These services are offered exclusively to our niche of Chick-fil-A Operators and Support Staff and only in conjunction with comprehensive financial planning services. Our firm takes an ensemble approach, and we work together on all clients rather than siloed books of business.

This role will serve as the tax expert and coordinate all aspects of the tax relationship. This position is client facing, so the perfect candidate will have excellent communication skills, enjoy interacting and building client relationships and provide timely and high-quality deliverables that exceed client expectations. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that clients are receiving sound accounting and tax advice as well as accurate tax information. You will work in conjunction with the client service team to develop documents (whether in electronic or in paper form) for clients. You are part of a service team which includes Client Service Associates, Associate Advisors, Service Advisors and Lead Advisors. You are responsible for working alongside our advisors to construct detailed, effective accounting and tax information in a timely manner by using our firm’s chosen software applications. You and the advisors will work together to decide on the most appropriate solutions for each client. You oversee all accounting and bookkeeping tasks that need to be completed for each client.
