Explore Your Opportunities

Moss Adams offers opportunities to build your expertise and grow your career in assurance, tax, consulting, and wealth management. Where will you grow?

Assurance

Assurance services are more than an examination of a company's business—they’re an opportunity to take a global view of an organization, evaluating a company’s overall financial and operational performance to help solve complex business challenges.

As part of the assurance team, you’ll gain experience performing the following services:

  • Conduct engagement planning, process and controls testing, audit procedures, analytical reviews, and accounting research, as well as draft financial statements, disclosures, and other reports
  • Work with seasoned professionals who provide clients with the information and tools they need to achieve their operational, compliance, and financial reporting goals
  • Deliver business process control services in areas such as internal audit, construction audit, Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance, royalty compliance, and government contracting
  • Help clients implement effective and efficient processes and controls needed to mitigate internal and external organization threats and exposures

Tax

Successful tax planning requires the help of experienced tax professionals with the technical skills, knowledge, and strategic thinking to address challenges and make the most of timely opportunities.

You’ll help clients and gain expertise in the following areas:

  • Develop industry expertise and hone your skills in areas such as partnerships, estate planning, international taxation, and tax provisions
  • Work with clients to stay abreast of current and proposed laws and compliance requirements in the income and franchise, sales and transaction, and property tax arenas
  • Participate in projects related to tax credits, incentives, and refunds; or unemployment tax, refund audits, or nexus analysis and planning

Tax Specialty Group

Credits & Incentives

Federal, state, and local governments constantly seek ways to stimulate economic development and investment. One lever used frequently is tax credits and other incentives designed to foster innovative research and development, keep businesses in certain jurisdictions, or give them a reason to move to those jurisdictions.

On these teams, you’ll help companies apply and qualify for credits and incentives; ultimately, discovering opportunities to save clients money on federal, state, and local taxes and turn what would have been tax expenditures into positive cash flow to help grow their business.

International Tax

Many companies have some form of activity outside their national jurisdiction, whether it's foreign subsidiaries, joint ventures, international suppliers, or import-export relationships. These arrangements can provide distinct competitive advantages, but also create challenges for organizations to remain in compliance, reduce risk to individual employees and the company, and succeed in the marketplace. On the International Tax team, you’ll help companies understand the international components of their overall business operations and enhance their value.

State & Local Tax

Our team provides a variety of state tax consulting services, including but not limited to, income and franchise tax, sales and use tax, property tax, and tax controversy representation. With a large multistate Tax Practice, our State & Local Tax team helps clients across industries remain in compliance and reduce their tax burden.

Wealth Management

Our team of tax, family office, and investment advisory practitioners work together to help families, executives, and business owners plan for the future and achieve their goals. As part of Moss Adams, you’ll have the opportunity to work with clients that are doing amazing things: writing the next chapters in their family stories, building companies, creating legacies, and impacting communities.  

We have several different technical tracks within our wealth management team. Common among them is a vision for collaborating to meet our clients’ needs and to learn and grow with each other and positively impact client outcomes through multiple perspectives and technical disciplines.

Personal Tax

Our personal tax team works with clients to develop a comprehensive tax strategy tailored to their unique circumstances and helps preserve their hard-earned wealth. Our goals are to help reduce their tax burden and financial risk by creating a plan that works in concert with the other components of their financial framework and lifestyle.

Income Tax Planning

It takes careful planning to employ tax-saving strategies. Our income tax planning practitioners address clients’ unique needs and equip them with insight and answers to reduce taxes related to income. Core services may include individual income tax planning, projections, and preparations for federal, state, and local income taxes. Other services include stock option planning, charitable giving strategies, stock option planning, state residency and cross-border tax planning, tax audit representation, and tax planning related to the personal impact of business transactions. Mostly commonly, individuals in this career path obtain a CPA credential as part of their career journey.

Estate, Gift, & Trust Tax

Our estate planning team works with clients to create an estate plan that takes all planning dimensions into account, including income tax planning, estate tax planning, business succession planning and sale transactions, philanthropic goals, life insurance optimization, and financial planning.

Mostly commonly, individuals in this career path will obtain a CPA or JD LLM credential as part of their career journey.

Investment Advisory

Through Moss Adams Wealth Advisors LLC, we provide clients with comprehensive financial planning and investment management solutions. We work with clients to understand their current financial situation and risks, help them establish and prioritize their goals, determine an investing strategy, and help them execute their plan along the way. Within this practice area there are two distinct tracks: one as a financial advisor working with clients to plan and advise through their wealth journey and a second in investment management that focuses on implementing and monitoring client investing strategies.

Financial Planning & Advice

Our financial advisory team works with clients to discover and claim their future. We believe achieving financial goals happens through diligent planning—not by chance. Our financial advisors guide clients through a comprehensive planning process that helps them articulate or refine their financial goals, gain a detailed understanding of their current financial situation, evaluate risks, develop an investing strategy, and execute and monitor their plan along the way. Common goals often include financial independence or lifestyle maintenance, family and legacy planning, business transition planning, managing equity compensation or concentrated stock positions, and wealth building and preservation. Mostly commonly, individuals in this career path will obtain a CFP® credential as part of their career journey.

Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) owns the CFP® certification mark, the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification mark, and the CFP® certification mark (with plaque design) logo in the United States, which it authorizes use of by individuals who successfully complete CFP Board’s initial and ongoing certification requirements.

Investment Management

Our team researches and stays abreast of the US and global economies, current investment themes and risks, and manages our overall approach to implementing client investing strategies. Core functions of professionals in this practice area include conducting technical diligence on investment solutions, managing portfolio models, implementing and managing individual client portfolios, generating investment recommendations and proposals, and meeting with clients and prospects to discuss our investment strategies. Most commonly, individuals in this career path will obtain a CFA credential as part of their career journey.

Family Office

Our family office team provides clients with the resources they need to manage complex financial affairs and reach their personal and family goals. Core services include financial administration, financial reporting, coordination with other advisors, and major purchase consulting.

Operations
