- Mentoring and reviewing the work of junior and intermediate accountants
- Staying ahead of tax law changes and translating them into practical advice for clients
- Working closely with the partners on client strategy, business advisory matters and firm improvement initiatives
- Identifying opportunities to grow client accounts and strengthen relationships
