an EA or experienced tax professional tired of Big 4 busy seasons and assembly-line return prep, this is the seat: hands-on work across the full tax lifecycle, direct client ownership, and a firm built around the EA credential — including IRS and state representation work, not just compliance.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

• Own your clients end-to-end — preparation, planning, and resolution — not just one return type on a conveyor belt.
• Real representation practice: IRS and state notices, tax resolution, and taxpayer representation, using the full scope of your EA credential.
• Company-paid support toward Enrolled Agent certification and financial support toward CPA, plus extensive company-paid continuing education.
• Small, collaborative firm where good work gets noticed and responsibilities grow with you.
• Broad technical exposure: 1040s, 1065s, 1120/S, 1041s, 990s, 5500s, bookkeeping, payroll, and multistate filings.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Prepare federal, state, and local tax returns for individuals, businesses, estates, trusts, nonprofits, and retirement plans (Forms 1040, 1041, 1065, 1120, 1120-S, 5500, 990, and related state/local filings).
• Handle proactive tax planning and client tax questions.
• Perform bookkeeping and payroll services, including Forms 940/941 and state unemployment filings.
• Prepare financial statements and compilation-level work.
• Support IRS and state notice, tax-resolution, and representation matters (based on experience and licensing).
• Manage work papers and deadlines independently while working closely with the team.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of professional tax-preparation experience, ideally in public accounting.
• Public accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll experience.
• EA, CPA, or active candidate — or a firm commitment to pursue EA/CPA licensure (we'll sponsor you).
• Ability to prepare individual and business returns accurately and efficiently.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and a client-service mindset.
• Availability for additional hours during January–April tax season.
• This is an in-office position at our Troy, MI location.

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience with Thomson Reuters CS Professional Suite / UltraTax, QuickBooks, and Financial Cents.
• Trusts, estates, nonprofits, multi-state taxation, or tax-resolution experience.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Base salary $55,000–$70,000, based on experience, education, and credentials.
• Employer contribution toward medical, dental, and vision insurance, plus a Health Reimbursement Arrangement.
• Paid time off and paid holidays.
• Company-paid EA certification support and CPA financial support, plus extensive company-paid continuing education.
• Direct client responsibility, broad technical experience, and real advancement in a growing firm.
